another fan

On a semi-related note, I cannot understand why week in week out our fans applaud these pathetic away followings. Teams literally bringing numbers you could fit on a coach - most of which are probably family and friends of the 11 on the pitch.

 

Last night Bromley brought what 35 fans. They're second in the fucking league. They had 3,000 in at home at the weekend. It's laughable.

 

When we were in just L2 the paltry followings would be derided. What's changed to make these 'followings' worthy of acclaim?

I seem to recollect Frank asking the home fans to applaud the travelling away fans before a home game earlier this season stating that he and our supporters were made to feel welcome when they visited elsewhere

1 up Garner, can we close BP down and play every game away?

My take on this is that we should finish in a play off spot where all are games are away including Wembley

Not saying that City are doing in any favours now but they at one time in the past kept the Club alive in the pre " Three Amigos Era"

Next thing to be posted by a few of the dimwits complaining is that they want a refund on their season tickets because the football has not been too clever.

Bloody hell they could claim a fortune for the last few years

It isn't 1987, forecasters are generally on the ball with such matters these days...

By that logic we should be able to post matches the week before

Dare I ask "When will the draw for the next round be?

Reading your post suggests you know Barry well. Most people who despise him haven't ever met him. Much rubbish has been written however I know him personally and whilst a lot of venom has been directed towards him much of which might be true I can tell you all he loves O.A.F.C. He may be opinionated and made errors but he would give his last breath for the Latics. So everybody just chill and amuse yourselves with his tweets. He's no longer a director but he still loves the club.

I have met him. Some years ago I raised funds for "Playershare" by selling pin badges. I never got paid for them, I can only say as I find

If he was a true supporter he'd buy a season ticke

What ? Pay to  watch a match

I used to think that VAR was good for the game.That changed for me when the penalty decision was not overturned in the FA Cup game at Fulham. Nothing has caused me to change my mind

Such a shame he isn't going to be with us much longer.

His body language when he was substituted showed no sign of ill feelings towards Unsworth bearing in mind there may have been opportunity of his "first " hat trick for the Club

its not on there

Did you ever ring the news desk at the "Daily Express for the final score after a night match?

No sticker on my uncomfortable seat in the Main Stand but I genuinely hope that for the first time in many years I will be more interested in the product on the pitch than what my arse is parked on

To me a positive for the Club is the fact that it is getting some money off me for every match even though I will be unable to attend them all.

Win situation for the Club

My kids both getting one. Might not come to too many especially when it's proper oldham weather but can't grumble at 25 each

I had to wait until mine turned 16 before he became interested, Athletico mates at school?. If so good on them

Grandson had just turned up and due to having attended "a few" matches last season with the Athleticos has persuaded me to buy his first season ticket, a few hours before the early bird offer comes to an end

Success at last

Anyway, back to the Bromley game. Sounds like they rested a few players ahead of the playoffs so full credit to David and his charges for extending their unbeaten run against the Bromley B team...

I  seem to recollect at one time that I used to enjoy reading your comments, Cannot understand why you felt that you needed to make this one. Now next season may be another matter

I enjoyed yesterdays match and this thread until the Latin "shit" started. It has taken me back to my school days and was another one of my poor subjects

Or just make it two 30 min halves and clock stops when it's out of play. Zero point in trying any tricks then

Reminds me when I used to watch Manchester Storm / Phoenix. Spent a great deal of time watching  the clock countdown

Nice of them to let us know he’s been there a few weeks now 

In the scheme of things are people really bothered?

Despite comments to the contrary there is massive potential at this club with the right owner at the helm!!

Our ambition has been eroded year on year by poor decisions, poor recruitment, and poor leadership to such an extent that the bar has now been reset to a ridiculously low level.

 

Cambridge, Cheltenham, Morecambe, Forest Green and Newport have all performed exceedingly well and fully deserve to be challenging for promotion but they are all much smaller clubs than ourselves yet show that with the right management and infrastructure absolutely anything is possible!

 

I am 100% certain as a football club we should be challenging in the division above and still have the potential to reach the Championship.

 

I am also 100% certain that unfortunately under our current ownership we have absolutely no chance of realising that potential.

 

********ABDALLAH OUT********

Totally understand your feeling about the owner. I dont care a fxxk about who owns it but it need to be everything that is owned not just the brand.

 I also believe that they should take no part in the footballing side of a Club.

Pay the bills, keep a Club afloat and bask in any glory that may come there way. Unfortunately under the current regime they are getting involved. I would also love to know what their motives are
