You must have been at different games to me then.

Yeah that's what I thought - wanted clarification. Bit pissed off to be honest.

I remember back around 1990ish, we'd driven down to Millwall away. Not far from the ground we were flagged down by a chap whose car had broken down - he'd spotted our scarves out the window, and asked if he could have a lift to the ground. Turned out to be Tony Bugby - was a really nice guy. As thanks for our help, got me and my brother signed photos of our favourite latics players at the time - Ian Marshall and Andy Barlow. Still got them somewhere.

Says on their site they have 2700 tickets. Is that the big end of the RRE or the small one?

Final game of first season back in the top flight. Man City at home. Think BFJ did something similar to a coin toss to decide whether to play Hallworth or Kiely - Kiely ended up in net. My friend (about 13 at the time) couldn't believe it, and said that if we lost he was never going again. We got battered and he threw his season ticket book on the pitch at the end, and hasn't been back since.

Quite a few 'Die Die Ricketts' in the RRE tonight - some after the 1st, a lot more after the 2nd And some guy shouting at Little Drummer Boy to 'shut the F***' up, when he was doing his boom-boom-boom thing (no-one singing) at 2-1 down.

Those archives are good! I don't even remember giving this interview: http://www.oldhamadvertiser.co.uk/news/s/4...blished_18_june

A few of us were chuckling last night as some were singing the Gregan song to Norm: "How many pies, Had Crossley had? How many pies had Crossley had? He had a w*nk in a chippy, How many pies had Crossley had?" Chinese whispers at it's finest I suspect.

Originally Royton, then 6 years in London, now Mossley.

Very disappointed last night - Brizzle were there for the taking and on another night we'd have won that game. First goal was a stupid one to concede. Lambert picks up the ball about 30 yards out, and everyone back off him! Why?! Then he shoots and Crossley gets nowhere near it - not like it was in the top corner or anything - looked very saveable from where we were stood. Second goal was bog standard flick on/tap in from corner - probably should have dealt with it, but hard to see who exactly was at fault. If we'd have scored at the start of the second half we'd have had a good chance of getting something. Ormerod would have scored if he'd made more contact with the ball rather than fluffing it. They nearly scored an own goal with a back header, and Reuben should have buried his header. Most of our threat came from the flanks. Balls through the middle tended to be to the head of Hughes/Ormerod and they didn't have much joy. With Allott/Whitaker not picking up many scraps outside the area it meant Brizzle could usually clear the danger with ease. I thought Eardley might come on for Whitaker playing centre mid, but he's obviously out of favour at the moment.

Wet? Yep Cold? Probably Contains alcohol? Yep Cheaper than usual? Yep Looks good to me!

Bit of a celebration tomorrow apparently, as they're reopening a stand. For as long as stocks last, we will be giving away lots of Blackthorn merchandise, which will include promotional t-shirts and baseball caps. And, to cap it all, we will be selling Blackthorn Cider at a special promotional price in the bars around the ground. <--- From the Rovers site I mailed an official at their club to see if away fans could get some of this cheap booze: We will allow away fans in the main Clubhouse bars for tomorrows game . This is where the promotions will be taking place ! Get there early it is very popular down here ! Woo hoo!

How many minutes will Thommo play before getting injured? My money is on 34.

Happy with that - much better than the Porter decision.

Booked mine in the Pop stand over the phone this afternoon - they'll post them out, but apparently won't sell to anyone with an Oldham postcode. Had to get my dad (lives near Scunny) to book them.

My bday is Sept 14th. Some highlights: winning 2-0 at Forest (12/09/06), dubbing Mansfield 6-1 (14/09/02), losing 3-2 at Hudders on a Friday night (13/09/96)

Haha - thanks for your input

Better off sending it to the football league maybe? I might mail Alan and see what he suggests.

I was quite surprised when he gave us a quick clap at full time too.

Towards the end, as Shotton (the mixed race centre back, #26) was trying to clear, he was getting a bit of grief from the blues to the left of the stand (as you looked at the pitch), "hooof" and all that. Promptly turned round to the crowd and gave us the 'v' - for a good few seconds. Stupid sod didn't realise there was a tv camera in that part of the stand, which *must* have caught it. Do we report it?

I love Shez's quote in the Chron: Ronnie is old enough and experienced enough to let it go over his head when people give him stick – if anything he’ll enjoy that side of the game. Comedy!

If anyone wants to draft something to publish on the Supporters Direct email list regarding this matter, feel free to PM me and I'll post it there.

2nd to Leicester

All we need to say:

Singing today: Oh Chrissy Taylor, You are the love of my life, Oh Chrissy Taylor, I'd let you shag my wife, Oh Chrissy Taylor, I love ginger hair tooooooo...
