Lukers1 Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 How have they become a real force? I know they had a great year but I thought after the collaspe of the new owners ( what a joke that was) they nearly went bust and ended up being bought by the ex Director of Lincoln City and have no cash? Anyway I have probably given them the kiss of death and will gain 3 points at BP tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafcmatty Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 What I want to know is , have they been given the whole RRE or just the large section? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opinions4u Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 What I want to know is , have they been given the whole RRE or just the large section? I though Latics fans had the small bit. But you really would expect the fishal site to clarify this with a front page article on the day before the match! I can't quickly and easily find a link under "tickets" or "match". Anyone able to clarify? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc1955 Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 (edited) I though Latics fans had the small bit. But you really would expect the fishal site to clarify this with a front page article on the day before the match! I can't quickly and easily find a link under "tickets" or "match". Anyone able to clarify? Pretty sure County were allocated the large section as they were expecting to bring a large following.........I don't think they will bring enough to fill the smaller section and would suggest that the fans will have been moved for nothing..........we shall see! Anybody have any indications of their expected turn out? Edited August 13, 2010 by oafc1955 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b0ndl1ne Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Not sure of the turnout but they got spanked of Hudders and just as bad against Plymouth where they were lucky to win. Their defense is paceless, we should have a field day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone able to clarify? as i understood it they have been given the big section only,and we can go in the small section... you cant find anything on the official site since they changed the format early this week...if it aint broke dont fix it i say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz_Oafc Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 (edited) Do we need to exchange tickets or can we use our season tickets to get into the small section of RRE? I went and got my season ticket the other day but they didnt mention anythin about moving at the ticket office.

Anyway I have probably given them the kiss of death and will gain 3 points at BP tomorrow. They got some promotion money last season. And they was getting crowds of around 6,000 regularly then towards end of the season between 7,000 and 10,000 fans (10,000 on a tuesday night i might add...) and had 10,000 fans in the ground of hudders game, so am guessing that was around 7,000 fans? Probably enough to fund players wages (& schemical has left and it was reported he was on £15,000 a week) ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Dowds Green Shirt Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 I get all that but they were on the verge of admin?. Whats changed? What I still don't get is that League 2 is the subject of a formal wage cap and County clearly breached it by some distance last season. (Maximum spend to income ratio allowed being 60% yet County were at 300%+) So how come they have not been charged/punished by the Football League?

Lukers1 Posted August 13, 2010 Author Share Posted August 13, 2010 The guy who bought the club, has paid off various bills etc I dont think the ex director of Lincoln City would be that flush. Something smells and I wouldnt be supprised if it un- ravelled into a mess this season. I tend to agree with Harry,. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

opinions4u Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 they're expected to bring 800 fans tomorrow they're expected to bring 800 fans tomorrow For clarity, is that 800 in the small bit of the RRE and 800 in the big bit? Or two lots of 800 in the big bit? Or two lots of 800 in the small bit? Or was it just a duplicate post? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc1955 Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 they're expected to bring 800 fans tomorrow So at a guess they have probably sold around 400/500 advance tickets and it seems our season ticket holders have been forced to move for nothing! The small portion of the RRE would have been more than adequate.................they were never going to bring in excess of 1300 anyway.

Tommy_Fent Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 I'm only quoting what a Notts County fan said to me earlier on today they haven't quoted any official figures, but he was shocked that they were given priority over the large section Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oafcforever Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Surely not that bigger problem for the club to change their mind and put them in small end, as we'll probably have more in the Rocky Road end than them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laticsmarra Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 It does look like something of a misjudgement, me thinks. Or another example of mismanagement. They are about as in touch with Latics fans as Capello is with the England team ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaticMark Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 they're expected to bring 800 fans tomorrow Only 800. I think we expected them to bring around twice that figure. I presume County fans can make a late decision to attend the game and pay on the gate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaticsPete Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Or another example of mismanagement. They are about as in touch with Latics fans as Capello is with the England team ! The club asked Notts County for an estimate of how many they would bring. As is common practice . Notts County obviously overestimated. Nothing to do with OAFC being out of touch with Latics fans.
