  1. Listen up all you trendy lefties and blind labour voting sheep - you all have very short memories or are all on labour introduced benefits - it has just taken the coalition (Conservatives) five long years to get us out of the unholy mess that labour got us into in the first place. If you think voting labour is a good idea cast your mind back five years and then think again.

  2. I think there will be quite a few people 'drift back' once the new stand is up and running. The Lookers stand has been badly missed so the provision of decent facilities in the new stand will at least coax some of the 'lapsed' fans back - me and my son being two of them. We stopped going after the Lookers went and to be honest, whilst it sometimes hurts not to be there, we both haven't missed it that much due to the lack of facilities, matchday experience and home form generally. As Mr Corney will understand as a successful business man you need to provide the 'punters' will a product you can sell to them - and recently OAFC hasn't been that attractive as a package. Anyway hopefully onward and upward now with the future a lot brighter.

  3. Lags,

     

    I cannot believe you are defending Barry as much as it appears. Speaking from the outside, from what I have seen/understand there is no witch hunt - Barry has made certain comments in open public view which, on the face of it, a lot of fans find offensive/objectionable. As is the normal way on here someone has opened a Poll, rightly or wrongly, and if you wish you are able to add a vote for or against him. Like everything else on here, it carries no weight and in a couple of days time it will have been forgotten about.

     

    In general terms whether or not you would like to see 'his head on a spike at the top of Sheepfoot Lane - Ned Stark style' is of no consequence, (even though the event may attract a sizeable gathering). As several posters have confirmed if people are so unhappy with Barry there is a mechanism for voting him out - organise the necessary AGM or whatever have a democratic vote and see how it goes - simples.

     

    Barry has a record of making comments and thinking afterwards - there is even an argument that maybe he should have is freedom of speech removed (only joking people) If it is believed that he has now finally overstepped the mark then commence proceedings to remove him from the position. The main problem as far as I can see is that a lot of fans think that Barry is the 'Trust' so perhaps the time is right to make that move.

  4. It's different to the Premier League one, could be wrong but you'll be doing well to find it anywhere other the club shop.

     

    Pardon my bluntness but, as we have now sold our soul to the devil - we don't seem to have a 'club shop' anymore - certainly not for the foreseeable future. So what is the official club view - do we not need the royalties from £ 50+ shirt sales anymore (shirt plus number plus name £54). If we are looking to keep our better players and boost the coffers we need every little bit of money we can get - or are we just giving up on the replica kit deal.

  5. Anybody else had a problem with getting the new shirts printed. My son has just been into the Sports Direct Shop on Kingsway Rochdale and, whilst they had plenty of shirts, once he asked for it to be printed with a name and number he got a 'numb' look. A subsequent conversation with the store manager revealed that they only printed 'Premier' league shirts and he doubted the Oldham shop would be any different.

     

    Is this the standard we are now going to have to put up with from our partner store? Has anyone else struggled to get our shirt printed? HELP!!

  6. Anybody else think they have priced them a bit high for a pre-season friendly?

    Just think it may put some people off

  7. Lags - you should just let this go. You do enough in raising money and helping with playershare - you don't need all this personal abuse - because that is how it is now reading.

     

    For the rest of you involved in this 10 Pages of diatribe - just remember we are all in this together - we all want the same end - it is our club and we all support it to the best of our abilities. There is no point in berating people for not having the same view as you - Lags or whoever is a Latics Fan and that should be enough for anyone on the forum.

  8. Have you listened to it recently? It isn't getting any better (not calling Gordon/Roy or Mike here) The standard of service is appalling - its like stepping back in time to listening to long wave radio with frequent interruptions. The match content is the bear minimum with the briefest highlights, unlike other clubs output where you get extended highlights. At the moment I would say it isn't worth the money.

  9. As usual its the police taking the easy option. They cannot seem to do any "real police-work" like solving proper crimes. Its definitely a case of - lets keep the crime figures on target by arresting a few football fans getting quick convictions and showing how good the police are at getting results. Its the same for motorists with the new legislation - easy target, quick money and ticks the right boxes for making sure the crime figures look good. Then they wonder why they don't get any help off people.
