  1. Under no circumstances should fans be let anywhere near the running of football clubs in this country. Just read twitter if you have any doubts.
  2. So in a nutshell: the minority of football fans are flighty, inconsistent cretins.
  3. Where tongue in cheek becomes foot in mouth.
  4. Realistically, what on Earth will change so drastically, so quickly, for him to be able to progress next season? My view? We're lacking in most departments, key pieces will have to be brought in across the board. Batten down the hatches, we're in for more of the same.
  5. Success in terms of getting people into the ground for these historically poorly-attended fixtures. Failure due to the fact it probably lost revenue within that time. Failure regarding the results which is the main ingredient in retaining those extra fans for the future. March Madness: The measure of its success | Pine Villains http://bit.ly/GYTGwb
  6. Thinking about this yesterday, bull:censored: aside, this period might go down as 'half a job' under the circumstances. In otherwise unimportant home matches(unless you've already decided that we're going through a survival battle then yes, they're pretty important) with far-flung teams that would probably attract attendances between 2800 - 3200, Latics have managed to boost crowds and increase their visibility for this discount period. Okay, it looks like in-ground catering have dropped the ball and somebody in commerce should be monitoring that, and kicking arses with the fallout; that aside March Madness has done its job. Hasn't it? The thing is, I'm reckoning that the March Madness promotion is a two phase program: increase visibility during this period, and attract these fans back at full price after the discount has ended. Phase one is done, so what about phase two? Unfortunately, Dickov's boys have played like a load of washerwomen at home in what now is becoming a running joke: frustratingly for Corney (Grimsby aside) lacklustre performances and cut price tickets go hand-in-hand at Latics. However, the real measure of its success will be scrutinised after March Madness, luckily Charlton and Preston will probably fill out the RRE, Carlisle maybe less so, although there will be a lot of eyes on the home attendance figure. The tonic will be back-to-back home wins. Let's see what happens on the field against, Bournemouth and Orient. Oldham expects.
  7. Well, once there was this 'Oldham fan' who walked about 500yrds for charity and left all his friends to do the charity event on their own. He then offered folks out through the internets, had a hissy-fit and turned lazer blue to piss off some fans. Those fans couldn't give a monkeys forehead what he did with his life and ignored him. Feeling left out and at a low ebb, he decided to return to being an Oldham 'fan' because he's got no real friends left. The end.
  8. ...hits Corney on the head; his eyes spin wildy for a moment before both slowing. *clunk* BAR *clunk* another BAR! Simon does a little jig, plays a tune on a recorder, and immediately starts :censored:ting out gold coins. 'I've won!' shouts Cisak, 'I've :censored:ing won!'
  9. I'd try to emulate this feat next season however I fear that my wife would leave me, the kids would be taken away, I'd lose my job and my friend (yes, in the end there would be only one, a sock puppet called Alan) would think I'm queer. :censored:, I'll vote for you though!
  10. What has Hardy's illness got to do with it? The implication is simply that Owen may well have favoured the opportunity to take a salaried position on the board, without having to be the voice of the minions and not that he was specifically eyeing Hardy's job and certainly not that he was wishing his illness upon him, if that's what you're trying to suggest.

  12. Damn, soooooorrrry. What am I like! Tsk, jeez! The pointer just went over the - button. Don't worry, it does it all the time.
  13. Feeney! You're in! Joke votes cast by PlayItLivo, Lookers_Carl, Tommy_Fent, oldhamal, oafcshuck, and futchers briefs. Monty still doesn't get it. Anyway, next on the agenda: Moody? Check. Jock? Check. Brush with the law? Check. :censored:e? Check. That's right, it's Allan Smart! Smart, born 8th July 1974 joined Latics from Watford in November 2001 for a whopping £225,000. His stats recorded 24 games for Oldham , finding the onion bag 7 times (soccerbase). After all sorts of shenanigans, he left for Dundee Utd after only 7 months for a free in June 2002.
