Now that the game is on a Friday night...


Recommended Posts

How many do you think we'll take now considering many people working and commitments etc?

6,000 (or whatever our allocation is) it might be a different 6000 with more day-trippers but we will take the same. Most people working 9 to 5 in Greater Manchester/ West Yorkshire/ Lancashire will still be able to get there without taking any extra time off.

How many did we take to Tranmere under Ronnie moore on a friday? A good 2,000 - at least.

 

There isn't any reason anyone finishing at 5 who is from Oldham or the surrounding area can't make it. What they might not be able to do is get pissed and have make a day of it.

Liverpool have had some good crowds for night matches against lower division opposition in recent years, I would expect at least 30,000.

Not wishing to be gloomy, but there's one thing maybe to consider - the weather, even if the pitch is playable access to the ground if it's knee deep in snow might mean a postponement.

The difference is now you can make a night of it instead.

I love the optimism on this thread but I dont think we will take more than 4,000.

 

I will be there but have spoke to 3 or 4 today who cant make it and I think there will be quite a lot the same!

 

Hope I am wrong!

More than true.

 

We've sold out games we've been to on a Friday before. We always take good numbers to Tranmere. This is a bigger game that people want to go to. You have three hours after five to make a one hour trip if you work until five.

 

you have three weeks to get a day off work/ swap shifts/ get a baby sitter.

 

The trains will be more frequent than a Sunday.

 

Please stop moaning about the night of the game. If we had them at Boundary park and took them to a replay you would all go to Anfield on the Tuesday night.

 

Let's just have a laugh eh? And watch a famous victory.

Why would there be more "day-trippers". I'm intrigued as to the the etymology of the phrase; has it now officially supplanted "glory hunters"?

Surely in modern day Greater Manchester/East Lancashire, the term glory hunter can not apply to a person who goes to watch Oldham Athletic (generally). Maybe more so if we got to the JPT Final as we have a decent chance of winning something, but not to a game where chances are we will get whupped.

To quote, and slightly paraphrase, a line from my forthcoming film:

 

It's one weird @?*&^% who hunts glory in a place like this

I was only going off a lot of the comments on here about people not being able to go on the Friday- I assume that anyone who posts on here supports Oldham aside from a few League 1 exceptions.

 

Day-trippers includes glory hunters- so every glory hunter is a day-tripper but not every day-tripper is a glory hunter. Jimsleftfoot summed up the key anomaly in describing any Oldham fan as a glory hunter.
