I've been trawling the web for info on him

Probably thought it was a Chelsea top and is now washing his getaway car with it.

Bit harsh, but a fairly accurate description.

Better save it for "Parkinson" appearance.

LOL

Good post, there are plenty of other ways to spend twenty quid these days and Football in general needs to wise up, plenty of empty seats in the Premier as well in the lower leagues. Rugby League seem to have been far more proactive in attracting supporters. Still increasing the crowds is what the Club pays the commercial/marketing department for, so let them get their act together.

Darlington and Wycombe both had and probably still have shops in the town centre, due to the fact their stadiums are out of town. BP could almost be classed as out of town and therefore the benefits of a town centre store would be that it raises the profile of the Club and also encourages impulse buying. Worth a try IMO if the costs could be covered.

Groves and Whittle

Belinda CARLISLE UNITED

Went along with my four year old for his first visit to BP and also to purchase a few items from the Club Shop, unfortunately with a reasonable crowd and an opportunity to make some money...... the Shop was closed. I appreciate that it wasn't a Latics only crowd, but I reckon they could have at least shifted a few England flags etc. Alan Sugar would not be impressed.

I thought we were playing Derby???

OK, more nostalgia, does anyone remember the boutique that Alan Groves ran, I think it was in Hollins?. Pretty sure it was called ENFER.

There was a Club shop in Oldham Town Centre, called The Latics Tangerine Shop, not sure if they even had a shop at the ground in those days. That would have been in the early seventies when tangerine was used as the home kit.

Good News Best Wishes to you all. Lofty

Yes, and I forgot to put a question mark at the end of my last post, just shows how good my grammar is. Great Chippy at Hollingworth Lake, one of the best I have been to, although the Chinese at Hurst Cross, Ashton takes some beating. Maybe we could start a "Best Chippy/ Takeaway" thread.

Sorry to be pedantic but isn't it Hollingworth Lake.

First name that came into my head......Mike Bernard!!!!!

£20 to spend a couple of hours sat on a plastic seat in all weathers watching "third division" football is too much for the "floating supporter". Whilst we all know the reasons why OAFC and other clubs have to charge these prices, most people can think of other ways of spending/using their twenty quid. I really think until the game becomes more affordable i.e like in the 60s 70s, attendances will continue to decline and before anyone asks I reckon if it was feasable £10 for adults and £5 for juniors would offer reasonable value for money. That's Life Lofty

Still think it's too expensive for the "at a loose end on a Saturday" Oldhamer

Bradford Away FA Cup replay mid eighties, 5-0 down at half time we left with about 25 mins to go in order to drown our sorrows in Ashton. Whilst trying to locate the car, someone noticed it being driven off up the hill, after a "high speed" chase in the back of a nearby Police Van backdoors flying open as we went, the "game" Coppers fianlly gave up and after spending some time reporting the theft and waiting for alternative transport (train) we ended up skint after train tickets and a taxi as far as we could get from Manchester with a two mile walk home at 1am. Happy Days

Sorry, but it aint worth 20 quid.

North of the border?

Long shot Rhyl

Sorry re colour, how about grey with navy print or navy with tangerine print. Cheers

Great designs, like the idea of a number 11 on the back and maybe a Groves above and OAFC below the number. Either way count me in for a medium, keep up the good work boys. Lofty
