boboafc Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Oldham pray for derby tony glennon 19/ 8/2008 NON-LEAGUE minnows Oldham Town have their "big brother" neighbours Oldham Athletic in their sights after successfully negotiating the FA Cup's opening hurdle. It might still be August, but Town have already taken the first step on the long road to Wembley with goals by Stuart McGill and Darren Scanlan giving them a 2-0 home extra preliminary-round victory over fellow Vodkat League outfit Ashton Athletic. Town boss Tony Mills knows his part-timers have no chance of reaching the final, of course. But, like every semi-pro club in the land, the Whitebank Stadium side are dreaming of making the first-round proper, which, in their case, would bring with it the chance of a fairytale meeting with John Sheridan's League One Latics.

Diego_Sideburns Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Long way to go before the first round proper, but it's all about dreaming and you can't beat the F.A. Cup for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

singe Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Tonbridge angels away would be good for me. I do draw the line at losing to Oldham Town, too humiliating for words. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego_Sideburns Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Looking forward to Chasetown having another good season. They were top of the league last season, but by Christmas, due to their amazing F.A.Cup run, a backlog of fixtures began to take its toll. At the start of the New Year it all came to a head when in the space of one week three key players moved to a higher level. Chris Slater and Kyle Perry were signed by Port Vale and Vaugan Thomas by AFC Telford. Also a number of long term injuries to other key players, meant a mid-season rebuild of the squad, but they still managed to finish 7th, just one point off the play-offs.
