  1. Got mine. Does anyone know if the club intend giving updates on the number sold? It's just possible that some people may buy one if they know that they are getting £70 back, but not bother otherwise. A running total, especially if we're getting close to the magic number, may help push them into buying.

     

    Please no negative responses such as "whats the point we'll never sell that many". Let's keep upbeat

  2. My dad (who lives in a marina on the way to saxilby) only goes to a few games a year, usually listens on the net. He drives a new silver mercedes, i doubt its him as id be suprised if he's suddenly decided to put a latics sticker on his flashy car ;)

     

    Marina's called Burton Waters. I guess it wasn't him then, which means that there is yet anther Latics fan in Lincoln. LOAF (Lincolnshire Oldham Athletic Fans) will be bigger than OASIS before long!

  3. I live in Manchester and only know 3 other Latics fans..

     

    My best mate lives in Leeds

    My dad lives in Lincoln

    My dad's best mate lives in London

     

    I now have a small army of mates in Manchester who claim Oldham as their second team to their Premier League preferences

     

    I live 10 miles outside Lincoln, and my nearest known Latics Neighbour lives about 10 miles away in North Hykehem. I also know of another Latics fan in Lincoln.

     

    Kieran where does your dad live in Lincoln? My mate was talking to someone at Asda a few weeks ago who is a Latics fan, has a car with Latics stickers on, and says he goes to games. Maybe it was him?

  4. Id happily offer a lift but as I dont have a car on the road at the minute Im struggling to get to any games at all.

    If you can get up to Lincoln (plenty of trains from Grantham) we go to most home games and will usually have a spare seat. If you're intersted PM me and I'll give you my phone number

  5. I used to live in Berlin 83-86 and went back there on holiday 2005. One place we also used to go was a novelty bar in Charlottenburg called Klo's (think that's the right spelling). I think Klo is german slang for toilet, and everything in there is toilet based. Drinks come in Pottys or specimin jars. Some of the tables move like there is an earthquake while your sat at them. Place is usually packed, so you have to get in early. Hope that helps, and hope its still open.

     

    There are alos a lot of gentlemans clubs near Charlottenburg railway station, if that's your bag.

  6. This thread has recalled the memory of being at Diggle Junior School in the early 70's, and being taunted (one was a gir a bit older so I wasn;t trauatised or anything) by some United fans calling Oldham Pathetic. Stuck to my guns though, I have always been a bit stubborn. Best retort I could come up at the time with was Puny-ted, which wasn;t a bad retort for a 7 year old!!! I don't recall too many fellow Tics at the time, unfortauntely.

     

    I'm neither born nor schooled in Oldham, but moved to Grasscroft in 1973, where we lived in to the 80's. Latics were the first team I ever watched regularly, and with the likes of Alan Groves, Maurice Whittle and co in the team who could help but follow them. The rest is history.

     

    The post above reminds me of my brother and I catching the 180 into town for matches, and being given abuse by the city/utd clowns already on the bus. It always amazed me that these people could travel through Oldham, but then go on to Manchester to watch their football. Mind you, more recentley I met my bro in the Cambridge in Werneth before a latics game, and got the same abuse from the "oldhamers" in there watching the Manc derby. Some things never change.

  7. I use it all the time with people in Australia and the US. The quality is not always great, but what do you expect for free. One tip - don't use the webcam unless you need to (no questions asked!), it seems to use up the available bandwidth and make the voice quality worse.
