It's ludicrous he doesn't already have one, I certainly assumed he did!

I've sat, staring at this thread, since I heard a few minutes ago. I'm lost for words. My fleeting time with Latics is well documented, on here of all places, but something that perhaps wasn't so well known was how much Gordy looked after me. He never once said no to a request for help, no matter how big or small it was, he remained the 'voice of Oldham' when I realised I wasn't really cut-out for interviewing footballers, he drove me to and from a multitude of away grounds (in a far less terrifying manner than Roy, who tried to kill us several times), he was just the most wonderfully genuine and warm person I met whilst at the club. The term "legend" is banded about too much, as is the phrase "The term "legend" is banded about too much" - but neither have been more apt; he was the soul of that club, for me, and a legend as far more than that; as a person. And now I'm awkwardly crying in the office. Rest In Peace Gordy

No it's not - it's now today again! Wait, is it tomorrow?

Probably either 'cooked' or 'roasted'

I think I'd take in a packet of ham... pop that on my pie to make a point.

They also seem to be investing in the community and their grand plan of building a 6,000 seat stadium feels in keeping with their green ethos and within their means. The vegan thing goes against them, of course.

Done

You could try helping instead maybe? What'd I miss?

A special thanks, from this weekend, to @phoenix blue and tangerine - who not only helped me get a ticket for a mate, at the last minute, but refused to let me pay him for it. He instead asked me to donate the money to OWTB, which I have done today. Thanks again, mate!

Fixed.

I'll have the away End spare mate. I'll PM you.

Good point... look out for these:

Touch your contactless card on the entry and exit readers and it will debit your account the journey cost. You can also use Apple/Android pay if you have that on your smart phone / device.

The sports bar is likely the one in the same building - the Cross Rail station. So you can't miss Giant Robot, it's upstairs at the other end. Anything else you want to know just ask - I spend 5 days a week here. And yeah - Andy mentioned that! Can you send a picture of it in a PM thru Facebook please?

Yeah Tom, you're fine mate. There's a great food place in Canary Wharf now called Giant Robot - not cheap, but worth it. Edit: Google says Zone 5 so about 3 quid one way. I'll let Will talk routes, I don't know Sarf London.

is outside warming up...!

If you'd like to elaborate on your comment a little, I would be happy to answer your questions regarding our decision?

A note to everyone: Be nice. A note to Steve: You're too nice!

Proof has been provided and conversation suitably devolved in to name calling and badgering. You all know him. You all loathe him. The One. The Only. DANCING LOCK!!

You're hurting your own point BB80. Stop with the name calling, stay on the topic you raise, and I will not lock the topic. Feed the "Troll", as you put it, and I will simply lock it. I care about this topic, but not enough to deal with this shit all day.

A tale as old as time itself... you let an OWTB thread run long enough and people will act like cunts. I think there is a very, very serious conversation to be had about all of this and in amongst the above are some valid, some vital, points. However, a vast swathe of people are acting like absolute bell ends towards each other and I don't have the time nor patience to clean it up. So, as feels inevitable...

I've checked the thread carefully - I see no bullying behaviour. If you do - please use the 'Report post' button at the top of that post to inform the Mod team. We investigate every report and act when appropriate.

An open letter; from OWTB.co.uk to Paul and Jeni.

A million times this! It literally had a giant hole in it, because they didn't know how long this mystery person had been watching. At the very least this means the club participated in the creation of this letter. It wasn't a surprise to them, they manipulated or adapted what was given to meet their needs. It's an embarrassment.
