oafcprozac Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Needs to be more, need tickets to be traceable in case of trouble and falling into wrong hands. I can see it kicking off big time given the start time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Ritchie Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 What about born and bred people from oldham that are Latics fans that dont live in Oldham anymore? They'll just count our fingers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering Bouzanis played for Liverpool a few of the Everton lot might know the answer to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latics and England Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Perhaps they should just ask the age old question... How many pints did Gregan have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaticsChris Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 If you add up the combined heights (in centimetres) and ages of Mark Innes, Phil Salt and Cristian Colusso what colour socks did we wear at York City in January 1998?

24hoursfromtulsehill Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 I thought this would be the case, especially as a policeman told me that Everton fans have a bad reputation and that they are expecting trouble on saturday, "Expecting trouble" means "expecting overtime", and "Bad reputation" means "justifying overtime", just as "Stabbing in the White Hart" means "no stabbing or incident of any kind in the White Hart". If anyone else needs any police-speak translation work doing, I'm here all day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm no more concerned about the possibility of getting beaten up or mugged on Saturday than I am any other day of the week in any other circumstances. If the worst comes to the worst, I'll consider whether it's worth my while engaging the services of the police, such as they are. It's not as simple as saying if you slag off the police you don't back them in anything they do. They're brave, they go in where most people wouldn't bother and they sometimes solve crimes, but they also take the piss on occasion, especially when it comes to football. We don't have to believe everything they say about potential threats either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Ritchie Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 I always want to know what they do with the footage they get of fans walking into grounds. I always imagine it is going to be put into some mammoth art project of football fans all over the land which will end up on youtube with start by the Jam as the soundtrack.

LOK Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 They are probably expecting trouble because plenty of fans were ejected from the Reebok when Everton played Bolton. It didn't help that Bolton had two full tiers nearly empty. It won't be like that at Oldham though because it'll be a sell out and it was easier to buy tickets for Bolton.

ghostofcecere Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 I usually purchase tickets from the ticket office a few days before the game, and pay for them with my debit card. After I'd done that the first time a few years ago, they now ask me to confirm my name and address before selling me the tickets. Why not ask everyone to do this, then when a big game comes up they will have a database of people who have purchased tickets before and thus "outsiders" will be stopped.

They only really do it for credit card purchases, possibly because someone has sold them a fast one in the process. Would work but the IT bods on here don't think it would be all that cost effective, as it's too time consuming and would need updating periodically.
