  1. It boils down to cost - were skint so we have to go for the cheaper players - they are either young or old has beens. Whilst it is easy to write off the older generation, good headed players such as David Eyres can be found and can provide a calm head when things get tough. Late last season, it got tough and we lacked a big character to calm everybody in the dressing room down. Unfortunatly we've not been able to find such a player over summer for whatever reason but it doesn't mean that this group of lads can't gel together and thrive off the underdog situation that they find themselves in.

     

    I think we know the quality of Lee, Mvoto, Taylor, Furman and Morais so we can expect a solid season from these. The other signings also sound promising with Ciask, Diamond, Lund and Smith looking to gain something personally whilst at Latics. I think success/failure could bold down to luck this season, with injuries and suspensions it could mean us relying on our youthful inexperienced reserves to stand up and perform for the badge.

     

    One thing we can count on this season, Dickov and Taggart will make sure each player goes out onto the pitch with pride and passion - something when we was under Penney we all asked for. It will be an interesting season, great local derbies and hopefully a good cup run :pray:

    Well said.

     

    I think the season ahead is going to be very good and entertaining. I really can't predict where we will finish because it's such a close call at the moment with so many good teams in the league.

  2. +1

     

    Some of the people on here just refused to be pleased about anything....

     

    We've been in a position where it looked like we may have no ground at all and have to groundshare - and we all know that if we'd gone down that road, we'd have had no stadium, and no plans for a new one. Basically - we weren't too far off seeing the beginning of the end for OAFC.

     

    We now have an opportunity to redevelop OUR home and try to increase revenue which in turn will help to try and propel the club forward.

     

    Me? I'm not fussed about Blitz/Gazal and whether they are in or out....all i want is a self sufficient club which, if necessary, could attract investors to either join corney or take over from him. It looks like we may be getting somewhere near this - and hopefully there won't be any more hurdles in future.

     

    Last season, the stadium at failsworth fell through, and i don't care what anybody else thinks - that moment is when our season on the pitch started to fall apart. Surley news like this should keep us all happy and make us look forward to this season and many seasons ahead at BP - if we look forward to it and get behind the XI on the pitch - who knows what might happen

     

    Cut the moaning guys - get behind the club for 2011/12 and the future - one we serisouly looked like not having.

     

    Well said pal.

  3. I think we have to acknowledge that to stay in Oldham, we were never ever going to get a rosy deal. I think to start developing in a year we have done well, considering we have no plans afoot yet. And bare in mind, with a new Lookers, if the next development is on the current main stand the ground doesn't look too shabby. RRE just needing a little aesthetic work, and the Chaddy isn't that bad I don't think. Important thing is revenue, I don't think it was ever plausible that full blue prints, contracts and work could begin straight away - Would almost certainly have resulted in rash decisions, one the club can't afford to take on such a big project.

     

    This is good news, just think had it not been approved how much worse the situation could be right now. This gives the club a future, something we might not have otherwise had.

     

     

    Well said.
