Lee. They're on the wind up and putting a little dig at one of their own. Read the first few posts and it mentions a poster called Tazzy (who's real name is Mark Davies). The opening post from the Latics fan is pretty much something he'd do. Speak to a few of the lads you go Latics with as a number of them have him on their facebook and will tell you what he's like. Most think he's a dick, including 'dale fans. http://www.fansnetwork.co.uk/football/roch...&t=14674#27

You'll believe anything.

They do similar things with changing rooms, etc. The youths cant "muck" in as they play at 11am on Chapel Road most saturdays.

That would be considered class vocal support regardless of what age group it's for.

City's first goal was as good a strike of the ball you'll see all season. Some cracking goals and good football played by both sides. Ref was useless. Should of been a penalty and a red for Latics 4th goal but he didnt know what had happened.

what lags said.

Been listening to commentary the past half hour and it sounds like a cracking game. Orient down to 9 men. Droylsden have 10. 2-2 - Orient coming back from two down in the 84th and 88th minute. http://news.bbc.co.uk/local/london/hi/fron...000/9265439.stm

So poor that you had to forward it on to me you gullible.....

Dont home teams have to pay for the away teams transport if it is called off after they've already set off? Most games in the lower divisions of the football league this weekend will have P-P next to them by 3pm saturday.

How do you figure? They get about 1,400 less than us most home games yet have taken similar amounts to places we have this season. If not more in some cases. So how exactly is it "nothing like latics." Dale's away followings this season Brighton - 304 - (Oldham took 152) Brentford - 229 (Oldham took 322) Bristol R - 343 Exeter - 214 MK Dons - 462 Orient - 362 Southampton - 539 (Oldham took 409) Wednesday 940 - (Oldham took 1,045) Cringe all you want Paddy. Simply putting the point to Lee that Dale's away support is similar to Latics in terms of numbers.

You've never been to a dale/bury match then prozac as the last few years they've took up full allocations, bar the night match on sky when just over 2,000 were in the Manny Road End with a couple of flares. Dale like Oldham have one of the best percentage ratio's in the country for away support. They took 1,000 to Wednesday on a night match the other week. They took 600 to Southampton to name but a few.

+1 Enjoy your day off tomorrow.

It's even worse for our lot given the amount of wheelchairs and vulnerable kids who rely on minibuses dropping them off at their doorsteps. Most cant get down the side streets. This will be just as difficult if not more so, when it turns to ice. Then there's the staff who are coming from miles away. Huddersfield, Rochdale, Bury. All things that have to be taken into consideration. I went outside in the playground earlier to find two diggers moving snow (just as they had done yesterday). What an absolute waste of tax payers money from Oldham Council.

Saturday lunchtime. Easily the best option.

The only reason I can think of is the fact it's a saturday night and the Regal is the first port of call for pretty much everyone on a night out in 'dale.

There was never going to be any trouble with 'dale fans yesterday. Certainly not like that tuesday night game as all the dale lot were in the regal at 9am on their way to Preston for the EDL march. The only trouble was with the police who were being very heavy handed. The 4 riot vans, 3 cops cars and TAU vans summed it up outside the regal after the game. When they shut the bar, I spoke with a female copper who was from Accrington so god knows where half of them had been drafted in.

It was too be expected but i'd much rather have them brought a thousand up here again that a few hundred on a tuesday night. They'd of still be freezing their arses off on a cold saturday in January.

anyone any video's of the atmosphere in there after the game.

I can see the floodlights from my house and it aint all that bad around here. Time to hit the Regal Moon.

I'll stay in dale getting lashed.

Stick me down Mike.

It's cold in 'dale but certainly doesnt feel as bad as it was at the start of the week.

Poor substitutions. Dickov took off the pace that had been so effective all game. Inexperienced management it comes down to.

We got in. Then again, they werent going to turn away 20 lads in fancy dress. It's about £4 a pint though.

Poor substitutions and basic mistakes once again. We were home and dry sat with feet up toasting 3 points at half time. Simple case of doing the basics right and seeing the game out. Then again, We are Oldham Athletic. We should of expected this.
