if we were 10th in the table a battling, unlucky 0-1 against top of the league wouldn't have seemed too bad.

we'll be fine.

the team shouldnt be ****** about on shows like socceram

product on the pitch

horrible, horrible turn of phrase

Great. We are allowed rare access to a club's books, looking at turnover of millions, sharing infornmation that is denied to most supporters , and there's posts about SC saying pies instead of catering plus other income being affected by postponement.

you'd like to say it's "unbelievable" but, sadly, it isn't.

re: the comments about them not making money out of OAFC - what the hell's wrong with them ultimately making money out of it as long as they leave us in a better state than they found us???

why?

if people get all precious when Penney says "I don't care what the fans think" what are they gonna be like with this mouthpiece???

i thought they were going to bring a "huge large" following?

for Pawel Abbott or anyone else playing up front

This is How It Feels to be Lonely

This is how it feels at nil all

This is how it feels when you get no service at all

You can see the moon from my flat... does that mean I'm the first man to live on the moon!?

 

WOOHOO! Someone call Guinness! I'm going to be famous!

alright, calm down

don't hate mancs as I pretty much am one.

if Manchester had a beach it would be the worlds greatest city

Failsworth is Manchester & is the last place in "Oldham" i'd want a new stadium to be

driving down Oldham Rd (therein lies another distinction - is it Oldham Rd or Manchester Rd?? or does it depend which way you're going?) as you pass the end of Broadway you can see the City Centre skyline right in front of you - it's Manchester.

but I want a new stadium, wherever it is.

confused,

I think I've earned enough goodwill on this site over the last three years to show this is not an attempt at fishing.

 

I would like to hear from those who oppose the Failsworth moved based on it being "in Manchester" and why the Manchester factor is the sticking point.

 

I don't care about "we're Oldham we should be in Oldham" as that's an explanation in itself, I want to know why people who consider themselves Oldhamers hate those who they consider Mancs.

 

Please be constructive and not gratuitously inflammatory, ta.

tribalism. people from one town don't/pretend they don't like people from the next town.

simple.

have you seriously never come across this phenomenon before?

are you going to start a new job any time soon?

Especially as it appears to me there were more in Oldham than Failsworth...

ah, but where did they buy the guns from?

 

Play like they did last week, and it will come.

i hope so

We're more likely to score since he joined than before he joined.

but still not likely enough

P.S. Has anyone else noticed this place now has more members than our average gate?

in what context are you using the word "member"?

£6000 a week for breakfasts????

can you be more specific?

i've backed 0-1 and 0-2 tomorrow.

would prefer 0-2 at 33-1

which raises the question, could a good strong leadership in oldham help to change our fortunes? (not just with support for stadium)

until people start voting based on policies rather than "coz me dad always voted for them" that's never gonna happen.

that aside, who do I vote for this time round to get "strong leadership"?? i've no idea but doubt there's even such an option.

step 1 for me in improving this town one iota would be to stop frittering away the remainder of each years council tax on stuff that doesn't need doing & use it to incentivise companies to open offices/factories/call centres/shops here.

or would that be too simple?

Is he a Whaley or a Whalley? Soon find out I suppose.

he'd be perfect for us -his name can easily be mis spelt AND mis pronounced or both.

Leeds 1-2 Walsall.

Especially considering we should have had more than just the 1.

It's been a strange season. Are we in a false position?

There was racist graffiti in the subway under Chadderton Way last time i went through. i've also seen stuff along Broadway. Unfortunately it's not that uncommon, there's a fair bit of it in the part of Liverpool where i used to live (i haven't seen any where i live now in Toxteth, unsurprisingly).

And unfortunately people's homes do get attacked - i could be wrong but wasn't one of the things that led up to the riots Stoke 'fans' putting in windows in Westwood?

Because there isn't any 'Gingers Out' graffiti around Oldham, there aren't far right groups calling for gingers to be 'voluntarily re-settled' to Ireland, gingers don't get their windows put in for being ginger.....

i'll give you the voluntary resettlement but where is this graffiti and whose windows have been put through?

I had a funny lined up for that but I think I'll leave it too.

Going over the books, Any questions?

no.
