Excellent posts, condolences to you and your family peanuts.
I started going with my gramp in the late 60's, and we had some great times, with home games in the old broadway stand, I was then a ballboy from around 70 to 74, including the promotion season, when we also went to Southport on that easter Monday and York too.
Loads of great memories, without him i wouldn't have these.
His photo from 1990 with the Littlewoods Cup , that he queued to have taken in the old Littlewods store in Oldham, is still pride of place above our fireplace.
Sadly he passed away in 2000, though from where he is in Royton cemetary you can see the Latics floodlights above the trees, so he's never far away.
I've also passed on our great club to my 3 kids, and even though a couple of them live away in London and south Shields, they still go when back home, and we've had a few away days in and around London together too.
Definitaly renewing my season ticket too, even more so after reading all these posts.
