  1. yes good to know all went ok, keep yer pecker up Barry (or maybee not ).
  2. My Grandad was a massive Latics fan and vowed to take me to a game ,however he died in october 1967 when I was a mere 4years old and was unable to take me. My mum forced my dad who was a devout red until then to take me to the next home game wich im told was a rare 3-0 win v crew in what was to be a bad season as we were relegated that season. That was it the boy was hooked and badgered his father to take him every week, dad also started to be less and less a red. As time passed the family was exiled to Blackpool in 1973 but dad still had to make sure we went home for every game . Mum and dad were to get divorced and dad returned to Oldham leaving me aged 11 in pool, under peer preasure at school and being unable to get to BP on my own I started to watch the seasiders but it wasnt the same. When I reached thirteen i took a paper round and found out if i saved my wages for two weeks i could afford to catch the train to werneth via victoria and get in to the game wich i did for 5 years till i passed my driving license and have attended on a regular basis work allowing about 15/18 home games and 6 or so away games a season , all three of my now grown up kids follow Le bleu and I am fighting to keep my grandson whos father is a Blackpool fan interested in Chaddy oldham as he calls us .
  3. caught hanging round ladies toilets in nuts magazine probably better than watching what was on the pitch lol
  4. to the guy who took my grandson onto the pitchside and bench to get the players autographs before kick off,one star struck 5 year old from Blackpool now wants to come to watch latics with grandad rather than going to Bloomfield Rd with his dad, reminder as to just why i follow Oldham .
  5. would like to see him forward at set pieces as opposition may ignore him and he cant half jump for a little guy
  6. Am I reading things right on the OS ,why is the shop closing at noon on Saturday , surely this should read till kick off, what buisness closes when the majority of its prospective clientele are going to be in the close vicinity madness.
  7. with Wes and Dean struggling for fitness loose Scappuzi and try to bring Cywka in
  8. very sad decent bloke always gave his all.Thoughts go out to his family .RIP
  9. OH LANKY LANKY LANKY LANKY LANKY LANKY LANCASHIRE GET IN THERE......
  10. The length of time he stayed at AFC Blackpool before taking the massive step up to AFC Fylde what a player HAAAAAAAAAAA
  11. A tad expensive at £25 a sq mt considering the badge will be extinct by next May. Considering the hoohaa about the clubs new identity the comercial team are very slow in introducing merchandise with our new badge on .Missing the boat on new season excitement and the chance of increased sales at the club shop !!!
  12. Reid for me non stop still going strong at end of extra time.Fans need to watch his movement off the ball instead of constantly being on his back support him .Cisak excelent shot stopper some superb saves but handling/punching needs to improve ,when it does we have some keeper on our hands.
  13. To those that are going to Fleetwood on saturday , take a look at the new stand they have ,cost £4 mil and is a catalyst for evrything that is going on at a club that a few yearsd ago were an amature club with crowds of 150 ,they have created a thriving club that is now profesional both on and off the pitch. The revenue generated is alowing them to plan the next phase of the ground and develop the club to gain league status. We already have one decent stand the RRE, this would make a second with the ability to raise the neede revnue and interest to develop the next phase. Living in Blackpool i know it took the Oystons over 15years to get the first two stands redeveloped the third took another 3 seasons and the final stand is a work in progress,as revenue grew from the initial rebuild by renting space to the locan council,NHS ect they have been able to increase spending on the playing budget culminating in reaching the premier league and financial stability for years.Simon should take a look at them as a template for what can be acheived from building one stand at a time.
  14. Thought Reid worked his socks off tonight no way was he lazy,people need to stop fkin wingeing and get behind him a decent partnership developing with smith but needs time ,they have only been together a couple of games for christ sake,back off.
  15. there are a good few Latics on the Fylde coast that go to most home games ,it has been a good week to be blue in Blackpool after saturday. We sometimes meet up in The Bay Horse at Thornton to give Tony some greif about being a manure fan.
  16. fences where deffo up prior to the Sheff Weds riot as i can clearly remember trading punches through it with a yorkshire cock who spat at me at the corner by the broadway/ chaddy
  17. HOW COME I FOUND THIS TINY THING EASIER THAN THE BACK OF THE NET
  18. Deffo something i would be interested in
  19. mini shez ,carlo rocca christian colluso
  20. Both released by Fleetwood . Greegan to make way as Micky Mellon trys to build a younger team able to push for league2 ,Parker just doesnt fit into the patern of play that Fleetwood try to use . Not that he will be bothered as he is a very wealthy buisness man and doesnt need football.
