loonylatik Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 The scousers turned out on a Friday night, to pottentially keep us in business last year. In my mind reward them a little and guarentee a full RRE instead of taking a chance on Latics fans crawling out from everywhere and complaining on ticketing policies etc... The dwindling home support should be catered for by the 7000 or so left over, if not so be it thats life, whatever happens the grumbling brigade will be out force .... Anyway watch out for number 2 when we are in the 5th round draw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie_J Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 I disagree and think we should try to pack the ground with Latics fans but I expect we'll give them the whole RRE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loonylatik Posted January 6, 2013 Author Share Posted January 6, 2013 Turned out to watch us, would have been easy to stay at home, like the Forest support, oh and a lot of our fans to our home games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palmer1 Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 They turned up to watch themselves and some (a small minority) where accused of racial abuse at one of ours we wouldnt have gone out of business if that game hadnt happened they deserve no reward, give them the small section and beat them out of the cup!

NewBlue Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 They turned out to see some goals, for them. Couldn't give a :censored: about us. Why would we lose out on the chance to get more potential fans into the stadium? Yes, we are guarenteed they'll fill the RRE but if we get an extra 2000 Latics fans there and 10 of them become regulars that were exiles before then it's worth risking not selling out (even though I know we would). I can't see why you want to treat them like they're more deserving than us. Make it a hostile atmosphere at a bitterly cold Boundary Park and get at 'em. Why so much respect? We want to WIN this match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancy lad Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 I want BP full of home support, but unlikely. Have you not read the 10 other threads, going on about how people deserve at least 4 tickets because they once went to an away game and they named their first pet after Ged Keegan? We would sell 10,000 for this if we could. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loonylatik Posted January 6, 2013 Author Share Posted January 6, 2013 I have little respect for them at ALL. They turned out in big numbers to watch their team when it would be easy not too. I hope we can sell 10k, but people are saying we will only sell 3 /4 thousand season tickets at reduced rates, so where are the glory hunters week in week out. Possibly on TV so a lot will do the easy thing and watch in the pub or at home, and then we may want to give them more to get the cash in.

Prob more to do with the cup scheme and loyalty system in order to get a ticket for the later rounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudemedic Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Didn't they turn up because it was a Friday night so half of Ireland and Wiltshire couldn't go, and it was £25 when normally its £35 and all their remaining home games had sold out. Liverpool fans didn't turn up at Anfield on a Friday night to help us out. They turned up to see some of their players play a game of football. They didn't give us 15% of their ground we shouldn't give them any more than we have to if we can fill it with fans supporting Oldham.

Lags Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 What % of the capacity do we have to hand over? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonesyOAFC Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 15% I think. And that's all they should get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opinions4u Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 There were nearly 40,000 Scousers turned out. Let's give them the whole of Boundary Park this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudemedic Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 What % of the capacity do we have to hand over? You are supposed to give 15% but you can give less for segregation purposes- there was a big kerfuffle over City giving United roughly 11% last year. That is roughly the small section of the RRE.

JonesyOAFC Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 There were nearly 40,000 Scousers turned out. Let's give them the whole of Boundary Park this time. Well, maybe 20,000 Scousers... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
