unsworthlatic Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 There is nothing wrong with "whats it like to see a crowd". That is if you have not just had a crowd of 2700 in your last home game :-) People sing those types of songs to create banter. The oldham fans singing it know very well Oldham's home attendance is poor but it's sung to get a bite off the other teams' supporters to try and increase the atmosphere. If you don't like the atmosphere that the guys try to provide to help cheer the team on either just don't join in with the songs or sit in a library (to be honest after some of the home performances, this wouldn't be a bad idea) but most of the songs are pro Oldham but there is only so much of 'come on oldham' and 'oh when the blues' you can sing in 90 minutes before it gets boring and repetitive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably more amusement at Oldham having the front to sing about crowds Anyway i never said i wanted to sit in a Library, I would much prefer an atmosphere just without those songs Each to their own Edited March 6, 2014 by NIKI1234 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's only so much like I said you can sing of come on oldham, flying high and oh when the blues and I never said you did, just want a little support and encouragement for the guys who really try to give it a go. Those songs are used to try and bode the opposition, fair enough it didn't work, partly because there were only about 10 that they were singing to but it's trying to get a reaction which builds up a bigger atmosphere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIKI1234 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Stuck in the past maybe but some of the old school chants are good to hear and join in with. I agree with you though OWTB gets boring after a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAC0AFC Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 (edited) oh johnny eyre was a cracker, or tony carrs is number one, e.t.c (whatever happened to simple songs? instead of singing about our centre halves cock?) the group of lads i go with sing the old songs at every away game we go to for a laugh and reminiscing sitting in the lookers at the back! how i miss the lookers Edited March 6, 2014 by kieranmcandrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
