24hoursfromtulsehill Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 This Oldham side is pretty special Get the fans back to BP! I'll be there Satdi. Cannot wait. Ostensibly, I'm travelling up to see me ma me ma because she's broken her ankle, but I'm surely she'll understand if I disappear for a couple or three hours.

HarryBosch Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 We could do with a bit of hype from the Chron i think - that was THAT good the front page is warranted tomorrow, never mind the back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hype from the Chron - that well known friend of the club. Fat chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keep_the_faith Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 if we dont get the 2nd biggest crowd of the season on saturday, then we may have 2 finally resign ourselves to the fact that long term, oafc are doomed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Dagenham fans want to watch Dagenham - they'll bring about 50. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opinions4u Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 No Dagenham fans want to watch Dagenham - they'll bring about 50. I reckon they might bring 60, buoyed by four goals of their own tonight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keep_the_faith Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 after a performance and scoreline like that , id expect 5000 if we were playing breeze hill, im not saying it will happen but it will give an indication as to why so many are staying away , either way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oafc88 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 If we can't start picking attendances up over the rest of the season while performing for the majority of it like that, then quite frankly this town doesn't deserve a football club!

laticsmad Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 (edited) If we can't start picking attendances up over the rest of the season while performing for the majority of it like that, then quite frankly this town doesn't deserve a football club! I totally agree! However, in my opinion the only thing that will now suitably improve attendances is either promotion or a new stadium! Also, It was first game in 6 months due to working down south - very impressed! Edited February 1, 2011 by laticsmad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slurms mckenzie Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 (edited) Lets start with a few outed stay aways on here... Any of you want to come back on Saturday? Edited February 1, 2011 by slurms mckenzie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Sinnott Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 This Oldham side is pretty special Get the fans back to BP! I am one of the most pessimistic (realistic) person you will find about Latics, but I am literally creaming myself at that tidy little team that has been built.

cmon_oldham Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 What i dont get is that if we win on Saturday we will probably take tonights attendance to Huddersfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluearmyof1 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 This team have started to gel and are playing some of the best football seen for a long time at Boundary Park. Onwards and upwards! We've got ourselves a fantastic manager in Dickov and for the first time I now think we've got a real chance of promotion this season.

futchers briefs Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Enthusiasm, pace and energy in abundance - as that cider advert used to say. "What a refreshing change" Some of the movement from wide and central was top drawer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forte_Baby Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 I am so gutted i could not go tonight before the game i was telling people with all the recent transfer dealings there was a sign of optimism and good feeling around the club once again and i guess tonight has proved that.

Macca Posted February 2, 2011 Author Share Posted February 2, 2011 I wouldn't expect a huge increase in attendances straight away but so long as they keep going up then that can only be good. We aren't going to add 2000 onto the gate on Saturday. If we can get upto over 4000 then I'd be happy with that for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slystallone Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 What i dont get is that if we win on Saturday we will probably take tonights attendance to Huddersfield. Look around the stand on the 12th, and see how many faces you dont recognise from home & away games this season...........it will make up a massive number. Stay aways, mate's of mate's and people who just want to go on the piss and shout at Yorkshire folk will swell ours numbers. You're right though, we'll take our attendance from tonight, i think 3000 plus for the Hudds game.....nought you can do about it either; many will be going to their only game of the seaon on the 12th (unless we reach the play-off final, then they'll be out again) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattyg101 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 nought you can do about it either... I've said this before... Reduce ticket prices? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ackey Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I go to more away games than home. I can't afford to go as much as I'd like, buses from where I live to Oldham can take me well over an hour, I'd rather spend that on a train to X, Y or Z and have a good laugh - I see that as a day out and get my monies worth, not £40 to spend the day in Oldham.

Macca Posted February 2, 2011 Author Share Posted February 2, 2011 I've said this before... Reduce ticket prices? We'd end up losing more money as a result. The Sun newspaper are doing a promotion for 2 tickets for £19.50 for the Dagenham and Peterborough games. Have you looked into that? HUGE saving!

Frankly Mr Shankly Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 (edited) I go to more away games than home.

You're more than welcome to get the bus to Hollinwood and jump in my car if it makes the difference in going or not going. It really does feel a shame that so many Latics fans are missing out on what's happening with the team right now. Without a doubt, and this is no exaggeration, this season I've seen the best football played by us on a whole in the last 15 years. The fact that the Southampton game aside, we've not failed to score since a 0-0 draw at home to Colchester back in October, and even that was a great game, says it all. If it's genuine money issues, fair enough. And of course, people have their priorities. But I'm as skint as I've ever known myself to be (income gone slightly down since I took out my mortgage, petrol prices inctreasing to silly levels, wedding coming up in September) and at the moment I'm begging, borrowing and stealing what I can to make sure I see as much as I can. I just feel gutted my disposable income (Ha! what's that!?) levels aren't sufficiant enough for me to attend away games too!
