Has the area at Beal Valley been looked into? Just below Sholver and up from Shaw Rd, the council had designs to build a municiple golf course on that land. I think the last plans were to build just 9 holes. Can the 9 hole course not be built along with a new stadium and all the leisure faciltys? There must be at least 60 acres of land on that site. If someone has mentioned it before sorry for repeating.

Very funny, sat here crying laughing very very funny!

How badly is he injured? I see him nearly every day in the gym doing weights and running on the treadmill, I even saw him trying some stupid tricep excercise the other week that nearly broke his wrists, I said to him, you might as well break your wrist and have the rest of the year off!

I would be happy if they did do that and let us go bankrupt, I would rather pay £10 a week to watch a newly formed AFC Oldham who would start at the bottom of the football pyramid, than pay £20 a week to watch the dire :censored:e that is on offer at the moment, it really wouldnt bother me if Oldham Athletic went to the wall right now. Lost the faith me? Totally this season!

went shopping to Ikea

I am currently renovating my house and I have come across a stack of my old Latics Programmes from season's 1999 - 2001/20002. There are programmes from most away matches from those season's as well as most home games as well. I don't have room for them anymore so want to get rid of them. I dont want much money for them if any at al,l but would like to see them go to a good home or a collector. So if any of you know of a local collector or know someone that wants them I would prefer to do that rather than put them in the bin. Thanks Andy

This new marketing manager, any chance of him putting his boots on and sorting and playing centre mid on Saturday he might just turn out better than the current crop of 5h1te we have!

Dont count on the delivery as they have been delivering my Kitchen for 3 saturdays on the trot now, without much sucsess on there part!

Myself included in this, I worked away for 10 years so missed a lot of Latics, but when I finally came back I started going to games again the first being Boxing day at home against Lincoln where I think we lost, Ritchie was in charge. Since then I have been a die hard supporter, West Ham on a wednesday night Carlo Corrazin 1-0 being among the highlights, awesome night got home at 5am on the Thursday morning and into work at 6! But after the garbage that has been served up this season I too am out! As I feel right now, never too return!

He didnt have flu when he was in the gym and in the swimming pool on Friday afternoon either, however Purdie was trying something stupid with tricep dips, dont be surprised to see him out with injured wrists!

In current years the best match I have been to was West Ham 0 Oldham 1, Worthington Cup, Wed Nov 06 2002, got home at 4am and was in work at 6am, great night out had by all, I think there was 1000 latics there.

Hi OldhamSheridan I have always been here, I just tend to read most of the time, but I'm past the point of caring anymore, its quite clear that nobody on OWTB can agree with each other about whats best for the club and what should be done with it. I do agree with you about O Grady though, but Shez must have seen something in him, he might have been watching him after 1 or 12 pints, we will never know!

It doesn't matter how many stands we have, where the new stadium is going to be built, the sacking of Shez or the loaning out of Lee Hughes, the fact is that if we were top of the table or near the top of the table with some half decent footballers instead of a team full of cast offs and one ageing injured over the hill striker, people would be willing to come and support the team, as it is we have a team that can defend but don't know how to score goals and in football its quite a big part of actually winning games!!! Why didn't we try to sign a couple more strikers in the summer instead of signing half a dozen midfielders, none of them in the mould of Ritchie Wellens or Neil Kilkenny (and I never thought that I would say that about kilkenny) the loaning out of fleming hasn't been great either but that subject has been well documented on here. Also why loan out O Grady, and Stephens? they haven't had a chance since Shez brough them in, Lee, Brooke and Allesandra deserve a chance to shine as well, has everyone forgotten the hat trick Allesandra scored against Scunthorpe, and what happened in the next game? He got dropped! Its worse than supporting Harchester United at times supporting Oldham

I would say that without being funny or trying to antagonise things, that just by reading a couple of the headlines on this message board that the feelings are all gloom and doom (save for half a dozen happy clappers who cant see through the :censored: that is Oldham Athletic FC)

Sorry if this has been said before, but people stop coming to watch Oldham if the football team and players are crap, which incidently they are and have been for a few years! A bit of investment on players and getting players that don't bottle it at the back end of the season, when we are in the playoffs would surely bring people back.

- He wants a big wage to make as much as possible before he quits which i can understand I'm sure that once he retires he will have a book deal for his autobiography, that will make him a good bit of cash for his retirement !!

I talked to him in the gym 2 weeks ago, he was with Wolfy, I asked him what he was doing next season and he said I dont have anything yet, and added no one had shown interest in him yet either, so god knows where hes heading, I'd welcome him back here, when ever I have seen him in the gym or out and about he always comes across as a nice guy. It seems thats not the same in the dressing room though.

Just stumbled across this post, very very very funny, keep it going please, i have not laughed this much for ages, really brings some fun to the day to day running of Harchester United, sorry I mean Oldham Athletic

I'm happy with DP, I'm glad that the TTA have ignored the calls for Ex Latics heros at long last, I just hope people on the boards can give the new manager some time and let him build his own team and see what happens. Another point is that now we have a new manager with no links to Latics maybe people on here can stop the calls for Kilkenny, Haining, Wellens etc to come and play for us again, who ever DP signs lets get behind them and support the them all.

Whilst Hughes was scoring we were a play off position, his preformances have been mediocre lately as have most of the team really, I think that once we had lost against Tranmere and only drawn at Cheltenham the writing was on the wall for this season being over, so may as well get rid now rather than later. If Hughes had have been scoring every week I doubt we would have dropped out of the play off places.

I heard this week that Lee Hughes was not sacked but loaned out because if he had got to 20 goals he was to get quite a big bonus. Make sense really as its quite obvious that he wasn't going to be here next season, why waste the money now the season is all but over. My source is a first team player who I am not going to name

Sorry if Im well behind Mighty Bosh, but if you are not happy after 3 years and not prepaired to wait another year for promotion why dont you try supporting someone who will bounce up and down the leagues for the rest of time. I have supported Oldham for 28 years now and have seen good bad and indifferent, so I say goodbye Joe Royle your job has been done, bring in someone who is not afraid of giving the youngsters there chance next year, and maybe we will get promotion with the kids, Hmmm Alan Hansen sometime in the 90s i belive

No disrespect meant to Shez, but after every poor preformance Shez came out in the media and stated that "next week I'l change things around drop players who need dropping" from my view the only player he ever dropped was Lomax after the Hereford match. So T3A hae now changed Shez for Royle, wether Royle will stay beyond the end of the season I dont know, nor am I sure if I want him to stay and possibly scar his reputation at this club. At least Royle has come in and had the balls to change things around. The season is over for us now, so let Joe give the youngsters a chance in the last 7 games and seee what happens, if nothing else it might give them a bit of confidence for next season. My own theory on why we have come up short again this season is that Shez brought too many journeymen strikers in on loan.

I went down on Monday afternoon for tickets, I couldn't agree more, very nice, might have to buy my tickets during the week in future. I reckon big Joe could be eyeing them up, to be recycled into our new pitch.

Because he has a chip the size of everest on his shoulder. I didnt say I wouldnt follow my team, I just wont be going whilst he is in charge, I detest the man end of
