  1. I've got two adult tickets spare now for the chaddy if your still interested.
  2. The ball boys have hidden all the balls and despite the 0-6 scoreline today's game has been abandoned!
  3. Maybe sometimes it takes an self-absorbed 39 year old to throw a tantrum to appreciate a true professional...step forward Andy Liddell!
  4. Just reading through the posts tonight someone mentioned the wider picture. Tonight, for me more worrying than the second half performance, even more worrying than the our failure to string five passes together was Sheridan's inability to even attempt to change a game from 2 nil down. If we're lucky enough to get there - picture the scene. Play off final we're two nil down at Wembly what does Sheridan do? Delve into his three years experience he has gained as a manager and think back to the games like tonight he has 'tried' to change? The alarming thing for me is that games like tonight are surely the time to throw everything at a team. See what works and what doesn't. Take the last twenty minutes. If the options aren't on the bench why not throw Gregan up front and give it a good go. What did we really have to lose? Do the 3700 that made it tonight not deserve reverting to a 3-3-4 formation and see if the opposition can cope with it? Instead as per normal we get like for like changes and let what was a massive game just drift away. I'm seriously disillusioned and the only positive I can take from tonight is that sky aren't turning up till next week. Oh well remember for the interviews lads "Shez has got one of the lowest budgets in the league"!! Utter crap!
  5. Hi All , first post on here. I may have missed some posts on this so apologies if I'm going over old ground but Simon's comments have definitely raised a response! Some great ideas on this tread that hopefully the club will look at. My personal opinion is that Simon is attempting to whip up some more support but i feel this message could have come across in a more positive fashion (in a look what your missing out on...after all we are top of the league!) These first few games were never going to be great attendances with people on holiday and some may not be paid untill the end of the month - after all of August trying keep their kids entertained. One think that I don’t think has been mentioned that has hit our attendances (maybe not this weekend) is the fact that so many pubs are getting away with showing 3pm kick offs on a foreign channel that as far as i know is still illegal (please correct me if I’m wrong). Its common knowledge in Denton a lot a pubs have games on at 3pm and some even advertise this fact. I used to know plenty of City/Utd fans who would come to Oldham for a match if they were away from home but now they can have a few beers in the pub and watch them on foreign TV. If the owners can hang in there over the next few months, for what its worth I reckon attendances will come up to 6000+ by end of October...if we can keep this team together. The feel good factor around the club will just take a little time to wake up the town....and if the club can get their marketing and PR machine even close to the level of football we're playing at the moment then we really could be going places!!
