  1. Seems even their own official MK Dons website is confused, the match report has the following team Then you pan over to the Match Information section and the Line Ups and they contradict themselves It is all very confusing for sure
  2. Yes go into Club SHop for the Boundary Blues season tickets
  3. Interesting indeed Bluebuck. Smells a little bit still unsure if all this was going on for the past few weeks what all the groundshare stuff was about; unless Failsworth Dyanmo are the other groundsharing club Not sure Rochdale would ever have been happy about shifting to Failsworth
  4. Financing a new stadium - where is this cash coming from; the sale of the current BP site to whom? As the Mr Blitz states property prices have crashed so whom is going to want the BP site in the current market?
  5. Well I know I have achieved success at last in brainwashing my children. It has taken me 8 years of bombarding my eldest boy with Latics, but I feel it was worth the effort as today the lad made my day. After a days slog at the office, the first thing my 8 year old son tells me is "Dad I have to do a project for school". Which means dad I need you help doing this project; oh I retort, is it plants again or dinosaurs. However to my surprise the little cherubs have been given carte blanche to create a project of their own. The little fella then brightens my day up and I know the hard work has finally paid off when he chirrups "dad I know what I am doing - I am doing my project on Oldham Athletic". Job done I am looking forward to his project now
  6. You are obviously very easily pleased if you think he is a legend. The man is an arrogant, bullying piss head if you look up to such a man then you have low standards indeed.
  7. Not even close to legend status. He symbolises everything wrong with the Latics this season, his off the field antics have had a detrimental affect on both the team and his individual performances. His ability as a captain are very questionable with his ability to blame everybody bar himself. Admittedly on his day he could be immense when he was dealing with big strikers and had to head the ball, he had composure on the ball also. However his lack of pace cost us goals many times this season. I for one am glad he has gone and would have been disappointed if Penney kept him
  8. It was indoctrinated into my kids at an early age, now they are 8 and 6 my work is done - they are latics through and through and the bonus of hating ManUre also. My eldest has to be Oldham on FIFA 09 - obviously I have to let him beat me Now I am working on my nephews, a much harder task as they don't get much influence from their parents, but they know their Uncles allegiance and hopefully I can use many forms of persuasion/blackmail and the promise of sweets if they come to BP to make sure I have that positive influence.
  9. You have to use the Oldham E-zine messageboard really to get the full effect of e-mail from Alan Hardy to Kingibby
  10. Spread the word as much as possible, viral e-mail campaigns - send it to all members on this board for a starters. Use Facebook etc etc to spread the word. To drag people back without knowing the manager is difficult, let alone any players whom have dragged the clubs name through the mud. The club needs a feel good factor to stir the blood in the old ST holders; any adverts/flyers/posters etc need to pitch it properly. Maybe the club can go a step further with another set amount off if STs reach 6k - aim big Flyers in schools, the kids can take them home to their parents in schools throught the borough - get the council onboard
  11. I think Joe Royles appointment has galvanised the supporters once again. The lasr few weeks had split the supporters into the two very vocal opposing camps; personally I had lost the belief in Mr Sheridan being the man for the job and taking this club onward and upward. If nothing else Oldham Atheltic has been very much in the news over the recent weeks with the Pink Shirts, Whinge-arse blog; the dogs and now Joe Royle returning to the club after 15 years. Not dull anyway, at least the news worthy Oldham Athletic has hopefully ended on a high and let that be the end of it now until Joe leads us to the Championship. I believe that even the worst moaners will have had their emotions stirred enough by Big Joes appointment to keep their mouths shut for longer than normal when they want to moan. I hope the players feel as enthused as the supporters do; I am sure the younger lads, especially Chris Taylor, will have that same feeling with a legend returning to the club and knowing they can now be part of a famous times rather than infamous times. It was a downward spiral with John Sheridan in charge and once the rot had set in it would have been very difficult to remove and things would have got worse and more bitter - not good for the manager, players or more importantly the club. This is about the club not one person and in the end as much as people liked John Sheridan as a man/player far too many did not like him as a manager for their own reasons. Joe coming back has lifted the dark clouds, just seeing him on the news or listenting to him on the radio has inspired the fans again. If nothing else that is a step in the right direction for a brighter future no matter what happens this season. The future, well that is something else and maybe not soemthing we should worry aobut right now, maybe we should just enjoy the moment and what will hoepfully turn out to be an exciting final run in to the end of the season. I have advocated previously a director of football to help John Sheridan and though that Joe would be the man; maybe he would not want that and would want to be the manager still. I think John Sheridan needed the guiding hand of experience, it was soemthing that wasn't there with his right hand men being Tommy and Dux - nothing against them but no experience between them in managing. After this Joe should hopefully play some part in the club, whether it be as manager or director of football, the man is Oldham Athletic, the fans love him and right now he has brought light where there was darkness and we are all smiling once again and showing a united harmonius front.
