A relegation fight is imminent.

If something as little as that can hold 6000 people, then really makes you wonder how big ours is going to be

Twice as big!

Location apart, the bottom line is that we SHOULD build a stadium with a capacity that suits the fanbase. We are not going to get crowds of 12,000 in this division.

As long as the facility is there to expand, should we attain and sustain promotion to the championship.

Even with a slight increase in attendance in a new stadium and increased revenue streams, we are not going to make enough money to acquire the standard of player to drag us out of this league. That may happen if the TTA make enough money out of the sale of the land at BP, but somehow, I don't think they'll be spending any of it on the club.

They will have a better chance of selling the club to someone with ambition if we are in a spanking stadium with good facilities and revenue potential.

With investment, ambition and support from the town and council alike, how can they go wrong?

270 mins of football 3 losses and no goals...We wouldn't score in a brothel!!!

 

I don't think bringing in a striker would make that much difference to this lot, If it wasn't for our defence we would be in the relegation mix........anybody worried cos I am!!!!!!

Disagree. I think a lethal or clinical finisher would make all the difference.

First of all, just to state, I love the club, have done the last 20 years and this is not intended as a putdown!

 

Is it me or is there just a massive negative bubble around the place, its affected me as i'm struggling to maintain any interest these days, squad is the most boring i can remember, the ground that i used to worship is now a joke, even the website does my tits in these days, always seems to be about the youth team or the B team. Now i think penney is an alright bloke but the place just seems empty at the moment, even the tta who saved the club seems to be always going on the offensive and having a go at the fans, who in turn have a go at the team when playing bad (which seems every wek!!), its just a vicious circle!!

 

I just dont feel the club belongs to us anymore!

 

Please could someone give me some positives to focus on or i'm in danger of falling out with football totally!!!!

 

**rant over**

Well, considering we've ended up with a team struggling to score goals, playing in a three-sided shed of a stadium, already relying on loan signings, a lengthy injury list, not enough pies to go round on a match day and a fickle public that won't support any form of improvement for sporting facilities, let alone support the club.

I think you've got every reason to be worried.

Btw, a club will only "belong" to a fan if that fan has got his heart in the club. Something that's hard to do at the moment.

The Boundary Park 'hoodoo' is well and truly set-in.

It's amazing...new management, new players...same old 'hoodoo'.

Maybe it is time to leave the place.

Lets hope we are not rushing him , original estimate was after christmas so this is very early

He's young and maybe the estimates were 'worst scenario', but it doesn't look as though he will be involved too much.

I just read the topic title there and thought for one minute you were asking me to perform an illicit act......to show how good leeds really are........hahahaha.....sorry just couldn't help myself.....

latics fan on gmr now lad called ian says "we should get rid of abbott "

You couldn't make it up, could you? Well done to the 'Tics today, we usually don't fare well at their place, although I think we have the edge overall.

Another clean sheet as well.

back to the drawing board for penney

Bob, we haven't even got a "drawing board" left. You only have to look at the subs bench to see how thin we are on the ground.

We are looking decidedly lightweight at the back, again.

What with Bashforth and co on the BP development and now Jim McMahon and co now, anyone would be forgiven for thinking that the town's Labour councillors are actively against any development and actually want the football club and the town as a whole to continue sliding into the economic abyss.

Spot on, that man! Oldham looks to be dying on it's feet and the councillors fiddle while the town burns!

I hope there's a Plan F or it's Goodbyeeeee.....

One woman said: “Instead of regeneration, this is going to be the degeneration of Failsworth.”

That's a bit drastic. The :censored: is hitting the fan and soon, it's going to start smelling.

Will Penney look for another loan striker or will Blackman deemed to be adequate cover?

'Chron

they had the full game commentary on 909 radio 5 live.

 

gregan was insulted. they said he needed to lose a few pounds.

 

very biased toward charlton. it was why are charlton not playing well and they need to do this and that.

 

not much credit was given to us.

Bugger! I wish I'd known!

Same ole, same ole. The Latics are not a fashionable team and the whole World and it's dog were probably expecting an easy match for Charlton.

Wardie.

Fantastic result, given the expectation of the Charlton fans and their home results so far.

Well done the lads.

Wardie.
