It’s up to the club to fix it. Nowt to do with the OEC. Gutted - I’d be astounded if this wasn’t done by some fuckwit thinking this would ‘send a message’ to the FLG.

Please explain the bit of mystery? We all seem to know who they are when expressing our views on them.

I know who BB is but as for the masked men behind FLG...as Manuel said.....”I know nothing”.

 

 

Well a fair few Latics fans know 1-3 of the FLG very well....

Not sure anyone knows AL/ML very well....

We got them for next to nothing first half of the season. We paid a shitload for them when Lemmy went in and personally negotiated extensions

But don’t let that get in the way of an agenda...

I think that if we found a quality striker of our own, he would probably be sold after a season or so, thus breaking the longed for continuity.

We need a mediocre one then.

Catching up the posts it still seems some are still backing the as yet anonymous FLG  to carry on fragmenting the ownership of the ground? 

AL team + BB ground

vs

AL team + FLG ground

= more fragmented....

Thought today’s performance was much much better than I’ve seen / heard since the start pre-season. Some promising signings, and a deserved win....although Liverpool were shocking at the back. 

There was something on Twitter from Jenni Snoddy (superfan off of scoreboard-gate) yesterday saying they’d not heard anything at all about their 100 club seats which they had renewed either.

That's a joke right?

 

I'm really hoping that's not true, or else the farce that is the club will have reached a new level.

Well it sounded like we were worse after that half time team talk...

Loved BTB and the old drawings ...wish we had one now ...would it make better reading ? With all those that are ITK ... 

I think Twitter is the new BTB to be honest. If you can find the humour and satire amongst all the illiterate ramblings.

BTB was excellent. I enjoyed reading it when I didn’t even understand the nuances / know who any of the players were .

We've changed our name this season to Oldham Athletic Nil

That’s our quiz team name (and has been for about 5 years)

At least this came in.

How was it:
a) compared to expectations?
b) compared to FGR away last season?

b) away last year it was the most awful game. The first half today at least sounded like we were on top. It still sounded very dull though. Although that could’ve been the commentary. I miss Gordon. And Sam.

Another first day defeat always the same. Need attacking players in quick !!!!

If Nepo (our best attacking chance) had started, Wilson might’ve had a chance.

As shite as it is, isn't it part of the T&Cs around purchasing a season ticket that you can be moved to a different part of the ground? Certainly when buying one for the North Stand initially, we didn't get to actually sit in it but weren't offered a cash alternative.

Didn’t we get to pay for the new stand but at RRE prices with the expectation we were committing to the new stand but at a lower price for the inconvenience of sitting elsewhere for x number of games? (When there was a difference in price between stands).

It’s all fucking pathetic, from both sides. Money ruins the game. 

And so do mental megalomaniacs.

I go to watch football not to sit in a stand. If my ticket was changed to another team I'd prob ask for a refund 

 

Except it’s not as simple as that. It’s a clear declaration of having no intention of negotiating or forms if a relationship with the FLG. Now that’s petty. He’s a very stubborn and stupid man. If we’d not got a refund for our north stand ticket renewals earlier than now, we’d certainly take this as a sign of war rather than collaboration with people who have tried to negotiate - and would not simply ‘happily’ change to another stand. 

It’s much more more symbolic and important than that.

Builder and the two Simon’s like the Fleetwood signing of Clarke.... but have all thus far ignored the tweet announcing signing of Wheater. 

 

’fan’ led group. 

 

Petty. 

Because they personally know and like Clarke and are glad he’s got a deal sorted, but don’t know Wheater from Adam?

And yes, they are fans leading a group... Fan. Led. Group.

I don't get your point, people are saying betting on Forest Green is a win-win situation when in my opinion it's not as you can't win at all!

The point is it's win-win. If your bet wins, your bet wins = win. If it doesn't win, it means Latics have picked up 1/3 points = win.

How you can back against in my view is unthinkable. 

If you're (in general) betting to make money, you clearly can't afford to lose it. On that basis deep down come Saturday you'd be wanting Forest Green to win and I could never support against the club.

If we win, I've lost X amount. If we lose. We've lost. It's a no win situation. 

Very ‘glass half-full’ attitude. It’s also win-win.

Some people seem determined to give the owner the benefit of the doubt so only fair to accentuate the positives.  These are what I can come up with off the top of my head. 

 

1. Renaming and putting signage up on the North Stand to recognise Joe Royle.

2. Putting signage up on the RRE to recognise Jimmy Frizzell

3. Free scarves for season ticket holders last season.

 

Others?

I was right behind him to begin with as he appeared to start his tenure by weeding out the dickheads and bad influences - Byrne, Gerrard, Davies.

I hope that rumour carries water if the poor lad now gets a load of shit for it.

 

You know what some of our lot can be like when somebody gets something they didn't get, especially when it was free... 

Well I’d hope nobody is ridiculous enough to be abusive to a 13 year old boy on social media.

Who are the Vloggers

Rhys Parsons is one. He’s about 13 (?). He vlogs and was in Morocco. Heard a rumour on Saturday that he and his family were ‘invited’ to Morocco (paid for).
