BP1960 Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 (edited) Huh? The link is the Latics looking for sponsors for a tour, but apparently haven't found any, my assumption is FC United have. Edited May 26, 2013 by BP1960 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Fairly certain that FC co-owners pay for it, not sponsorship money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forte_Baby Posted May 28, 2013 Author Share Posted May 28, 2013 (edited) I see FC United have arranged friendlies against Babelsburg and Dresden in Germany at the end of May/early June, so I guess they have found some sponsors. They have toured Germany before pretty sure they played Lokomotive Leipzig a few seasons back. Edited May 28, 2013 by oafctom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 They have toured Germany before pretty sure they played Lokomotive Leipzig a few seasons back. Marburg and St.Pauli too. FC get invited to play goodwill games over there every two years or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latics and England Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 I see FC United have arranged friendlies against Babelsburg and Dresden in Germany at the end of May/early June, so I guess they have found some sponsors. But why? What is the point of friendlies in May/June. It just sounds like a jolly to me (not that I am against a jolly, mind). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dresden was a wash out. Babelsburg asked FC if they could play over there in a game which was included as part of a local festival (ULTRASH) at night and street party with live bands.

If Germans clubs could be bought simliar to English clubs you would say Dresden would appeal being one of the most successful clubs in the old East Germany League.Being a massive City also big catchment area Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rudemedic Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 There is a bit of me that thinks this might have an underlying link to the Cisak situation. But that could be the tin-foil hat wearing bit of my psyche. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafcprozac Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 (edited) Oldham Athletic are pleased to announce their Pre-Season Tour 2013 We're going on a tour………………………. Ashton United Mossley Stalybridge Droylsden Curzon Ashton New manager Lee Johnson is said to be delighted of the club's Pre-Season tour of Tameside, excursions to Portland Basin, Hyde Water Park and a meal at The Hartshead have already been booked. The Village Hotel Ashton Moss and Nandos are said to be excited at the opportunity to host the Oldham Athletic Touring Party... Of course the club have insisted on economising in travel costs, the whole team will be travelling in comfort in First Bus' excellent new fleet of 409s, now every 37 seconds to ferry them to their Ashton Moss Base, although the final leg will have to be a 1/2 mile yomp via the new M & S outlet. To break such a gruelling journey Don Corney will spring for £1.50 breakfasts at IKEA for the whole party. Contingency plans are in place for those players who cannot follow floor arrows and may get lost within the sprawling store. The club have asked for 8 players per room at the Villages and the hotel chain are delighted to accommodate the club's request of bunk beds. Manager Lee Johnson has explained the players are free to sample the excellent local night life and will expect 'banana ratings' on each and every one of the Summer Blockbusters - including Monsters Inc II…as he isn't tall enough to get in to see it….. Manager Johnson said of the Pre-Season venues, "If Hurst Cross was good enough for Ian Olney to break his ankle, and for Brian Talbot to give his team of turds a run out at Stalybridge - it's good enough for my lot. We'll be conducting scientific experiments on each and every player, such as how many Shrimps can Alex Cisak put on a barbie, how many donuts can big Jean get round his old chap, and how many different suits can I wear in a week…." "All in all, it will be a good work out for the young kids too and if players like young Glenn, Joe Cooper and Danny Gossett step out of line then we can threaten them with their parents coming to pick them up…and grounding them for the rest of pre-season" Chairman Simon Corney from his luxury Caribbean retreat, sponsored by ITV Transmissions Said, "It's a great choice, it's costing me :censored: all this tour, except a few weekly bus tickets, and a few cinema tickets and all the coaches have Orange 2 4 1 Wednesday anyway, but the trip it makes sense we're not cost cutting - the Latvia trip would have been much cheaper, I mean it's 7p a pint over the there and luxury flights alone with Easy Jet would have been at least £4 return…." Whilst it's not breaking the bank, I could have gone 16 per room and had them sleeping on the floor, but then there's the sleeping bag outlay, £13 for the bus for a week each is pushing the boat out a bit. Johnson suggested the Tram but I told him I wasn't made of :censored:ing money! The players will get all the nutrition they need on the tour - plenty of tap water, crab apples and i've photocopied loads of KFC coupons. It'll be a trip to remember and just the preparation we need for our promotion push next year…." Manager Lee Johnson on hearing Corney's words, simply picked up his phone, silently dialled, before murmuring…."Dad………….." So some truth in this all along......Glossop, now Curzon Ashton....can't see Big Jean's party piece being demonstrated or Cisak's barbecuing abilities being showcased so maybe we'll have to settle for how quickly Schidney can roll a fat one and maybe Jonson Clarke Harris can show his ability of being able to break a mirror just by smiling in it......
