I may have mis-interpretted your post here. Corney thinks that the improved facilities (which werent available in the old lookers) in the new stand will attract more punters. Furthermore, i bet the upkeep costs and essential maintenance of the lookers were getting close to whatever that stand could have pulled in money-wise.

Michael Rickets was a good one. Only on loan and he bagged against us. Shudder

Ex-players scoring against us. If i could face betting against Latics, I would put money on any player who has played for us scoring against us, no matter what position they played in. Typical Latics.

So i had to look up what "8 sheets to the wind" meant. It's a saying used when someone is always drunk and should be "3 sheets to the wind". When they used windmills they used an even number of sheets on the 4 sails depending on wind strength. Using an odd number would make the windmill unstable, wobble and risk falling over. Today I learned.

After a season like the one we've just had. This is a well timed thread

It looks like there is an extra block which makes it awkward to fit in OAFC. Are we going to do what we did with the chaddy and go OAAFC just so it fits? EDIT: Ignore that, the perspective at 1:24 looks like that is the case, but it actually works as there is another block at the end, clearer later on in the video.

Great animation. Good use of porn music

Sadly that makes too much sense for us to actually do it. It would be a really nice gesture to the fans after a difficult season football wise, but probably one of the best financially we've had for a while.

Awesome. Usually spend the duration of the Football League show flicking through trying to find just the Oldham goal.

You make the assumption that the country doesn't foolishly rely on anything too heavily. It does and has since the early 1700s.

I'd say he HAS to win tomorrow to have a chance of winning the fans over and keeping consolidation in league one a possibility.

"go big or go home" as they say.

Surprised how many people look out for the Grimsby score. I do too, got a soft spot for them as my mate i lived with in university supported them.

I may have missed something here. What happened to Dean Bousanis?

I didnt mean to sound so sincere, i was laughing as i was reading the thread

6 points from 18 is relegation form. If we only pick up 6 points then we're doomed. The re-arranged fixture against Preston is a must win.

But we are a professional football club and should have staff for specific roles, especially coaching. Its great that we have players (albeit Murray isnt expecting to play any time soon) that can coach and look after the affairs of training but to me, it feels like we are taking advantage of that in order to cut short term costs. If we get complacent with those savings then those short term cuts will become long term and we will depend on the players coaching themselves. Just wish i could trust Corney and not worry about it, but i dont.

They are taking the trolling to some next level where only the sarcastic elite can enter. Don't worry

I have to agree. I think Matt Smith is an excellent impact player and would rather bring him on than start him. Maybe he should be brought on at half time though instead of the 60 minute mark.

Great win tonight. Cant help but think TP has a better dress room aura than PD. However, we cant forget that TP distanced himself from the first team job not long ago and i think he has a real passion for coaching the youth team which i would really not like to lose. I hope he stays at the helm until the end of the season, then we get someone else in who is similar and willing to work closely with TP and the youth team and allow TP to go back to looking after the young uns. I get the feeling that the transition from the youth squad to the first/reserve team is a bit rocky so it would be nice if that could be sorted at the same time.

Can honestly say i dont miss it that much ;)

I miss standing

Sorry its taken me so long to get back to you all. Thanks very much for the help on this guys!

Proof of being a student = having a student card. Most (if not all) student cards have a photo and expiry date. Why not just show that on the gate/office and prove on the day? - Its what most clubs do.

Hey all, Just wondering how i go about contacting the club to see if they are willing to donate maybe a signed football or shirt (or similar) towards a charity event my friend (a vet nurse) is hosting at her work. The charity event is to help raise money to train guide dogs for the visually impaired, the local vet is having a garden party with all the usual trimmings (cakes, tombola, challenges) and something from the club would make a fantastic prize. I have all the official letters and proof of the event to send whomever i might need to get in touch with. Any help/feedback from someone who has contacted the club properly before would be greatly appreciated. Cheers Matthew
