Diego_Sideburns Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 By contrast, a young non-league manager takes on a Championship club's managerial hotseat and inspires the players to do enough to appear to have avoided relegation. Yesterday, the club's third successive home game and money tight over a holiday period, produced a crowd of 33,000, with over 17,000 season tickets sold already for next season. Old Big 'ead would have been proud of him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Derby, with their history, honours, expectations, catchment area, size of the city and the fact that they have a manager who was obviously capable at Burton (lots of clubs wanted him so hardly a gamble on an ex international) versus Latics? Not really a fair analagy is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldham's is around 219,600 - source Oldham's Joint Strategic Needs Assessment Of Health And Well Being 2008. Just pointing out how supporters, who have grown used to failure, can be inspired by a young promising manager who wants to prove himsef at a higher level. P.S. Joe is an ex-international.

Lags Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 DCFC says the demand for new season tickets is unprecedented. Derby isn't Oldham so no point trying to like for like with them. Oldham as a huge Asian population with no interest in football clubs. Oldham is one of the poorest towns in the North with mostly low paid jobs. This area as been deprived for decades with no help from the British governments of all sides to improve things. It's own council is pretty much useless. Whilst the big whammy the bulk of the white population follows Scum and Citdee on their TV's and their offspring are only naturally following.

Lowest crowd of the season this year was over 25000.. Whether or not the demand for season tickets is unprecedented they have been selling out most games regardless for the past few years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst the big whammy the bulk of the white population follows Scum and Citdee on their TV's and their offspring are only naturally following. Hasn't Derby got a large Asian population? I don't think they have significant Asian support, and there are plenty of other well-supported clubs in places with large Asian populations, and they don't either. If you take the borough of Oldham as a whole Asians are about 13%. The history of Derby County is quite different to ours, that's true, but they are far from being a glamour club. Our close proximity to Manchester is the kind of factor that they don't have to contend with, but we have seen in the past that we can increase our support significantly when the Oldham public considers that the club has a team worth supporting. The worrying thing is that, having been at the wrong end of the football league during the decades in which the structure and image of the game changed almost beyond recognition, we lost out financially to the extent that even much of the hardcore support no longer believes it possible that we can rise from this level and, if we don't, we'll have difficulty in attracting a new generation of fans.

LaticsPete Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 (edited) Not living in the area anymore it seems as though Oldham's sport generally is in a trough. Roughyeads are poorly supported, and I've just read that Oldham cricket has been on the verge of folding. The lack of strong community and political leadership over the last 20 years, the lack of regenerative intiatives the like of which have been seen elsewhere, damage the sense of community, and community motivation. It seems that there's a general apathy and malaise that's currently rooted in Oldham not just affecting Latics.

People are fed up with permanent under-achievement in sport and, more broadly, at Oldham's apparent falling behind the other towns surrounding Manchester in terms of general facilities. When you've been away for a while, the only place in the area that looks more run down and depressed than Oldham upon your return is Salford.

When was the last time you walked at and about around Oldham during the day? It doesn't matter whether you take it seriously or not, as you have an agenda of your own, which you can stick up your arse. The figures come from official staistics. They are approximate (it might be 14%, might be 12); do some research. (Awaits :censored:witted claim that the figures are rigged by the neo-communist Brown dictatorship.)
