leeslover Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 I remember that as one of the more dismal 3 0 wins I've seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disjointed Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 £2 ticket. That bastard game got me and o4u Jr hooked. Don't even think about how much that £2 ticket has cost you since then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

opinions4u Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 (edited) As in first ever game or following abstinence o4u?I grew up in Stockport and used to watch County on a Friday night and Utd or City on the Saturday. Then got in the habit of using the 400 bus so took in any of Bolton, Bury, Dale or Latics as the bus fare was only 10p. Grew up. Married an Oldham lass. Reproduced. Skintness and work commitments cost me the football bug. I got to the odd Latics game including the Dowie play-off season and the win over City, but it was the 3-0 win that got me and the lad hooked and fairly quickly progressed to season ticket and messageboard addiction. So while the lad has it in his blood (within minutes of him being born I raised him to the window of the maternity ward to show him Boundary Park) it's something I've grown into as an outsider. Don't even think about how much that £2 ticket has cost you since then.Just don't! Edited January 13, 2014 by opinions4u Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You made a conscious decision to support Latics as an adult! Crazy man ;-). Least your lad was born in Oldham, he could've been going to Edgeley Park every other Saturday.

He could have chosen a bigger team if he'd wanted. But once he'd chosen Latics I thought it was fair to encourage it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When your pissed off over a Tuesday night there you are well beyond the point of no return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudemedic Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 That's great. And people say the cheap games don't work...Our results record in them could be a lot better. IIRC Hillstones were responsible for that cheap game, they went bust a few short years later. The same applies to the cup games, all those moaning about not being able to get a seat because day-trippers went, if one of those day-trippers becomes a regular then the allocation system worked, especially as we sold out.
