rudemedic Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Tbh...I think today's match drove a lot to drink...in fact thinking about it myself but as I Cycled down to BP, I didn't fancy being arrested for drunk in charge of a bike cycling back up Broadway. Looked to be well organised, had a marquee set up at the back of the RRE with Dr Kershaws on them. So well done to them for coming over and those oldhamers for sorting it too.... Wonder what we could take over to them....our starting 11 and leaving them there I'm fairly certain I've told you this before- there is no drink cycling limit- the drink drive limit only applies to drivers. If you are fit to cycle then that's enough to escape charges. Presumably the cops would instigate a sobriety test like the cops in the US (used to) do to test the drunkenness.

oafc21 Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Was there any left at the end of the game? I did see a post on Twitter indicating that it had sold out by HT, but the source may not be at reliable.it didn't sell out before ht but I didn't see any left when I left the ground when the 4th goal went in,big shout out to them for the fund raising and creating a good vibe for once at the back of the RRE, just a shame the players couldn't have the same enthusiasm on the pitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jorvik_latic Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 It had sold out before the start of the second half. £2,400 raised just from the cider if the 600 litres figure is right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SavageTheBeast Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 It had sold out before the start of the second half. £2,400 raised just from the cider if the 600 litres figure is right. Around 600 cans sold so around the 1200 mark. Sold out about 5 minutes Into half time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monty Burns Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Cost £200 to buy them, £200 to transport and to customs. Rest goes to Dr Kershaws plus money raised from the bucket collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About 30 years ago a guy who owned a Delli in Royton was on the front of the Chron for being drunk in charge of a Grocers bike on Broadway,he put it down to the newly imported Becks bier her had tried out on its arrival. £60.00 fine, not a bad rate for front page advertising though!

Diego_Sideburns Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 It was 600 cans each of slightly less than a pint. The sale of the apfelwein and commemorative t-shirts, and collection box donations raised almost £1,500 for Dr. Kershaw's Hospice. Well done to all those who worked hard to make it such a big success. Also well done Latics, the North Stand Contractor, Police and Club Officials for allowing the Eintracht Frankfurt fans into the North Stand seats after the game, under a special dispensation, for a photo-shoot in recognition of the charity event.

Diego_Sideburns Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 This is the Latics Supporters' team which played the Eintracht Frankfurt Supporters' team in the Final of the International Football Supporters' Competition in Paris all those years ago. The Germans won on penalties.....sound familiar? Left to right: Back row: Brian Talbot, Malcolm Siddal, Dave Shaw, Steve White Middle row: Brian ?, Les Eccles, Dennis McElhatton, Bob Isaacs, John McElhatton Front row: Paul Whitehead, Carl Lonsdale, Pete McElhatton, Mike Holt, Gus Green .

I can seee the club helped a lot, eg tour of the new stand etc, it would be wonderful to cement this special relationship on a more official footing as well. THough I guess part of the reason it is special is that it is unofficial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THough I guess part of the reason it is special is that it is unofficial. On a point of accuracy, they were not given a tour of the new stand, only being allowed to go into the seats for the pictures. The Oldham Adlers were not allowed in to avoid anyone thinking they were being given priority treatment over other Latics fans..............as though anyone would think that. It was made clear that it was under a special dispensation, organised by the Contractor, Police and OAFC officials in recognition of the charity event.

4froale Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 That cider was quite nice to be fair, much better than the likes of strongbow and magners. That bird who was with them was a bit attractive aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4froale Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 not exactly setting the bar high there I was comparing it to a similar priced drink over here. For a £1 a can or whatever it cost, it was a nice drink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
