Daboke Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 There are plenty of conspiracy theories thrown about these days and I've just had one spring to mind... The reason we always lose at boundary park is that paying away fans bring in the much needed revenue to keep the club running. Many Oldham fans have already bought there ticket and not many (no actual truth or factual evidence in that) pay on the door. Therefore, if away teams know they are going to a ground where it's a guaranteed win they will fork out their money. They will spend their cash on different amenities within Oldham - possible influence from the community (again - completely unfounded statement) A loss at home = away fans happier = more money brought into BP and Oldham = club continues to run. There may be other aspects to this as our odds at winning games will reduce so that later in the season we can put lots of money on a game atr the bookies - OAFC will play as they know they can and the whole of the Oldham fan base can have a merry christmas (or Easter depending how late they leave it) with lots of money in their pockets. P.S. This is all a consipracy theory and has no bases of truth in it whatsoever. I type this in jest to all the other stupid consiparcy theories out there. Oldham are losing at home due to being not very good.... not a theory. P.P.S. The world will not end in 2012. I will put everything I own on that.

wozz_oafc Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Talking of conspiracy theories, I wonder what the odds on Oldham not scoring 4 games in a row have been? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That the world is set to end in 2012 might be a preposterous idea based on a misinterpretation of 'the Mayan calendar,' and put about by New Age acid casualties and foaming right-wing conspiraloons amongst others. But it is not in itself a conspiracy theory. So what's it got to do with the rest of what you wriite here?

RoytonLatics Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 I think either Poggers has cursed us, cant remember us getting anywhere near as good a home record as we did in his first season, didn't we loose like once/twice at home all season, and correct me if im wrong but didn't Pogs keep 21 clean sheets that year too?

This was due to me having just watched the movie just before writing the post - it was that which made me think of various other theories which in turn made my brain come up with my rediculous consipary theory.... Hope this clears it up for you. Thank you for your post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaskedOwl Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Talking of conspiracy theories, I wonder what the odds on Oldham not scoring 4 games in a row have been? I almost put a bet on us not scoring last game. Seriously thinkin of doing so this weekend. We won't score unless we are lucky. Sad, but true.

No, nor me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
