ian in hobart

The Midlands' pickle would be from Branston, Burton-on-Trent (birthplace of Craig Davies), where there is a nice golf course if you're thinking of visiting, although it's a fair way from Oldham.

I'd like to join in this joke-a-thon, but having been out on the p1ss i'm feeling a bit in the rough so i'm bunkered.......

Welcome to OWTB, Ian.

i find it quite difficult to attend either home or away games for obvious reasons-how about you in galashiels-still a bit of a trek?

You mean 3-3?

whatever...

I apologise on behalf of the aged expat - too much ale I think!

 

Anyway - you started going well before '71 - I remember you coming home telling me about beating Scarborough 9-nil in the Third Div North!

no you're dreaming-we were firmly anchored at the bottom end of the 4th division when i went with jez wellock and his dad-i can remember a night game against grimsby in the p*ssing rain as one of my first games at ice station zebra.

up to going to watch latics i used to go and watch celtic at bower fold, the main atraction there being the free pies halfway through the second half when the canteen staff decided they'd brought too many to sell!

Hi Ian. It seems that more Oldhamers have been transported than we knew about, we might have to set up an Aussie branch! Tell us a little bit about yourself and you'll be given access to all the boards when an Admin swings by

Just found this fantastic forum-i've been starved of Latics-related stuff for too long downunder in Hobart-looking forwards to reading all the news/gossip/opinions.
