Diego_Sideburns Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 The West Bank was ruled by Jordan when he was born, them having stolen it in 1948. It wasn't stolen by Israel until 1967. Can't really blame the Chron for once Consistency in three Chrons or correction in one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeylandLatic Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Oldham fans - desperate, yet cautious. Ok so nothing has happened and nothing is going to happen but people really wish something was happening so they just keep talking about it? This seems like a good plan.

leeslover Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Consistency in three Chrons or correction in one.Correct what though? He was born in what is now usually referred to as Palestine but was then ruled by the kingdom of Jordan. He very likely is or was a Jordanian citizen. I've known people from that background who would describe themselves either way depending on the situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaticMark Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 (edited) Once upon a time: http://www.cnplus.co.uk/news/oldham-gives-go-ahead-for-stadium/948366.article Oldham gives go-ahead for stadium 6 June, 1996 "A 15 MILLION plan to build a new municipal sports stadium in Oldham is gathering momentum. After considering the proposal since last year, the council has finally submitted a planning application. Arguments raged over the grounds capacity, but the council eventually settled on a 15,000-seater ground at a 7 ha site in Chadderton. The Stadium Business Park will also include a restaurant, leisure centre, 8,000 sq m of offices and a small hotel. The Westwood athletics track must be relocated before work starts on the stadium and the council has submitted another application for a new track, also in Chadderton. Oldham Bears rugby league team will play at the new stadium, but the towns football club has not yet agreed to join the scheme. If Oldham Athletic stays at Boundary Park, the ground's capacity will drop to 10,000 and the cost to 7.5 million." We've been discussing a new stadium (on and off) for at least 18 years!

GlossopLatic Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 In years to come they will tell great tales of the man who discovered a 30 acre site to build a sports stadium with an Oldham postcode and additional recreational facilities. Who can then fight off the nimbys who aim to protect the lesbian tadpoles of south East Lancashire before conquering the ultimate beast and obtain planning permission from Oldham council His name will go down in history as the great saviour of our town and every child born on that day will be named after him.

Midsblue Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 We just need some good luck, which is why so many are drawling over all these rumours. One multi-millionaire almost killed this club whereas another two came along and bailed us out. Unsure whether the incumbent is a millionaire but Koucash is apparently a multi-millionaire with 'connections' to facilitate a project to deliver us Championship football. It's about time our fortunes were reversed and we got promoted from this damned division! We live in hope... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldhamFanatic1 Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 My first ever post on here, so don't be too harsh with me please. Just an opinion on the Koukash situation. As much as i'd love him to come in and spend some money on latics, I just can't see it happening. I could be wrong, but I think it's a publicity stunt on his part. As much as I hate to admit it, theres no real potential to make the club that much bigger. Even if we were doing well in the Championship, I doubt that we'd average 10,000 every home game. Everyone in Oldham these days supports City or United. Very sad. They should support their local club. Koukash surely must realise this as well.

Personally, as i'm sat here avoiding work , i think old Kooky has a not very hidden aganda. Buy a club on the cheap, pump a bit of dosh in, and then start to get involved in Football League politics. Who knows, it might lead to things like influencing future television deals. Of course, a nice new stadium cobbled on the back of a regeneration project to cut down his own costs, would also give him some asset that might allow him to claw something back should it all prove pointless. Wild speculation, but it beats work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About 12 months ago, Corney offered the club lock, stock and barrel to the agent of one of our players for £1m. The agent thought that he was grossly overvaluing the football club, so turned him down. I won't be naming the player but it's true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
