footy68 Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Can't be too far away now. Just a shame we didn't get more. Wish someone would have put a knife through that drum they had as well I agree with the drum. If they didn't have that you wouldn't hear a murmur. Cardiff brought half the amount and made twice the noise. Sheff Wed and Stoke were deafening. All without drums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheff Wed and Stoke were deafening. All without drums. Yet we have been to some places and I'm sure they told the lad who takes ours that he can't bring it in. Stop being so nice Latics!

Rocky_Latic Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Apparently at 12.00 my mate drove past and there was no-one there apart from 1 lad walking away who said there was 180 left ? They'll be gone by closing time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ackey Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 S_W... you must have been right behind me then mate... should have said 'ello! I spent up until about 8am on the corner of the RRE - where them runny bricks pop out the floor to stop scumbags getting over the wall... just where they ended at the top of the little hill.

How can that entire queue have been served? I'd have said there was about 600 people in it minimum and when people are buying anything upto 20 tickets each that's crazy!

Diego_Sideburns Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Chron reporter ' What's your name?' ROAM: it's errr, Richard Oldham Athletic Metcalfe Reporter : What is it really? Priceless Here's tonight's Chron report: Superfan Richard heads the queue PICTURE TOO! Caption: EARLY START . . . (front, from left) Richard Oldham Athletic Metcalfe and Andrew Swain were first in line HOPEFUL Latics fans set up camp at Boundary Park in the early hours of this morning in a bid to get a ticket to see their team take on Blackpool in the second leg of their League One play-off clash. By 7.30 this morning around 700 fans — some kitted out with sleeping bags, camping chairs and giant umbrellas — were snaked around the Sheepfoot Lane stadium, despite Latics 2-1 first leg defeat at home yesterday. Unsurprisingly, it was superfan Richard Oldham Athletic Metcalfe who was first in the queue at 1am. And Richard, who changed his middle name from Andrew by deed poll in 2005, reckons his beloved team still have a fighting chance. “They were really below par in yesterday’s game, but it’s only half time, so it’s all to play for” he said. His friend, Patrick Carwood, who also joined the queue at 1am, was less optimistic, but said: “I wouldn’t miss this game for the world. Whatever the outcome, I really want to be there.” Only 1,800 tickets will be available for Latics fans wanting to see the team bid to overturn the deficit in the second leg at Blackpool’s Bloomfield Road ground on Saturday. If they manage to claim overall victory they will face either Nottingham Forest or Yeovil at the new Wembley Stadium on Sunday, May 27 — with the winner being promoted to the Championship.

I spent up until about 8am on the corner of the RRE - where them runny bricks pop out the floor to stop scumbags getting over the wall... just where they ended at the top of the little hill. Honestly didnt see you mate, ended up chatting to about 6 people around me. Passed the time fairly quickly. Yes was on the corner of the RRE at around 8ish.
