I challenge you lot to keep this going for at least 3 pages. Come on, time to put your best foot forward.

Wish I were there, especially given it's going to snow half a meter here tomorrow...

You was right you was.

I'm the first to admit I know fa about football, but I don't get all the talk about getting rid of someone who has had less than a season to put a team together. When Penney was signed I was surprised it was for only two years. I would think year one would be a complete scrapping and rebuilding year so crap results would be expected, year two you would hope to see some cohesion on the side and if things don't improve you begin to get concerned. For me it wouldn't be until year three or mid-year two at the earliest that I'd say this isn't working, we need a change. The worst thing that could happen to any club is to get stuck in the revolving door of a new coach ever one to two years. But that's just me, I haven't got as much skin in the game as most of you, it's just my two cents worth.

Its a must win game for Oldham tonight.

Oh come now. If this is a must win then so are all the others. I put it more in the category of a "Would be nice if we didn't piss all over ourselves" game.

I'm all for being the twelfth man. Remind me who the other eleven are?

Seriously, you're right. This is when a team needs its fans the most.

I live in Minnesota, USA. Earlier this week we were told that our local team the Minnesota Thunder (2nd division) has not renewed its charter with the league, lost its coach, it's club president and the club is in serious debt. Today we were told that all the players have been released. For all intents and purposes we've lost men's professional soccer in our state.

So to those who wonder why they should continue to go, consider the possible alternatives.

Wow, no one gets a chance any more do they?

Since there wasn't a "Hell Yes" button, I voted Yes.

I'm just going to enjoy this season I don't give a :censored: what happens win or lose have a booze.

+1

He'll come out on the plus side by not having to buy new hubcaps every three months.

It's terrible that it always takes sad news like this to appreciate what you have. Mine will be getting extra hugs tonight too.

No one should have to go through this. Thoughts and prayers with Andy and family.

I vote to call the new grounds Son of Boundary Park.

Or possibly Boundary Park II: The Wrath of Penney

And I realize I'm still new and have no history with the club, but I'm more interested in the product on the field and less interested in what it says on the kits.

For the right price, which no one would pay in this market. So we keep him.

Really, really well done!

Good luck all!

investment on stock markets = stadium funding or to perhaps look to sell the club to would be investors via his contacts.

Actually I think it's

give money to Wall Street guy = Latics Bake Sale Fundraiser

Pace yourself lads. We don't want you to peak in October.

Sounds like it was a fun match to watch.

Easy for me to say having never been to BP and not a likely trip in the future, but one of the things I love about football is how much it's rooted in tradition. I'd rather see BP updated over time than build somewhere else, and sharing a stadium just sounds wrong.

I'll admit, having never seen anything but the 08/09 kits (and the pink one), I've heard you all going on about tangerine and thought you were all insane. But now I see it, it doesn't look half bad. Of course, she doesn't hurt the eyes either...

Can't make him want to come back. Disappointed but far from gutted.

Bloke in suit = Doctor

 

Player in shorts and t-shirt = Wolfy

 

injured in June when doing NOTHING

 

Hey, playing FIFA on Wii isn't nothing!

Everyone else does, you don't want to be left out do you!?

I haven't moaned yet!

I haven't contributed anything meaningful either, but that's beside the point...

I'm only one season in, a couple more like this last one and I'll be bitching with the best of them.

You got me. I am a Bury fan from Kazakhstan.

Ok, he can stay.

Quality story (although as an American, I'm not sure whether thinking someone is the dog's bollix is good or not ).

I support my hometown throwball team but I live deep in rival territory. My 10 year old daughter got sick of being constantly harassed by her friends so she asked if she could like the other team too. I just said, "Sure honey, if you love them more than your daddy." Might not work with the boys but it sure worked in that case.
