when robbie arrived from huddersfield, most people agreed he was a class apart from anything we had, a player good enough for the championship. Everyone wanted him signed up asap. Now, after a few months of dickov`s managerial skills he is a shell of the player we first signed, falls too easily, always arguing with the ref etc. played on the wing, in midfield, up-top as a striker, when we all know his role is "in the hole". It really doesn`t matter who we sign as once PD instills his way of playing on them, they will just end up mediocre. Take wabara, was a superb attacking full-back when we signed him, if we sign baxter on a 2 year deal, this time next year who is to say he won`t be another robbie simpson, he would probably end up as another defensive midfielder. SC needs to act now before its too late, give the new manager time to stamp his authority on the players. If we lose to bournemouth, donny and hartlepool and donny in the cup people will say we should heve got rid earlier. enough is enough now, PD has had more than enough time and we are going nowhere fast, apart from division 2 that is.

Chin up guys, we're a full 1 point above the relegation places.

Too much negativity, don't forget we have won a couple this season.

So he believes he and the team should get more credit for winning 5 games out of 18? He is living in cuckoo land.

According to chron, corney calls Tuesday nights performance as "gutless tripe"

Next six games are pivotal, cup game is massive and looking at the league fixtures we have the dippers, Bournemouth and Donny which won't be easy, Hartlepool who are on a dreadful run so we know what's gonna happen there, and a " home banker" v shrewsbury.

We have Baxter and Derbyshire and we are three points above the relegation zone, God help us if they both leave in January.

Simon corney announces half time bonfire has been arranged for tomorrow nights match with bury.

Doesn't work for me

At least the capacity is going up not down.

ATHLETIC chairman Simon Corney still hopes to build the club's new North Stand in time for next season.

Amendments have been made to the planning application to make the capacity slightly bigger than the originally-mooted 3,000 and the hope is that work will start early in the New Year

Quote from todays chron.

Big Jim needs a good few years to bring this town back from the dead, he's heading in the right direction though. me and the missus don't usually vote, but will do now.

this from oldham advertiser - new stand still on track to be built in time for the new season, could be bigger than first expected, ammendments being made to the planning application, which could be built in france and transported across the channel. according to corney "planning application has gone in but we are making a few ammendments to make it slightly bigger" in talks with a french company who say if latics work with them, they would have it ready for the new season. also says not to expect baxter to be here beyond christmas, but will do everything he can to keep him here.

 

At the risk of repeating myself, it hasn;r been submitted yet.

Corney confirmed on 11th October that planning application had been submitted to the council.

So, at the beginning of July the club were hoping to submit planning application within 4-6 Weeks. Considering we are now at around 14+ Weeks am I the only one who is worried that things aren't going to plan?

The cinema complex in the old town hall has been given the go-ahead, I'm sure the new stand application was submitted before the cinema was. Feeling less optimistic about this the longer it takes.

The guy is loaded, after he "retired" at united he could easily have come to Oldham, he could have played for us for free and it wouldn't have affected his bank balance. He might be a bit of a fan but I think his heart is at united. to all that post on here, if you were in his shoes and were a lifelong latics fan, you would have done everything possible to play for your beloved club, especially if you were financially secure. The money wouldn't have mattered, it would be the feeling of putting on the latics shirt at bp.

And on the bright side, Zoko no longer plays for Carlisle. A win tomorrow followed by at least a draw v Crawley, win the fa cup tie and we "might" get a decent crowd v bury.

Ree ming, I wonder if the Chinese guy/girl who thought the name up, knew what the term meant in English.

We made them look ordinary, a point was the least we deserved. The only time we looked in trouble was when we stopped playing our passing game. Its been said before but I'll say it again, get Baxter signed up on a longer contract asap. Credit PD , he said we were gonna have a go at them and we did. Well Done to the lads, great effort.

Thnx for all that beag, let's hope the rest of October is memorable- latics go on winning run + planning application comes through.

According to chron, corney confirms planning application has been submitted to council.

He also confirmed a planning application for the new North Stand has been submitted to Oldham Council

"It's down to us and the council to finish things off, but we are nearly there," the chairman added.

Thnx beag.
