kellysheroes Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 I guess this is the chickens coming home to roost. All season the dickheads in the RRE have been playing up. Well this is the consequence of those actions. Sadly there will be innocent victims. Such as the random bloke stuck next to the drum. dickheads??? whats happened a few songs theres been no fighting really has they?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego_Sideburns Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 leeds will sell there allocation come what may...we wont. With it being shown on Sky our challenge is to get more Latics supporters through the turnstiles than the 4,600 Leeds supporters. Can we do it? If the current pattern of results continues, Leeds will be above us and there will be a lot of Latics supporters even more disenchanted than at present and not able to stomach a Tuesday night at BP being outsung by gloating Yorkies.

danoafc Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Explain why oldham blame?? if they didnt want trouble why give them 4600 when you could just give them 2700 and charge them £25 because we can, or would they think leeds fans would buy tickets in the oldham end Cos KH, if they could be arsed getting off their fat backsides in any kind of reasonable numbers, there would have been a much stronger case to hold out. And, as somebody else said above, if the gobby little barstewarsds in the RRE who have been intent on causing as much disruption as possible had behaved themselves, perhaps the plod wouldn't have had an issue in the first place.

danoafc Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Simply a bit late in the day to be making ANY changes and hugely unfair on home supporters who are the ones inconvenienced. What, over a month in advance with 2 home games coming up?! Nice gesture on the part of the club to offer a free ticket to the ones who have already collected their tickets.

But I'm with you we shouldnt give them the whole stand, like I said too many or too little away fans tends to increase the chance of trouble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostofcecere Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 same here, this was one thing I was dreading we'd do, but like against Blackpool we've given in. I suppose the apathetic public of Oldham have to take some of the blame aswell ...... as does 14 or so years of mediocrity on the pitch causing the apathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc1955 Posted January 29, 2009 Author Share Posted January 29, 2009 I think they got 4000 at Stocky but what does it matter - We can't fill the ground so let others who can do. It's all money in the coffers and giving them 3000 + or 4500 wont make that much difference to making it feel at home for them !! I bet you won't be saying the same if we meet them in the playoffs.........What would the police / latics do then!!! I think we would more or less sell the 8000 for the BP leg. I think the comment about making the Chaddy the away end needs serious consideration next season especially if we are promoted.....Even though fans were pre-warned, If I was a season ticket holder in the RRE this season I would be seriously p****d off at this constant moving around!!!

Wouldn't happen. The looks on the Millwall faces when they attempted to scale the moat said it all. Nah, I'll leave it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeslover Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 dickheads??? whats happened a few songs theres been no fighting really has they?? Coins, bottles and savoury pastry products have been thrown though, the club has already had to make changes due to police instructions. There was fighting outside after Millwall. What do you suppose would happen after a repeat of that vs Leeds when a lot of them will have been on the piss all day? Give over acting like a martyr, this will make money for the club, it will be safer and if they hadn’t followed police, “advice,” they would have been instructed to do it anyway or been made to pay for hundreds more coppers and section more seats off.

Diego_Sideburns Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 What, over a month in advance with 2 home games coming up?! So plenty of time to get those tickets, instead of moaning about it being all ticket and not having a ticket outlet in the town centre. Don't forget tickets can be bought online to save time queueing. See OS - Tickets - Click on Online ticketing In truth many Latics supporters will not bother getting tickets and will watch it on Sky, criticising the lack of numbers and atmosphere created by Latics supporters.

KYLEOAFC Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Corney let this slip a fair few months ago in his Latics world interview, saying the only time we will sell out is when leeds bring 4000+ even though the maxium allocation at the time was 3000 or less. It leaves a bitter taste in the mouth this one especially when we were treated so badly at Stockport and AH & the powers that be didnt get us any extra tickets. The only people to lose out on this are the ST holders in the rocky of which i am one but another thing is when are the club going to announce that as from December they put ticket prices up 2.5%? Give us our Rocky back and the VAT boys!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoytonBlueLad Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 (edited) Not just Leeds but over the course of the season we've had: Stockport. Crap allocation. Fans in home end at their place. They come to us and get big end. Leicester. Get big end at BP. Offer ticket deal for home fans in return game while we pay normal price. Huddersfield. Given big end at BP. Farce as pay on day available at Gayfarm but not officially announced. Leeds. About £26 and stuck up in a top corner at Elland Road. Now given all the RRE. Sometimes it's just great isn't it Screw it, they can have the RRE, we'll take the points. Again. Oh and the Sky money.

kellysheroes Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 can i just turn up on the night with my RRE season ticket and go in either the chaddy or main stand or do i have to go down to the ticket office myself and change it???

Does it not occur to you that you are suggesting that we create the same situation with Leeds that we were in at Stockport? Or will it make up for some of our fans getting kicked in there if we batter a few Yorkies? Give me strength... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drphibes Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 I think this decision is probably a financial one but I do beleive that the cretins who give it the large in the RRE to away fans have contributed to Leeds being given all the stand.
