peanuts

To be fair to Sally Anne Mathews can recall her attending regularly a while ago, and being vocal, not sure if she was going out with a player at the time?

Mike Cecere after she finished with Norman (Who?) Kelly.

 

Sarah Lancashires Dad was a Latics fan,when he left the Oldham Chronicle he later wrote the TV Series "The Cuckoo Waltz" which was about a Latics Reporter.

One episode was actually filmed in the main stand (at a reserve game I think) and the main character made several references to our flying winger Alan Groves.

remeber this also showed some footage of a certain mister R BLAIR in action

I've got a feeling Grays play in blue as well so it would be the logical choice.

maybe a fans fixture mini tournement us dale and grays to raise cash for cancer research ?

wasnt my idea for the shirt was bb80s on another forum but it was to good not to float

thoughts are with you ernie

time for an owtb ledgends shirt me thinks raise some cash for ern or cancer research or how about a blue and tangerine ribbon like for the aids awarness to do the same ?

a way for us the fans to show our support for ernie

can remember this looked absoloutly awsome seem to rember it being used in one of the programmes

alan groves = god my first tru latics hero would be worth millions today "class in a glass"

the put the champiagne on ice song was first sung in the third round of the fa cup at home bye me in the chaddy just got a load of funny looks when i started it soon caught on at birmingham tho

oh and i nicked it off everton whod sang it a few years before

remember that one hehe dont the kits look just right with proper numbers badge and no names and sponsers ah the good old days pass the horlicks nurse lol

Out of interest, has anyone ever actually been rained on in the RRE or is that just an assumption because they see that the away fans are huddled up. The main reason the away fans are huddled up near the back is nothing to do with rain, it is to do with the fact that the stand fills from the top down rather than bottom up (Johnny Ball would support me on this). If you go to away matches many tend to prefer to be a bit further back anyway so that they can stand and not get in anyone’s way. There are often people sat near the front though who would surely move to an empty seat if they were getting rained on.

to answer your question yes ive been rained on in the rre usualy sat there during the great escape season (i was one of the four who got the wave started at 4-1 )apart from one memorable game where i had to sit in the chaddy (a certain mr adams making scmicael look silly and i dont meeen the dog of corrie )yes you get a godd view but you get the sun in your eyes wind in your face & back of the seat infront in ya shins .the accoustics are good having banter over the fence with the away fans can be fun but it still does not have that same attmosphere as the chaddy the chaddy when full and on song eg leeds & hudds this season is a spine tingling place to be the rre is just a noisy stand know where i will be when the chaddy gets its new roof !

i currently sit right hand side of the chdddy end of row E edge of the chior accross the isle from leevezy & co which can be as entertaining as the game some times !

When we're in the lead:

 

Moore and Moore

How do you like it, how do you like it

was singing that with arnoid on the way back to the car at theres he he

glad to see the jumpers gone mate was cursed i teels ya cursed lol

Sheff Utd Late 70's they "took" the chaddy

 

Bad afternoon that was

remeber that one was it when they stayed quite untill the teams came out then all hell let loose ended up with a row of plod keeping the rival factions apart was scary stuff indeed

mmm..just got me thinking this.

i've read the thread regarding being from oldham,born in oldham etc...

now,i was born near cambridge.

i didn't arrive in oldham till i was about 5...old man in the RAF

all my parents/grandparents are from oldham.

do i qualify as a potential "proper" oldhamer who supports oldham,or shall i look as to what division cambridge utd play in these days and start afresh with them?

in a similar situation was born in march & moved to oldham (saddleworth )when i was 6 months old should i be looking out for cambridge or peterboro results or have i passed the naturalisation time (42years)to be a proper oldhamer ?

wrong! bobby once scored an own goal for fulham absolout crackerin header int chaddy ah memories lol

haerd a rumer last night that we had put someone up in ahotel whilstwe sorted adeal out this from the same source who told me trotters was goin preston for £500.000 so has some credance but could be that just a roumer !

can remeberhim sitting on the ball and doing his laces during one game cant say when was my absolout god as a kid amazing player !oh and have you thougt of having a word with stewart who wrote team fromn atown of chimneys am sure he may ahve some tails to tell ?

why is it that when i come along the M60/62 there are no signs showing the way to our ground yet go up the m6/65 and theres signs for preston blackburn and burnley .think thr idea of a sign on or around broadway would be a greatt idea how about one of those side of a trailer things in a field next to the m62 at jn21.

may have two spare kids seats in the chaddy looks like my girls are going shopping instead if any one is strugglin

Town sold their full allocation first thing this morning.....

 

As most have already said I reckon a really close game with us just sneaking it. Should be a great day out anyway and a belting atmosphere. Arrivign in oldham at around 11ish. Is there any decent pubs in town? We wont be wearing colours and are non hoolies... Just need somewhere to throw down a fev bevvies.

 

Cheers and good luck for the rest of the season(apart from saturday ;))

or you could come over early and watch the owtb -net terriers game next to the red barn then up to clayton green /rifle range etc after with the lads

can i put one up that was against us but not at bp ? archie gemmel for derby at the baseball ground mid 80s ran the game and destroyed us just awesome (think it was his first game back )

also the great bobby moore for fulham in the 70s ran the show that day scored a fantastic header for the winner pity it was in his own net ! remeber the chaddy was silent as if they didnt believe theyed seen it before going absolutly mental
