  1. I've head several people say this, but what I can't quite grasp, is how people assume that our players are suddenly going to find their scoring touch in March when it's been sorely lacking all season. Time after time we're saying the same things "we played quite well, but couldn't find the net" why will that suddenly change against the lower teams? We should have had at least 2 points from the last three games; possibly even 4, but yet again, we can't find the net.

     

    If we win even half of the games in March, I'll be very surprised. I just cannot see it happening.

    Good call.

    I can see a lot of 0-0 scorelines coming up when we play the rest of the "canon fodder" around us.

    Mind you, some of them seem able to score a few goals, Stockport managed four today.

  2. All gone quiet at the council? What's new? The council should be actively talking to the club when the charity commission came out with their findings so far. It's beginning to look like another huge cockup from Oldham MBC.

     

    It's not going to happen again? Isn't it?

    It's the one thing you can rely on with this club at the moment.

  3. Same old :censored:e from someone who grew up watching Oldham on the rise and now cant handle the fact we are a league 1 team.

     

    That doesnt mean things are good at the moment, just not as bad as some make out.

    30 years ago, we were in Div 2, it wasn't until 90/91 that we got promoted...so he didn't exactly start when we were "on the rise". In fact, if you count the "Pinch Me Season", promotion and three short years in the top flight, then 5 out of 30 years ain't much to write home about.

     

    He's right, the stadium is a three-sided :censored: hole, where you can't have a pint or a ciggie and you may as well have to reserve a pie to ensure you get one at H/T, because the penny pinching means it's better to order too little than too much.

     

    Why the :censored: should we be expected to shell out £20.00 to sit in a badly facilitated ground and watch the current dross on offer? Obviously, plenty of fans are asking themselves that very question and are voting with their feet.

     

    You tell yourself that things aren't that bad if you want to, but they are. The TTA don't have the finances to deliver the dream at BP, the council haven't got the resources to help out local sport and the town of Oldham, in the light of other towns in the Northwest, is fast becoming a deprived area.

  4. With £56 million?

     

    Sort out the family. £3 million

    Investment. £2 million

    Apartment in Boston. £1 million

    New house. £1 million

    New cars. £250k

    Pay of kids' student loans. £30k

    Set up fund for Save the Children. £200k

    Invest in the Latics. £2 million

     

    Leaves about £46.5 million to mess around with. :grin:

     

    Is it possible to blow that amount? I suppose it is.

  5. Very Derren Brown-esque.

     

    You're suggesting that moving to Failsworth is a guarantee that we'll become good.

     

    No, but it give's the club a fighting chance at survival.

    If it has a positive effect on attendance and finances, then maybe we can cobble a decent team together in the not too distant future.

     

    It's called 'Synergy' and I think it's our only available option.
