Wish I was there. And it irks that those over the hill do their day better. All the same, I'll pick a red rose today... Lankyshire Oi! Oi! Oi! Cheers, KC

Sorry, no for me. Stuff of nightmares, that. But keep on with the ideas... KC

No need for this. Cut it out, please.

^^^^sense^^^^ Owoodathowt it on OWTB? Chers, KC

Say more? Personally speaking, as an exile making just one or two games a year, can't believe it's not being played... Thanks for posting, Bob, brought a tear to the eye. Roll on the 26th.... KC

Thanks, LL, LB &SM, that's great news Cheers, KC

Do you know if they sell tickets? Would be very useful if they did. Be great to let the wife go shopping/ticket buying whilst I warm a seat in the Ashton Arms... Cheers, KC

Just a quick question. There's lots of talk on here about personal circumstances (job/young kids, etc.) effectively ruling out a huge tranche of the supporter base from aspiring to become a director, or, heaven forbid, the chairman of the trust due to the time one has to invest. I'm just wondering how many hours on average the directors put in each week. Casting aside greetings, chitchat, supping tea/beer, watching the game, etc, how much actual time of decision-making/brainstorming/impementing and follow-up does it consume? Just curious. FWIW, my stab in the dark would be 203 minutes, 37 seconds but admittedly could be way off. (Go on, add your guesstimate - it's just like guessing how many beans are in the jar) ;) Winner gets to lead the trust!* All the best to all fellow fans, KC Oldham 'Till It Dies *This is a bit of lightheartedness masking a fairly serious question.

Tell me this isn't true, gawd, tell me it isn't true...

Not 'alf. Very good comments. I'd say the gaffer is doing a very good job (you should see all the knicker-twisting going on at Down At The Mac). Makes the nonsense on here pale in comparison. It's in our own hands. Cheers, KC

Went to mow a meadow.... 30,000 men, 29,999 men, 29,998 men (etc. etc) .........>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 1 man and his dog Spit went to mow a whatcould'veshould'vewould've been meadow.... Meh. KC

Laughed out loud at this... Quality! Tip o' the hat to Roger. KC

me, too

Thanks for all the suggestions, all, but crikey! All three stands have been recommended! I suppose everyone has their preferred spot. I figured with the Lookers not there to block the wind, certain stands - especially the Main, would be colder than previously. Yet from memory, there's fewer effers and jeffers in there. Any of the Main-standers think the same? Cheers once again. KC

Cheers for the reply, bt. I know the spot you're talking about - the biggest little one and I were in there once or twice last summer. Not family-friendly at all - where does one change curap-filled pants? In the shut-down bogs? (Not a dig, BTW) Let me re-phrase the question: Which stand is least wind-whipped and/or has any kind of facilities for folk with toddlers? Cheers, KC

Evening all, My family and I have chosen Shaw as this year's winter vacation destination. Can think of no place better on Earth to enjoy the cold, rain and misery. Needless to say, and determined to be as bad a parent as I can, Latics indoctrination is required for the two little 'uns. The biggest little 'un will be about 2 1/2 come Christmas; the littlest likkle 'un 6 months. So the question is; where's the least cold/windy/kid-tolerent place to torture 'um? Those that say "Not next to me" needn't reply ;) Seriously, any advice? Be much appreciated... Cheers, KC

The most shocking thing to me about this whole, tawdry affair is the sub-head. That is all, move along. And mind you don't get slapped on the way out. Meh. KC

To be frank, I think Mr. Owen is part of the problem, not part of the solution. One only needs to read his original, error-prone post to see the evidence. Not only is it badly written, but it also contains a confession within of his complete inability to do anything but act as a chocolate teapot for, by his own admisson, 7 very long years... We have a young, eager, hungry manager, chomping at the bit and leading the team. We need that same hunger and eagerness to galvanise the town. Again I state: A sniping, defending, self-justifying Mr. Owen is part of the problems we face as a club, and is far, far, far from the answer. Owen The Albatross Out. "Keep The Faith?" I'd rather say "Stop The Rot". Pah. KC

Not as wierd as yesterday's lunch: Tasted like balsa. Cheers, KC

Barry, gizza a wave, Barry, Barry, gizza a wave!

I'd like to contribute, but I'm living overseas, so it's impossible for me to set up a standing order. I'll be home briefly over New Year. Would it be possible to donate cold, hard cash? Cheers, KC

Aye... You don't have to be an idiot to suport Latics, but it sure helps. New imaginary stadium name: "Fruit Loop Bowl" (or some variation thereof. Cheers, jss. KC

OP Please refrain from spurious polls, if only for the fact that they make you, and anyone responding - like me - look an idiot. KC Meh.

Quality, yes, Oldham would be bluesier, though. Sobbin' into my pint, bluesier. KC
