Ok well that explains the lack of reply then, thanks. Don't see what we would have to lose by doing something similar?

I actually sent an email to Alan Hardy about this the other day with the same link, not yet had a reply from him. Hi Alan, This is just idea but I don't think we are in the position to totally dismiss it. Saw this article on BBC Website and thought surely teams at a higher level than Stirling Albion should give this a try. Basically 30 players are paying £200 each to try to win a contract, so that's £6000 for the club and hopefully we unearth some quality talent give them a years contract to prove themselves. With us being at a higher level may be able to charge more than £200 and therefore make even more money for the club, sure it would create a lot of interest locally and nationally.

Got to agree with Macca signing Scholes would show the 'undecided' fans that we mean business. Would put more bums on seats, more media interest and more shirt sales. Don't think it will ever happen but would do the club the world of good.

Can we not sign him up on non contract terms so he can play on Saturday, as we are short of players and struggling to put the ball in the net! Got to be worth a try!

Don't suppose anyone knows what they're charging for the stickers sets now? Are the packs still 5 for a fiver?

Are the packs still 5 for a fiver mate?

What sort of prices are we talking for these stickers?

Son is collecting these, do you know if there is any problem with the Brentford game ones as not had any when asked in shop at last few home games? Thanks

Atmosphere was absolutely quality yesterday! Wasn't looking forward to going back into the Chaddy after moving to the Rocky for the last three seasons but was great atmosphere and was great to be nearer to the benches and our lads warming up and down, had a proper good crack yesterday!

Sign him up now! Absolute quality and he loved it yesterday had a massive smile on his face when we were singing sign him up whilst he was warming down! Great decision by Dickov to start him ahead of Jones!

She looked pretty good to me when doing the Home and Away round with her, 110 quid for answering three questions not a bad afternoons work!

Wouldn't surprise me if they're at the game, they seemed to like watching their handywork last Sunday!

Surely not that bigger problem for the club to change their mind and put them in small end, as we'll probably have more in the Rocky Road end than them!

What's the point in making some money with a cup run, only gonna go in TTA back pocket, as the always right 'Chron' says no extra money to be given to Dickov !!!

Yeh think you might be right just hope he finds his feet in next few weeks as the BP faithful hope and expect !!!

The National papers,etc talk bollocks, it might just be a bit of South / North bias but as I read yesterday The Sun predicts Tranmere 22nd, us 23rd and Rochdale 24th!!! Might be right with 2 out of 3 but not us !!!! Good job they do cheap tickets or wouldn't read their paper !!!!

After watching pre-season and Saturday we don't need a need signing instead of Lewi, as he has looked more than capable there !!! Just hope Tounkare can turn into the player we hope he will !!!!

Great atmosphere and performance, was a really enjoyable day. Let's hope next Saturday is the same!

Superb post Slurms got to admit feel the same, pride in wearing the shirt and battling for the cause! Come on Oldham! Paul Dickov's Blue and White Army!

For me Ritchie and Bunn all the way! Will put bums on seats, both local and have a good affinity with the club and the fans. As said on radio yesterday Ritchie has unfinished business here, brought in some class last time Eyres, Shez and Carss, plus one of the big reasons he lost job here and at Barnsley was cos he wouldn't spend money, suits us fine as we haven't got any and will fit in with TTA tight budget. Frankie very good coach especially with the youngsters and must have some very good contacts at City which can only lead to a better quality of loan player from City next season. With these two quality strikers in charge, good chance of attacking football and the feel good factor would be back. Before you say go for something different rather than someone previously played here, Shez didn't do too bad did he!

Im sick of hearing its the fans fault for getting Ronnie Moore sacked, John Sheridan sacked and trying to get Dave Penney sacked what a load of crap! It was the TTA that sacked the managers not the fans!!! Ronnie Moore was sacked due to poor season ticket sales, that was their decision as crowds are much worse now, personally was glad got rid as his football was crap and was glad we brought in Shezza, Tommy and Dux. Fans only to blame in that they didnt buy season tickets!!! John Sheridan was sacked by TTA for off the field problems, ie problems with Windass, the dogs incident with Hughesy, drinking culture and the results were starting to go from bad to worse. Fans were getting restless but did not get Shezza sacked don't kid yourselves as soon as Oldham were hitting the headlines for the wrong reason and results were not the best the TTA were looking for the best way to change things and then decided to bring in someone to appease the Oldham public Joe Royle who then was given the job of getting rid of our only hope of promotion Lee Hughes!! Dave Penney only has himself to blame, no attempt to try to bother with the fans from day 1, totally negative tactics, poor signings and taking months to realise the obvious! The fans knew early season we needed a keeper to push Brill for his place, knew we needed centre back cover for Greegs and Rubes, knew that Parker was not up to the job. He made big decisions on players like O'Grady and Alessandra without really seeing them play and he got lucky with Dale Stephens who if it wasn't for injuries would still probably have not played. He has turned us to a boring unattractive side to watch, where is the flying wingers we had under Shez both Taylor and Smalley have gone backwards under Penney. I'm sick of the happy with one point attitude very much better not to lose than risk going for a win. The majority of the fans want rid and I can understand why, relegation to league 2 is not an option if it comes down to the last few games I fear for us because under Penneys management and tactics I don't think we have enough to see us over the line. Yes it will cost us to sack him but what will it cost sticking with him, league 2 football and next season possibly the lowest season ticket sales in my lifetime and I'm 40 soon!!! I personally believe that with the right tactics and positive management there are enough good players at the club to help us survive well before the last couple of games! All I will say if we're going to chant to get rid of Penney, let's wait til the appropriate time ie half time after the game as it does not help the players during the game! I was one of the few in the Rocky Road End trying my best to sing louder than the boo boys and getting behind the team, it was hard work as the silent majority didn't want to know! Sorry for the long post but still angry after yesterdays game, think I need to go to the pub!!!!

I will be renewing but have got to admit this season for me has been the most crappy boring season since I started attending games on a regular basis in the early eighties! I even enjoyed Talbot's time in charge more than this season, but that might have something to do with beating City and the flair of Kilkenny and Croft!

Yeh 2-0 would be good but capable of more, Tuesday night should and could have been few more but Penney tactics made sure we were happy to settle for 2!

Think today could be the day for a good win but oh no with Penney in charge not a chance, as soon as we are 2-0 nil up he will just tell the team to defend the lead! Seen it all before and don't think we've scored 3 or more in any game under Penney yet!!

No way has Eaves looked anywhere near embarrasing, looked ok to me! We've done the Smalley up front think and it doesn't work and we've tried Parker up front and doesn't really work, give Eaves a chance!
