garcon Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 (edited) LOL Oops. I suspect that's down to some lowly copy editor rather than Yarwood himself. Edited February 25, 2008 by garcon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest M_OAFC Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 To be fair to Yarwood it appears to be a member of the I.T. staff responsible for this one. If you weren't all so foolish as to be suckered in by the frivolous notion that there is life beyond Mumps Bridge you would have a hard copy and know that it says 1-0. It's no mistake, it's all part of the conspiracy to starve you deserters of the truth. All these "rarely wrong," "Titanic sinks" cheap laughs at the Chron's expense just make me smile. Little do you know the joke is on you. It was 1-0 but that's the last 'insider' info you're getting off me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigfinLatic Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 This is a cock-up of such major proportion that I feel justified in changing my description to the often wrong Chron from now onwards. I'm sure even BigFin can't defend this one! I think this is brilliant... its the new Chron policy to make everything sound better than it actually is... take a rubbish game, add a couple of goals, and hey presto, its an end to-end three goal thriller.... Next week, in better than life reporting: - Oldham is European Capital of Culture 2009 - Glodwick overtakes Sandbancks as the 'UK's most desirable housing location' - Latics win at Port Vale As always... the Chron is a visionary publication....

As always... the Chron is a visionary publication.... I see now.....the idea of the often wrong online Chron is to lull those Oldhamers who only read it on t'internet, into thinking that they ought to get down to BP on Tuesday night on the back of another away victory. I promise not to comment on the attendance! Edited February 25, 2008 by Diego_Sideburns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hometownclub Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 I promise not to comment on the attendance! The attendance will be low D_S. A cold windy Tuesday night in February, what more excuse do the apathetic Oldham public need, added to probably very few travelling up from Swindon midweek. Not much over 4,000 would be my very confident prediction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beag_teeets Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 (edited) Swindon midweek. Not much over 4,000 would be my very confident prediction.

Hometownclub Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Not much over 3000 is my very confident prediction. I was hoping we might get up to around the 4,000 mark with just ST holders and hardcore fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beag_teeets Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 The Gillingham attendance was much higher than I thought it would be, I thought that would be about 3000 too. Hopefully I am wrong again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
