meatpaste Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 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! Ah, that sort of Marina, I was getting worried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daboke Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 As I don't actually know any Oldham fans living in Japan (although I've tried to convert some) I7m guessing the closest one I know is ThaiLatic.... although I don't think we've ever spoken. It's a lonely old place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I'd imagine I would have to go several hundred miles... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a lonely old place. There were two others over there a couple of years ago. I haven't seen either of them posting on here (or the old board) for a long time. PM me if you'd like a chat.

penrhyn Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I know a Latics fan in California and one in Wisconsin (the elusive Simon, occasional subject of OWTB live chat) but the legend that is Dave Moore must be the nearest as he lives near Vancouver, BC and we're only 120 miles from there. Talk of BALLS and LOAF remind me that I must resurrect my idea of North American Independent Latics Supporters (NAILS)...

Markoasis Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Nearest I know is my mate a couple of miles away in Covent Garden - I'm in Pimlico - although the same lad used to live 50 yards away in coppice when we were kids how could I forgot about him !!! must be my closest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ackey Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Thai - Why couldn't you have started this thread twelve months ago?! I could've abused peoples spare rooms in about 5 places I've been!

lonelylaticsfaninaus Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I'm sure I am not the only fan in Melbourne. Is there anyone else out there? I am in Hoppers Crossing. Afew weeks ago there was a woman on the radio here and she said she is a Latics fan, so I suppose I have at least one within 50km. I also saw a televised match here several years ago in a pub. It was when we beat City and there were more Latics fans than City fans there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lonelylaticsfaninaus Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Apologies if I've asked this before but do you ever go and watch Melbourne Victory? I have seen them once, playing Wellington Phoenix. They lost on the night but I really enjoyed it. Their standard would be about low league one top league two in my opinion, but they are really well supported and obviously have a much better budget than Latics. Unfortunately they play Friday nights, making it difficult for me to get to matches and my miserable husband (city fan) wont go and watch them. Has to be premier league or not at all for him.

My team, Chonburi FC, played them in the AFC Champions League last season. We beat them 3-1 at home but their fans were absolutely brilliant so I always look out for their results. Try and persuade your "miserable husband" to go along. It'll be much more entertaining than the rubbish C*ty have just dished up against Pompey Incidentally, Perth Glory v wellington Phoenix (and the reverse fixture) must be the furthest away trip in any domestic league!!

PatchLatics Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Derker, so about a mile and half/2 miles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lincoln Blue Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 I live in Lincoln and there are several Latics fans around the city. Three live within half a mile of me and we regularly attend games together. Note for Thai Latic: I'm working in Bangkok until 17 March so I could be the closest to you at the moment?

Can't believe how crap city are when they've got all that money. There's something very wrong at that club I think. I must try to get the old man to see sense. I did get him to B.P. on our last visit to U.K. and he had to admit he enjoyed it more than the 2 city games he saw while we were there. I reckon you're right about Perth Glory and Wellington Phoenix. Every time Phoenix play away, they have to leave New Zealand I think. They must be the only club in the world that leaves their own country to play every away game. Hope they have a huge budget or a great deal with their chosen airline. Can anyone think of another?

And Mukdohan will have to cross the border tp play all their HOME games in another country this season. The Thai second division (NE Region) club's stadium is in Laos!!

Diego_Sideburns Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Sorry to disappoint you but my mum and dad are sitting about three feet away from me right now Give them regards from fellow B.A.L.L.S., and tell them they missed two pieces of history yesterday with the Windass goal and the new Ernie Flag. My nearest Latics supporter is oafc_ok just over two miles away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldhamSheridan Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Mine's about two miles away. You see Latics shirts when you least expect it. From the guy on a building site in Durham centre wearing the white one (it was a right mess), to the man in India washing an elephant with one.
