jimsleftfoot Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 The only football match my wife as ever attended! Says more about my wife than the match! My mother's only match was the League Cup Final in 1990. She heard the 'Ooh Roger Palmer' chans and asked 'why are they singing who robbed your father'?

beag_teeets Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Costs £10 to get in to see us v York on Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceStationLatic Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 I asked my neutral mate, who had no idea about this friendly, what he would expect ticket prices to be if he was a Latics fan. I said City likely to field a handful of their top players - which is the most likely outcome. His response, taking into account prices for other friendlies around the country, was: "Premier League champions. That's a glamour friendly for Oldham. I'd expect tickets to cost £20." When I said they will be £15 he was surprised, but he did think season ticket holders could have been given tickets for £10, or some form of benefit. So seems like £15 is a meet in the middle price for everyone, which is sensible. Because how many non-season ticket holders and City fans would go if they had to pay £20 to compensate season ticket holders going for £10 or less - if that price structure was allowed? Making money is one thing, but the club at least needs to break even from a home friendly against the Premier League champions, otherwise that would be madness.

Diego_Sideburns Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 I seem to remember playing ManUre at BP in a friendly, only for people to be disappointed that it was a team of youngsters that we'd never heard of. Latics couldn't get the ball off them, lost 5-0 and the youngsters went on to become household names. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

opinions4u Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Not read the whole thread. But £15 towards a game the extends goodwill with the best side in England, who let us have the occasional loan player. I'm in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ritchie82 Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 I've voted you down, not because of your post, but because of your sickening sig. Probably the most insensitive one I've seen on here. I marked yours up as I am guessing your a little flower who likes to be loved. Funny old world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristolatic Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 (edited) I marked yours up as I am guessing your a little flower who likes to be loved. Funny old world. Not getting into a row over this, it's turned into a hijack, but read my post on the 'Mods' thread. It just might sink in. Nothing more to say on the subject.

oafcprozac Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 We only lost that 2-0 and the 'kids' had already been assimilated into the United set-up as it was the season 'where you don't win anything with kids' …………..except the double….

oafc-latics Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Roque Santa Cruz and Emmanuel Adebayor are training with the reserves until they get new clubs.. any possibility they would play? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudemedic Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Roque Santa Cruz and Emmanuel Adebayor are training with the reserves until they get new clubs.. any possibility they would play? Actually that's a good shout- as neither have gone off on the tour. Provided they aren't sold by then I can see them playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singe Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Roque Santa Cruz and Emmanuel Adebayor are training with the reserves until they get new clubs.. any possibility they would play? Ony a pay per play basis for one game, good idea. As they are not contracted to City, I don't see how City can stop them playing for us against them, no.... : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldhamoafc Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I get the impression Adebayor is off to spurs so doubtful. However SantaCruz maybe! God knows who will be in the XI but will sure test us. Maybe we could scout a couple and knick um on loan! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaticsPete Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 (edited) Roque Santa Cruz and Emmanuel Adebayor are training with the reserves until they get new clubs.. any possibility they would play? Out-of-favour Manchester City forward Roque Santa Cruz, 30, wants to remain in the north west as he seeks new club. Full story: Daily Mail So that's us or Fleetwood then ?
