RoytonLatics

I always thought our tickets were a bit too steep, but this really puts it into perspective, but i'm still calling for a £10 standing section in the new ground.

Why can't Latics have one of these type of clubhouse at the new ground??

True but it would hardly be inspiring, lots of non descript English teams of the like's of Hereford, Wycome and Hartlepool.... The only teams that would get the chance to visit.

Will you ever

will you ever

will you ever find a seat

will you ever find a seat....

We seem to have alot of them in the youth/reserve team these days, are they any good or are they just Liverpool cast off's?

I propose the Moon using the basis of RoytonLatics, I sort of know where it is but I'm sure someone mentioned it.

Mate i'm only trying to put some ideas out there, instead of writing Bulls**t why not actually offer some form of positive criticism or even better an idea as to were the new ground could be built.

We've not won at home for over 6 months. You'd need the patience of a saint or the happyclappyness of a hari krishna* to not moan and groan about the results. I'm not some "super fan", nor am I an uber keyboard supporter who racks up thousands of posts but never goes to the home games. I pay three hundred and odd quid a season to watch us, and I've not seen us win in 6 months. I show my frustration and complain about it on here, I do the same when I'm at home, at work, in the pub and when frustrated, I complain at the games. Positivity will come with wins, and without them, keyboard calls for unity asking a decreasing number of us regular home goers to get behind the team like a load of naive school kids is falling in deaf ears as far as I'm concerned.

 

Support your club through thick and thin? Blimey, how much thinner do you want it? I'm taking my 7 year old step son to his 8/9th game, and hes not seen us win yet, not because hes a jinx, just the fact that we hardly ever win at home.

 

Win tomorrow and our play off push is back on by the way.

"keyboard calls for unity asking a decreasing number of us regular home goers" What people like me, I have had a season ticket since the days of Graham Sharp and spent countless amounts of money going to away games too. All I am saying is why cant we go into home games the way the team is supported at away games, then maybe we would have won a few more home games in the past 6 months. This season is a fresh start, new management and a new team they should at least deserve a chance to prove themselves and considering that we are a mid table team at best this season, I don't think the start has been to bad.

Back to the subject of the ground, What about coal pit lane (I have no idea were this is but people keep mentioning it) also I have herd Alexandra retail park mentioned. I think this is an excellent site, Matalan and the other shop can easily be moved into the spindles which is half empty anyway, leaving bags of room for development. It would be directly in the center of town which means real Oldhamers can use the proposed facilities that are to be built benefiting the whole community not just the plastic mancs on the outskirts. Also this site would have excellent road access with the bypass, while the train/metro line runs directly along the side of the site and would bring much needed development to this part of town and lets face it Oldham town center needs just as much if not more regeneration as Failsworth.

Oh boy, that was definitely the cute little bald one. And I believe I have a crush on Simon Corney.

Ha ha, you must be short on men over in America...

We could try supporting the f*cking team.

 

Those who do nothing but sit and moan and/or hurl abuse from the stands at Boundary Park should get themselves to a few away games and learn a few things from our fantastic away following.

Here, here!

I'm not against a move, just concerned about a move to failsworth!

Some of my pictures of Oldham to whet your appetite:

Why isn't there a picture of the blue plaque depicting the story of the first fried chip? Surely Oldham's greatest ever addition to modern world history...

what do you suggest?

As a wise man once said "patience is a virtue"

Is it just me or is any one else sick of the moaners an groaners that congregate around our club, maybe if people actually remembered the true meaning of the word "supporter" we might start to see glimpses of improvements from the team. Its only a few games in, and I don't really consider it to be a very bad start, I didn't really have high expectations for this season anyway, this is the season in which a new team and new management need time to gel, and they need our support and encouragement through thick and thin. So come on people lets try an do something about the situation its been going on for to many years now and gradually seems to get worse season on season.

I don't really no how big 30acres is, but what about clayton playing fields, surely you could squeeze a ground on there with extra pitches joined on???

6'5''! Can you play centre half??

Ha ha, that would be a good one, if only it were to come true. Think I may ask DP for a trial, Im faster that Gregan an Hazel thats for sure.

-Standing section charging £10. And that can easily be turned into seating on promotion to premiership/championship

-smoking section around back of stand, clearly marked "smoking area" so that even the thickest of none smokers can know were not to go

-Maybe have images of glorious moments/heroes from boundary park placed in certain areas of the new stadium

-more leg room in the seating area, im 6"5 and BP is awful to sit in.
