Keepingthe Faith

Maybe a free adult 'CARER' ST could be obtained from the club on a pro-rata basis to the kids tickets. In the same way they provide a Disabled carer free ticket. If you are able to get the club involved in this?

There's a 'Bob's your Uncle' gag somewhere!

Another idea could be local junior football teams where a Coach/Manager could take the kids from their team. So ensuring the tickets actually do get used.

I know 3D Dynamoes and Chadderton FC have taken kids to games in the past, If anyone knows anyone running a team from their locality?

Interesting the post above offering to buy a season ticket for a kid - I was thinking, if there is still loads of seats left before the season starts I would be happy to throw in a tenner to buy a season ticket for someone under 16, maybe if a few others would do the same we could boost attendances even further and add to out future support? Not sure if the club agrees to let people buy the £10 season tickets for other people though.

 

£10 is only 3 drinks down the pub, you think we could start a fund to get some extra tickets for kids?

Pretty sure I read about someone donating £100 for 10 ST's To be donated by Latics to a local school, with the Headmaster ensuring they went to Latics fans.

Honest Gaffer I saw KMB with the kitbag!

(Allegedly)

There can be only one.

Hope he's got his head straight.

 

If he has, good call.

 

Dickov seems to like his waifs and strays.

Haha

Not a sarcastic post.

We do seem to have some Technology pros and Techy minded posters on here. As anyone actually approached the club to help or even complained about the site?

If so any response?

Last couple of paragraphs of that OS story sound good.

Dickov added he has a couple of transfer targets in mind to complete his squad in readiness for the start of the season.

"They are really good players and we will have to see what can be done this week," he explained.

1 cant get it up , 2 what doe sit say , 3 unless im totally missing the point and this is a scarcastic thread.

Ok one question at a time.

1 See your Doctor pills are now available

2 M

3 No

If we had a board that knew how to take advantage of a publicity stunt opportunity then, by next week, Usain Bolt could be the fastest ever Latics player...

 

Typical board lacking ambition.

Usain is actually on record as saying he would like to play football when he retires from athletics!

The West Inddies missed out on one hell of an opening bowling attack with Bolt and Blake.

Batting - hitting the ball towards the boundary and running 12

With a ball it would be Paul Warhurst. Without it's just runnin.

IF true, I hope there is no back me or sack me type ultimatum! Wouldn't come to that though, surely?

Tarky can only come on massively from last season if he is played.

No point having 3 people competing for RB spot when other areas need improving more. We've got 3 players who can play RB at moment in Bryne, Brown and Winchester if needed to. That's enough to cover for injuries and suspensions in that area for now.

I think we look solid at the back, Mvoto seems to relish the role of leader in the CB,s and seems to make more mistakes at the back when feels he can relax a little as the junior partner. I would stay as we are. Thus also breaking the catch 22 situation of Tarky needing and getting vital experience at our level

I don't think we will come up against too many League 1 attacks that we can't handle.

As for the attacking option on the right, the ball to Croft can also come from the MF, Croft who will have the beating of most LB in our division, so much so most teams will double up on him and limit their own attacking options down a wing that we have been very vulnerable on up-to now!

i was just makeing sugestons mate i do think simpson is tons better up top or just behind the striker but do you think simpson could be that target man with work in training? hes got the footballing brain and hes been in good form this pre seasson i wouldnt put it past simpson getting 10+ this seasson but i feel we just need that leon clark type player

Sorry mate, just really think Simpson was totally wasted and a non entity when played there last season. (My comment was only about Simpson)

i agree with most of what shefflatic is saying one thing i think we should try is playing 4-3-3 formation keep the back four as it is for now with wes ,furman and machamaba or how ever you spell his name in the middle lol with croft , simpson and a new winger as the 3 front men or maybe putting simpson out wide and getting a natural goal scorer up top

NO

Thought J Y MVoto was absolutely superb today looked really comfortable their no9 srtiker was in his pocket all afternoon.

Trialist A. looked to have a good touch and pace did good for the short time he was on LW

Hughes was arrested and charged with Sexual Assault, he was actually found guilty of Assault.

Didn't he allegedly put his hand up some young woman's skirt and lift her in the air by her crotch' strange way to 'hit' someone for common assault!!!!!!!!

Does footage exist from our 1-0 win v U*d in 1974? I can't remember ever having seen any.

Only on 78rpm

when the referee gave a corner to exeter after they missed that penalty , hit the post and went out without it going anywhere near dean brill , yet exeter got the corner and the inevitable happened.

 

Gregan strangling steve morison and giving a penalty away, i couldnt believe what i was seeing at the time.

My upboat is for making me remember a very bizarre moment

Trevor Kettle vs Charlton at home last season. (not just one decision but a full 90+ mins of bad decisions) Booooo!

Yes a shocking overall perfofmance. Deserved to be beaten to within an inch........... with a copy of the match DVD

Hope the Glazer's buy the land and put a public toilet block on it!

1989-90 Nick Henry's long range shot against ManU in the FA Cup replay at Maine Road. Quite clearly crossed the line as witnessed by everyone except the referee.

I know it's a long time ago but it's still very painful!!

Or we look at sorting out the 3 other stands we have. Oldham Athletic does not need an increase in seating capacity, it needs an increase in income which is exactly what this stand will bring us.

I totally agree with you. My post which you quoted out of context was in direct response to charnwoods specific question!

Lets worry about filling the thing first before any further expansion shall we.

 

Old lookers 2700 with 1100 in the paddock

I wasn't worrying!!!!!!!!!!
