I'd hazard a guess that we're not getting tied into contracts that will leave us vulnerable if the :censored: hits the fan at the end of this season. I understand that all the new contracts have options depending on which tier of the Football League we're in next season. i guess this really tells us all we need to know. It's a term that's been used a lot recently but it is quite cleary a case of :censored: or bust!!

calm down everyone Let's hear what Simon Corney's got to say next week and take it from there! Far too much conjecture, speculation and bull:censored: being posted on here. Those that claim to be in the know, should just keep their powder dry and let the people who are actually working on securing whatever future we have, get on with it. There's jack :censored: either you, me or our bloody trust can do on this one at the moment, it's way out of our league. The only way we can help is to back off and let the powers that be give it their best shot. There's still a possibility that the council may be able to assist with some sort of short term safety net, failing that then the only other viable option at the minute would seem to be the Regional Athletics Stadium. There ain't a Football ground that's a viable option for one reason or another, so unless some friggin delerious billionaire rolls up, I'm afraid the best thing we can do at the moment is shut the up and leave it to those that are empowered to act, act!!!! Btw, is there a game on tomorrow

Everyone is, barring 700 I predict a huge following and lots of noise!!

As yer man said, plus they're kind of 'underwritten' if you like by the government, in turn the only way you'll be able to really bankrupt the 'council' is to bankrupt the country. Enlightened???

Nigh on impossible really!!!

Jesus Christ, did I just read that correctly?? Our future's in safe hands, last man out turn off the lights

Unavailable between 9-5 on Saturdays http://www.curzon-ashton.co.uk/Community/Diary.htm

I hear what you're saying but it isn't clear! If Simon as the leader of the club makes a statement 'predicting' what's going to happen, then I'm damned sure that's what's going to happen!! Unless of course it was knee jerk reaction to the events and if so, it needs explaining as such and then we can all calm down a little.

LEAGUE football will not take place at Boundary Park next season as the full implications of the collapse of the plans for a new stadium are realised. I know Simon is very emotional at the moment and rightly so, we all are!! You can't come out with a comment like that without adding some meat to the bones!! Why will there be no football at BP, is it because there'll be no money to continue, the ground's been sold, some clause in the deal with Blitz and Gazal?? Get yer arse in gear Simon, tell it as it is and let's see what we can do about it as a collective! It's our team and we'll live and die together!! As my mum used to say, 'you can't hide from it forever, get out there right away, face it up and sort it out' I'll see you at the ground then

Nice sentiments and very poignant, alas the people who need to read this and react won't. The vast majority of posters on this board do attend matches and are the lifeblood of this club, the town has changed for many reasons over the last 20 odd years. You only have to look around the markets, shopping centres and streets to see that we're now a multi cultural town and alas the Asian population have no interest in our football and rugby roots. It doesn't take a genius to work out that if one race of people's numbers increase then another race's numbers will decrease, this sadly is the case in Oldham. Add to that the economy, no investment in the town, long established businesses, mills etc, closed up and gone and the piss poor offering of a team we've had for the last few years, therein lies your answer. It's a sorry state of affairs but sadly it's the reality, unless some serious head the ball with a bank balance of multi millions takes us on board then the writing's on the wall. Sadly, that's the measure of what we're facing!!

Yeah, it's called a side salad

There was an Irish lad that we got from Leeds that wasn't too bad at right back Think some knob turned him into a left back somewhere

3 more coming in according to Oyston!! Do they have ginger donkeys

Aherm, Elite Development Squad, if you don't mind

Ha ha, you winding me up now Nothing's going on with regards Kieran Lee, I'd go along with your views on AH being up to something elsewhere though!!

It's nowt to do with Kieran!!

Ha ha, where did that come from Got summat you'd like to share

Ha ha, like taking candy from a baby

I'm pretty sure there's at least one more in the departure lounge

I'm still waiting for mine, come on people............man up

Same as mine then

Now we've assembled a pretty impressive squad, who's your best eleven ? Amos Lee Trotman Hazell Evina Taylor Stephens Furman White Tounkara Reid Thought about Taylor in the middle for Stephens and Morais out wide.

20% is 20%, euro or sterling it all adds up the same

Barry, Don't come on and antagonise the natives, you're only allowed to comment on good news events 24 hours is a long time in football terms

I'll paint it how it is, 2-2, disappointing draw as opposed to Walasll 1-1, undeserved draw!! That's life as Esther Ratzan used to say
