Cricket is their game.

Latics consistently put me in a bad mood these days, but one can always learn.

FIFY

You mean they played, or just turned up to watch?

Thanks for that. The only problem is that I now seem to go straight to Home page without having to click?? Will try a reboot or Google it. Seems silly not to have the link on the Tickets page, but hey ho this is Oldham.

So where is this ticket site? All I get when I click on tickets is the same web page renewed.

Can't help but feel we are all going to be a little disappointed by the end of this day.

Can't fault the effort today, two great stops by the keeper and a vital punch out. Fitness still not there you can tell we are 2 - 3 weeks behind. Started slow each half, but grew into the game. I am a lot less pessimistic about the coming season.

Thanks, much appreciated.

Could be an emotional day this. I was brought up on stories about Hardwick, gemmel and Burnett and of the fateful night we drew away at Bradford to gain promotion to the then League 2. And, of course, the Board's failure to invest to keep us there. My first match was 1 November 1958 at home to Watford lost 3- 5 (Peter phoenix scoring 2 for us). Seen it pretty much all since. Jimmy was always my favourite player, the true grit in the middle and very much an 'engine room. Fast forward to First home fixture 1971, home to Bolton Wanderers our opening game in League 3 after forever in League 4 (and 3 North). Just before half-time my Dad collapses in the Chaddy end and dies in my arms - didn't see the end (drew 2 - 2). Then the disgraceful treatment of Jimmy, other than his Testimonial I didn't go again until Jimmy moved to City. Seen it all since, will be there today. KTF

Please has anyone got directions to these car parks from Broadway roundabout?

Just thinking the same myself!

I associate the tangerine kit with Ken Bates when Jimmy Mcilroy as manager.

"prerequisite formalities such is the level of rule bending!" Sounds corrupt to me.

This +1 Good post. I admire your tenacity, but I am afraid wasted and those who do not want to listen.

From Crusoe's post. "Theresa May, the new prime minister, has spoken of there being a need for a UK-wide approach, and she now also wants to consult British dependencies." May is first and foremost a politician as her cabinet decisions have demonstrated. Gove kicked out, clever sincere, but not liked by anyone - no threat. Boris, the naughty boy sits at the front of the class where the teacher can keep an eye on him. He will either surprise everyone and do a brilliant job, but I think she is waiting for the (almost inevitable) cock-up so he can be binned for good. Andrea Leadsom was a difficult one as she had strong support, has actually had real jobs in the real world and (god forbid) is probably competent, two aspects that are feared and hated by the political establishment. However, she seems politically nieve, why else drop out of the race? I imagine she was promised a bigger job (Chancellor) but was betrayed. Environment wins no friends - she will be hated by the warmers or the sceptics no matter what she does. Hunt is the puzzle, a proven incompetent and not popular with his colleagues, but he does have very powerful family connections. As for May herself, I think she will do what she has done for the past 5 years - keep her job by 'talking the talk' (remember - strong on crime, strong on immigration, strong on hate preachers etc) but do little and achieve even less.

Not borne out by the posts on this site.

Looking like a relegation season to me.

Except he believes in out, based on his track record, yet was forced to declare in, honest???

Would be interested to see the link. I imagine it all comes down to words and interpretation and implication. Step forward the lawyers.

From 'The Slog' A number of seemingly random events over the last five days now appear to form some kind of pattern. Cameron resigns but delays triggering Article 50 Back in 2010, the EU rule was we could leave if we applied Article 50, or repealed the European Communities Act 1972. These two caveats still apply, but only till 31st March 2017, after which date these two pieces of legislation will require a QMV. Boris Johnson calls a press conference to say there is “no need for haste” on Article 50 Michael Gove endorses Johnson’s view The VoteLeave group freezes UKIP/Nigel Farage out of discussions about the process of Brexit The Blairite wing of Labour moves swiftly against Jeremy Corbyn, whom they know full well is in reality deeply suspicious of the EU The EC wakes up to the game plan, and Merkel suggests UK be given “as much time as possible” to decide when to trigger Article 50. One doesn’t have to be a rabbit-hole conspiracist to suspect a unified Establishment strategy to dilute and even negate what 52% of the electorate voted for five days ago.

Undecideds plus leavers far outnumber remainers. By even more.
