razza699 Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Latics reserves will have no player older than 19 years in this afternoon's Lancashire Senior Cup, first-round tie against Morecambe at Boundary Park, kick off two o'clock. It will be very much a team of young professionals and trainees as no established players are included in the line up. Wow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldhamains Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Didn't the club stop people from posting latics wallpaper's because official website was going to do some. Still have seen any from the official site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oafcprozac Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 (edited) Just facebook instead No, why the :censored: should the club dictate? Unless the club block the 3g signal they've no chance of stopping people posting updates. I mean FFS if the Media department did 10% (no gripe aimed at Gordon) of what other clubs did then there'd be no problem. Latics World still has no archive, still has no classic matches and we're still not getting the extended highlights yet we continue to be mugged off for £3.99 a month….Twitter updates should be the least of the clubs problems. The official site is simply used as a begging bowl instead of people getting on the phone and selling stuff….and you're not telling me a few Twitter updates is going to impact the club more than when they binned the scoreboard or sourced out catering, programmes and the lottery? And don't get me started on LP failing (AGAIN!!!!!) with 30 seconds to go last night, but Walsall's was fine…..

Crusoe Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 (edited) If we had a decent, up to date website with good, timely content, rather than a collection of brief notes, incomplete player profiles and swathes of intrusive advertising and offer/discount/betting stories, maybe people would want to use it to keep in touch. Seems a particularly petty request from the club. Edited September 14, 2011 by Crusoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie_J Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Didn't the club stop people from posting latics wallpaper's because official website was going to do some. Still have seen any from the official site. The club asked a member on here to take down his wallpapers as they wanted to use them on the official site. And they are yet to appear on the official site, some two months later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems a particularly petty request from the club. Hang on ... it's a Latics' reserve team match, not the Champions League. Memo to OAFC, we're not on many peoples radar when the first team play never mind the reserves #getreal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

singe Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Pretty poor decision. The only way redeem this is for Gary to do this bit and it feature on the fishul, otherwise it is show it as process over people. At my Mao. Work I cannot follow twitter as it blocked so this is the only way We know the premium tv is locked down so there is zero chance anything like this will occur. I feel an email coming on...

singe Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 It's just occurred to me, do the Latics player's tweets detract traffic from the club website too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Museum de Latique Posted September 15, 2011 Author Share Posted September 15, 2011 Totally agree, twitter is an additional form of communication, not a replacement. I don't think the club are embracing this enough. I saw it as complementary to the OS and it would have sent more traffic to read the reports.

palmer1 Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Still baffled by this from Latics, How to lose fans and alienate people If we lose fans becuase of this then they are not fans! just gives people another reason to moan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc0000 Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 If the club want to stop the fans doing this then they should at least have an alternative to offer in my humble opinion... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
