I have wore my Oldham football tops all over Nothern Ireland during the past 20 years, Blue, Red, Yellow, Orange, green to name but a few. So all this balls about not wearing certain colours in specific areas is a load of balls. The only comments I ever get is why the hell do you support Oldham Athletic.

Living in N.Ireland as i do, i was wondering how many other fans there are supporting the latics from here or even abroad.

 

Im asking because i was at my nephews under 14 football final in a town called Lisburn 2 Saturdays ago, and walked past a fella wearing a latics hat, ( i myself was wearing the latics woolly hat ).

 

This is a rarity to say the least, as in 18yrs of supporting Oldham ive seen 4 people in N.Ireland wearing Latics merchandise.

 

Im not even an exile as ive lived in N.Ireland my whole life, and started to support Oldham when i got into football, which happend to be when we got to the Semis in the FA.Cup in 90, so i suppose you could call me a glory hunter!!!!! ( im 25 by the way just incase yous thought im supporting Oldham since birth!!!

 

I Manage to follow the teams progress on Latics world and never miss the commentary, unless i go and see the boys live, and im disappointed to say i only seen 3 games last season season, Swansea, Southend and Leeds all at home. Its handy enough, me and the misses stay just down the road from Boundary Park in the Premier Travell In, but all in all expensive.

 

So how do the other fans abroad/ N.Irleland Follow the boys and how many are there???

I'm a fellow Oldham fan living in Ballymoney (Norn Ireland), been supporting the boys in blue for over 18 years. Been over to a few games this year, Huddersfield and Cheltenham at home in the league, Forest away in the league and away to Everton in the cup.

I travel over to the games with the father in law who I have converted to being a Latic and 2 other Oldham fans who live in Belfast.

Oldham - Coleraine FC - Glasgow Rangers and Lecce

I for one will be hoping for a Rangers win tonight.

Aberdeen are sniffing around Gary McDonald acording to the rag (Sun)

If I lived in the Oldham area I would snap up a season ticket no problem, however being based in Northern Ireland it doesn't make sense.

Get over to Northern Ireland Shez, you would be more than welcome.

I remember a few years ago when Ian Dowie was the manager the Latics played 2 games against Lisburn Distillery and Ballymena.

They can keep him, I would sign Jarrett up would be a great player if fully fit
