    the moat

    If you raised it so they cant see the away fans then the away fans would not be able to see parts of the pitch so that wouldnt work! Although at Burnden Park they didnt mind a supermarket blocking your view!!

     

    Thats true.....

    And if Numpties brother came 'Humpty Numpty' there would be lots of H&S issues. :grin:

    I think if the numpties could not see the away fans and vice versa there would be less trouble. We could increase the moat walls, not too high so it restrics the view (although in some matches that might be a bonus)

    The chanting could still be heard but all that bravado shown by both sets of supporters might be reduced.

    Which Players Have You Met & Who Did You Most/Least Like ?

    in The opinions4u Terraces - Latics Forum

    Not met any latics players sadly but i did live in Huddersfield for a couple of years with my partner (now ex) lovingly known as The Bradford Bitch who worked with Peter Jacksons missus (nurses), I got to know him quite well and went out a few times around Bradford with Iffy Onuora and Iwan Roberts. Iffy was a great lad with no airs and graces as was Jacko but Iwan Roberts ....what a miserable bas**** he was.

    What a life these footie players have i was amazed at how many women recognised them and how easy it was to pull.

     

     

    Hope my new missus aint reading this!

    For me my family have always supported Latics so I have followed suit, the usual reasons tend to be for the above, which begs the question why don't more people support Latics? Especially these people who are born and bred in Oldham, probably have family who support Latics, some of you say lack of Marketing, other reasons may be just a lack of catchment area, it might just be a lack of success, in other threads we've tried to discuss how to solve the problems, but what would you say is the root of the problem? I'm torn personally

     

     

    Growing up in Blackley in the 70s i can honestly say at our school (Plant Hill) Latics weren't on the radar even though they were the nearest ground at only 7mls. away, i can only remember one latics fan in the whole of our year and we all thought he was a bit weird!

    I fell into the blue camp as my old fella was a red.

    Converted to latics in the early 80s when i was old enough to make my own mind up re where i watched footie - reason, started drinking in Miggie and got in with an Oldham crowd.

    For the past 20 years I have lived in Glossop and unfortunately i cannot say i have seen much change in peoples perception of our club.

    It riles me to say this but we are an unfashionable, unglamourous, averge third division side and that is not going to change in the short term.

    Reading some of the above comments it is obvious that most parents have enough trouble getting there own offspring to support Latics never mind kids from red and blue households.

    We have to widen our net re. school advertising, lets get into the schools in some of Manchesters nearer suburbs Blackley, Moston, Crumpsall, etc. put together some family packages where 1 adult and 2 children can gain admission for the price of 1 adult and 1 child or variations on the theme. target the kids / families who do not currently watch live footie, make them welcome, put aside family areas where they can come buy refreshments easily, see the game without having the aggro of asking people in front to sit down. and not be subject to or in the vicinity of swearing louts.

    BP is big enough to accomodate a lively banter filled area (RRE) and find places for the more reserved public.