  12. Taylor in the squad in the vain hope. Also telling is that Windass isn't in the squad - is it dummy out time again?
  13. One Night Only - Pink Lizards Geek In The pInk - Jason Mraz Cherry Pink & Apple Blossom White - My Love is Pink - Sugababes Think Pink - Barbie Your a Pink Toothbrush - Max Bygraves
  14. Allott for me any day - he was everywhere yesterday. Windass, nah for me played a few good passes but was ambling through most of the game
  15. If you wanted him back then why would you cup tie your striker? You wouldn't unless you werent going to to be the FA Cup long enough for it to matter or you aren't going to be bringing him back to the club for him to play in the cup with you anyway. O'Grady wasnt allowed to play in the FA Cup, so why was Davies if you wanted to bring him back? Doesn't take any inside knowledge to figure that one out
  16. Davies was off permanently once he was given permission to play in the FA Cup, he won't be back in a Latics shirt now.

    MOTM Vs. Yeovil

    Sheesh how can anyone have voted for hughes he was impotent upfront - offered nothing other than petulance
  18. My son has won tickets As he is only 5 it was a big surprise for him - andnot all of them, they had a draw to get them in school - dunno how many tickets for his school but at least 5 lots of 4 tickets. Though this does mean I won't bein the Chaddy End - I Checked with the CLub and they stated that the will have a word with the turnstile Operatives to let people in with tickets for other parts of the ground if there is room Get more kids interested in Latics - that said my kids don't have a choice and have been brainwashed already Managing to drag some so called Man U fans along as well - see if I can get some more converts. These schemes do get kids supporting the club - it worked with me when I got some freebies many moons ago from school
  19. Derek your an idiot - I dont say that lightly and I dont usually slag others off - but lets be honest u obviously want to get a rise out of people on this matter for you own sad reasons. Technology has a lot to answer for sometimes when it gives a voice to the clinically insane
  20. I thought Matt Murray was injured - no way he wouldnt be playing if he wasnt for wolvo - my wolvo mate things hes the dogs dangly bits
  21. Come on dont show yourself up to be an idiot, by stating such nonsense you are turning the whole argument into something else and not somewhere any of us want to go. Well OAFC-OK you are very lucky as I have a long list of those whom havent replied to me, including messrs Bashforth, Larkin, Pendlebury, Wheeler and Iqbal from the infamous 7. Then to my subsequent scatter gun email to all the councillors and MPs - I have had no reply from any of the 7 bar Wheeler and a whole heap of other ones either. So please behave and don't try and being into question peoples grasp of the English language no matter what race, creed or colour they maybe as this argument is nothing to do with that it about the football club and moving it into the 21st century andthe benefits this provides to whole town.
  22. I dont know about unlucky (well outside of their penalty) we missed shed loads of chances, Hughes the main culpirt, but aided in the missed chances stakes by Davies, Taylor and McDonald - we shud have buried Donny so that decision wouldnt have mattered.
  23. Better doing something than nothing surely, then moaning about things when they don't go right! Frankly it's the planning committee that have backed themselves into a corner, but by the application (slightly varied) being resubmitted they are getting a chance to escape from said corner and do the right thing and not for short sighted, selfish reasons. The more they think the consensus is against them, then the better it is - this is democracy in action
  24. K Inspiral, PM'd you my number - hopefully we get a positive outcome and I can drink a few beers to celebrate in Athens
  25. Mine was a little longer from my Waterhead ward councillor - don' think i can leave it there though
