Rick Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Anyone interested in buying 2 tickets for the Leeds match? I am watching from the pub (at least you can adjust the colour settings ) PM me if so. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am watching from the pub (at least you can adjust the colour settings ) PM me if so. Cheers Debating whether to bother myself, I keep trying to snap myself out of this indifference towards going to games. The odd good performance helps but it's becoming increasingly hard to drag myself to BP. It's habit rather than enjoyment, my late teens and early twenties were spent watching us hit the depths and I tell you what at least we knew we were :censored:e rather than the season after season of under-achieving wankers we have had to put up with since Ritchie was fired.

Hope you wrong to stay away I also sincerely hope I am wrong to stay away While I understand the club's stance on letting Leeds have the whole of the RRE, it doesn't make it right or mean that I have to like it. They can do without my support for one match. Hopefully someone else will want to go and watch from the paddock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego_Sideburns Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 I can understand people are unable to go to games at BP for all sorts of reasons - if it was a meeting, we could submit their apologies. However, in the case of those who make a deliberate decision not to go, even though they're able, I'm curious genuinely about why they feel the need to come on here to tell us they're not going. Even in one case to the extent of looking forward to us being outsung on TV by Leeds. Do they want us to try to coax them into changing their minds? Is it that they have a guilty conscience about deliberately refusing to go? Are they trying to persuade others to stop going? Is it a protest against the Club, management or players? It could be any or all of these reasons, but why tell us they're not going? It baffles me! I'm not trying to lecture anyone about needing to keep the Faith and get behind the team. I've given up preaching that gospel for Lent. I'm just curious about broadcasting their rejection of Latics. Anyone care to enlighten me?

Well to be fair, in Rick's case it's because he's trying to sell his tickets.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego_Sideburns Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Well to be fair, in Rick's case it's because he's trying to sell his tickets.......... I appreciate that. As I understand it, even though Rick is pissed off over the RRE situation, he still went to the trouble of swapping his tickets for the paddock, but has now decided to stay in the pub instead. He could have returned his tickets to BP for a refund without telling us about it but, fair enough, he's trying to save himself that trouble by selling them on here. I'm still curious about feeling the need to announce deliberate non-attendance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocky_Latic Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 I'm still curious about feeling the need to announce deliberate non-attendance. When people openly post about the shocking attendance that was last night - then state that "oh, well we know they'll all be out for Leeds" - Then you've invited the post in return begging to differ. Something which you couldn't quite grasp. As for liking the prospect of Leeds outsinging Latics. Not in the slightest but it's not going to happen. Again, something which you didnt quite grasp. Reasons for not going on monday. 1) I couldnt give a stuff about it being Leeds. I hate Bury more. 2) The football on show doesnt warrant value for money. 3) Had the option of the only stand left in BP I like watching game's from taken away. 4) I've come away from so many games disillusioned with the club after one mediocre performance after another, with the same old cr*p churned out that doesnt have any impact. 5) 90 minute's football isnt the sole reason why I go to Latics. ......and on and on.

I'm still curious about feeling the need to announce deliberate non-attendance. These are not my tickets. I decided not to swap my ST for a match ticket, but 2 of my friends did. As they are STs, you cannot get a refund from the club. If someone else wants to go and is willing to pay for them, then great. OK with you?

oafcprozac Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 (edited) Sorry for misinterpreting your original post, which read to me as though you were selling your tickets because you were watching the match from the pub. Now I know they're not your tickets, I'm even more curious about why you needed to tell us you were watching from the pub. Times are hard at the moment, people don't know if they've got a job from one week to the next - the one constant they have is Latics, when people see :censored:e like they have been doing pretty much for the last four months people become disillusioned and vote with their feet, rightly or wrongly. The be all and end all in the majority of people's lives is not lying awake at night worrying about whether they will be outsung by Leeds fans! Yes we support the team, that's apparent and the one constant but people predominantly go to games to be entertained - the club have failed to keep their side of the bargain, so people are saying "if those overpaid losers can't be arsed neither can I", simple as - ask any lapsed Latics supporter and i'm sure their comments will be similar. I've paid for my season ticket, the club have my money. I've swapped my tickets for the paddock on Monday. Not really decided if I can give up a precious evening to watch that load of :censored:e. My life's :censored: enough at the moment without having to sit through that again. Edited February 25, 2009 by oafcprozac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diego_Sideburns Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Only reason it'll be near a sell out is thanks to the only set of fans who'll be heard on the tele. "United. Leeds." I know loads of people who werent there tonight who've been more than a dozen away's this season for various reasons... Best keep it quiet about their plans for the Leeds game too - You know. The very one you said they'd be all coming out of the woodwork for. "Can You Hear The Oldham Sing???"......

slurms mckenzie Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Quite a turn around from the posts complaining about fans who weren't "real fans" taking the places of regular match goers for the Leeds game. Latics being latics, we'll beat Millwall and Leeds and lose to the next sh1t team we play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
