Never really understood the point of Mason's.

Me neither. You'll understand what I mean Pete!

Couple of Lincolnshire lads will be heading over tomorrow. Is that massive?

More than a couple. There's 4 going from Lincoln. Now that's MASSIVE!

Our biggest match for years, and its on a Friday to keep the Liverpool fans happy! Thanks Barry!

Now on official site http://www.oldhamathletic.co.uk/page/NewsUpdate/0,,10337~2547638,00.html

Pain for those of us who have to travel. Means taking a day off work, but it'll be worth it!

Cant fault his work ethic. Top man who'll be missed. Enjoy your retirement Alan.

Minutes applause next home match?

Forgive my igmorance, but this only says he can train with us. While it is an optimistic sign, do I take it that he can't play?

Bob Carolgees? (Sorry PDW, you beat me to it!!)

There will be several of us going from Lincoln. It's closer than Boundary Park.

I hope you've included me!

I'll take it off your hands, but have to meet you outside scuuny ground as I'm traveling up from Lincoln. If youre happy with that can you PM us your mobile no.

Cheers, Tony

Dagneham does not really appeal to the stayaways or neutrals.

Understand your sentiment, but its Latics they should be coming to see. The opposition shouldn't make that much difference

A memorial service for Richard Butcher is being held today (2 Feb) at Sincil Bank starting ay 13:30. I will be attending and paying my respects. If any other Latics fans are in the area I hope to see you there.

Unfortunately cant get away from work Dave. Would be there otherwise

Personally, I don't care how bad the team is, how poor the atmosphere is or how big a dump the ground is - it's part of who I am.

 

In my opinion, going to watch my LOCAL team, week in, week out makes me better than most other people, certainly most other so called football fans.

 

There is nothing, nothing that anybody could do - owner, manager, player, fellow so called supporter - that would make me cut my nose off to spite my face and stop going.

 

The worse it gets the more steadfast I become.

 

The worse it gets the better the last minute winners, the little chinks of light get.

Great post Harry. Like many I travel miles each week to watch our team. I sometimes question my sanity, but never consider not attending. As you say its part of who we are. Its the easiest thing in the world to follow one of the big boys, but does that really give you the feeling of belonging that you get when you follow your local team. I think not!

Long Live Latics, and Long Live the loyal band of supporters, however few of us there are

Are you sure that wasn't Bridlington?

Can't have been. I could understand the locals, and it wasn't raining

Visiting cyprus in a couple of weeks, staying in paphos.

 

I'll be celebrating my birthday whilst there, has anyone been and got any advice on the best bars and restaurants to try?

 

It's our first time in cyprus so any help would be appreciated.

 

We're staying in the tomb of the kings area.

 

Cheers.

Stayed just by Tomb of the Kings a couple of years ago. The main drag has numerous brit type bars showing english footy, John Smiths and fish and chips. There is one restaurant (cant remember the name) which does a not bad greek evening (food, wine dancing etc). There's a bar called Charlie's, pretty friendly, does karaoke etc, again Brit style. There's also a chinese, but it's quite expensive.

If you want english your in the right area - if you want local stuff you'll have to travel inland a bit

Not living locally and not seeing the Chron, has there been any update on catching the little scrotes who set the fire?

Hi Again, I mentioned this earlier, as has bristolatic, but we need an account name to be able to set up the order.

Cheers, Tony

Hi, I'd like to sign up, my bank standing order set up asks for a name. Is this Trust Oldham, or something different?

Tony

Ive recently returned from Abu Dhabi after being out there for 3 weeks work. If you're not already familiar I recommend Heroes bar in the Crowne Plaza for watching sporting events. Local TV has plenty of English football, but concentrates on the Premier Greed.

If you need any other info I'd be glad to help.

Is there plans to show the new stadium images on official site from tomorrow?

 

For those who cannot attend in person but have invested their life into the club should surely have the same opportunity via the official site?!

Agree with you whole heartedly as I cant make it either. Just in case the fishul site lets us down any chance someone could give us a report tomorrow, some pictures would be good.

Them Crooked Vultures - Only the second listen, not made my mind up yet

Me and a mate travel from Lincoln, its around 220 miles return. As a season ticket holder I try to make every home game, but don't always manage it. I know that there is at least one other poster on here who travels from Lincoln, and another who I don't think uses this board.

I'm bringing 2 from Lincoln who couldn't make it last night.

That means there'll be at least 6 from Lincoln there on Saturday. Only me last night though (and maybe you too Dave?).

I tried to go but got stuck in a jam on the M18 for 2 hours. By the time we got moving it was after kick off and still 60 miles away. Turned round and went home. Anyone else caught in it? There were a load of Birmingham and dirty Leeds fans there as well.

I really can't understand anyone who says this would stop them going. I'm a season ticket holder from Lincoln and every game is an away game for me. Get real!!!!

Me too Dave. Like all the exiles who travel miles for games now, I can't understand how some from the borough can say it is too far.
