NewBlue Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Good point about RRE made by @BDDunbar. 15% of capacity is 1,595 so could get away with small section. Just. #oafc Possibility for us to have the large section, increase Latics fans getting the chance to go. If Liverpool were to have the large section then we wouldn't be allowed the small section but vice versa might be okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KYLEOAFC Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 (edited) Why The hell should we give Liverpool anything less than 4600? If we have the 3000 you will only get Liverpool fans in other areas. Those 'Latics fans' who cant get a ticket for this tough by a season ticket!! We need to maximise the revenue for this game with the lowest number of police and stewards and on police advice should be Liverpool full 4600 end of discussion. Those extra glory hunting oldham 'fans' wont come back to a 3rd division tuesday night game so why cost us more money making sure they can come? The people of oldham havent supported us at home all year or for the past 10! Edited January 6, 2013 by KYLEOAFC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
real Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 That would leave 9000 tickets for home fans. i bet there are not 9000 different people who have attended a game at BP since Dickov became manager. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The people of oldham havent supported us at home all year or for the past 10! Will it? Judging by the demand for this game last season, they best get down to BP at 4 in the morning to queue up like many Tics will when it goes on open sale. How many dya reckon will treck over from Liverpool to do that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The people of oldham havent supported us at home all year or for the past 10! Fantastic idea. Lets alienate those who don't come at the moment. Lets miss a good opportunity to try to source more fans. You don't have to be a thoroughbred Latics fan to attend a home game. So lets not mess this opportunity up. What have we got to lose? If we give Liverpool the 4600 seats then we have NO chance of finding new fans, if we give more tickets to exiles and stayaways and 5 of them start attending regularly again then it's been worth it.

Harry Dowds Green Shirt Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Not a chance, they'll get the full the stand. I believe that Liverpool will get the large section only and we will have the small section. This will be a police cat A game in any event so there is no reason why the stand can't be split Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAYESY Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 You moan when we don't have enough people coming to games to watch Oldham. And now there's a chance to get more 'fans' to come to Oldham you moan and turn them away. Why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyPimp Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Splitting the RRE will lose us money due to segregation issues. If giving Liverpool the Chaddy is an option, I'd do that. Otherwise, get your Thermos' at the ready you non-season ticket scum. Mwahhahaha! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaddy holds 3,500 and the large section of the RRE 3,000. In any case that will not happen full stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The people of oldham havent supported us at home all year or for the past 10! Somewhat simplistic. I attend 50 per cent of games these days because of travel etc. I'll bet I spend at least as much as some of the STs. It's at least £65 a shout for me, but hey ho, hollier than thou ST....

Harry Dowds Green Shirt Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Out of interest, are there logistical reasons for this? Would have to be done via the safety advisory committee. (police & Council basically) consultaion would be needed and this all takes time. And we all know how quickly the Council move Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Ritchie Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 The more people who turn up and enjoy it the more chance we have of people coming back in the future. We aren't going to make many people and we don't need people to turn up to every game. What we need is a lot more fair weather fans who will turn up every few weeks because they have nothing better to do. Then they can slowly get into the habit.

oafc-latics Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Liverpool will guarantee 4600 tickets sold. And although it is likely to be full capacity anyway, there's less guarantee that Oldham fans would fill the section and there'd be seats cordoned off to avoid it kicking off. We need as much money from this cup run as possible, and giving the scousers the RRE will guarantee more of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KYLEOAFC Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 I am not bitter I just lack empathy or sympathy to the glory hunting latics fans. How many of those extra fans that went to liverpool being part of the 6200 do we see at boundary park? I am firmly against any increase in home tickets that results in extra costs to the club and would back corney if he wanted to maximise this fixture in terms of revenue that happens to mean a reduction in home support. I apologise if anyone is offended by the ‘I am alright jack’ attitude but Oldham fans that have stayed away deserve nothing from the club IMO and we wouldn't hear a whisper from them if we had been beat yesterday!

Chaddy holds 3,500 and the large section of the RRE 3,000. In any case that will not happen full stop. We've previously had to cordon off a number of seats between the large and small sections and if this happened we'd be chucking money away. If this doesn't have to happen then happy days, let's keep the big bit for us. As has been suggested on another thread, put vouchers on the gate for the Brentford game. If nothing else it will give us an indication of demand from the home fans. I appreciate that we have a number of exiled fans but they are small in number compared to those who live locally.
