GlossopLatic Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Mmmm groups of boys meeting up with other groups of boys to get physical kind of gay really isn't it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLDHAM4ALWAYS Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Believe me the police have their hands tied and these so called fans knew it, although it was good to see the supposed fan from Preston ejected by the police officers. The stewards are not trained enough to deal with public order situations and lots of them are too old in the first place. Still I agree that some of the Preston fans should have been thrown out as they were refusing to sit down and were taunting the Oldham fans throughout the match with obscenities, with no steward making a move to stop them..

Isnt this exactly what we do when we take a large following against a local team. Bury last year, Dale and Hudds etc. All games where fans stand and taunt the opposition. Nothing wrong with that at all. It goes on every week across the leagues. Its miles away from fans fighting each other after a game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rudemedic Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 There are views from the Preston fans about the trouble yesterday in amongst this http://www.pne-online.net/forum/showthread.php?85680-Preston-Fan-attacked-woman I'm more concerned about them allegedly assaulting a woman on a train after their Tranmere game and some of their fans defending it.

dec666 Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Obviously there was some idiots amongst them, as with most away followings, but I thought they were top class in the ground, loudest I've seen in a while. Reminded me of when we had away days like that, rather than 6 pointers at Crewe to look forward to! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my point, end of season 6 pointers are standard now, they weren't a few seasons ago! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last season we didn't have a 6 pointer at this stage is 2007/8 (Shez's 2nd season- the year we beat Everton). We had some promotion 6 pointers the year after, and relegation 6 pointers every season since, some at home though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeroyboy Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Stick PNE fans in the small section next season, if we get the chance. That will sort them out nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarryBosch Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Reminded me of when we had away days like that, rather than 6 pointers at Crewe to look forward to! I thought the same walking across the car park while they had stayed behind still singing, still cheering their team. I can't remember being envious of another teams fans before but us having that again seems so far away. I thought they were far quieter than other clubs who've brought similar numbers in the past though. Also, we'd have taken as many to them were we in their position - quite poor that they couldn't fill it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarddog73 Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 sorry but they had 3500 at least in there and we wouldnt take that there for a league game wherever we were in the league, if we were up there it would be around 2000 but those days are long gone. the figure given by the club on saturday was a joke tbh.

HarryBosch Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 (edited) sorry but they had 3500 at least in there and we wouldnt take that there for a league game wherever we were in the league, We've taken similar numbers to that, sometimes more, to big games in the recent past. Why would it be any different now? Edited March 10, 2014 by HarryBosch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarddog73 Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 at anfield and goodison agreed but 3 or 4 in a league game wont happen again if we go down which i think we will and have an okay start we might take a few away but most would be 2000 for a local derby.

If we're top 6 playing local (or even not so local) opposition and they could accomodate us we'd take that. Even if we did go down - even Rochdale took 2k+ to Bury the other night.

yarddog73 Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 what have we taken to dale and bury in recent years it would be around the 2k mark in any case we wouldnt take what pne did anywhere in the league, that was a good turnout and reminded me of going away in our better years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if we did go down - even Rochdale took 2k+ to Bury the other night. Dale didn't take as many as we did, but they got the bigger end. So much for the much vaunted intelligence, complied by those yet to be determined, put forward as an excuse. But like you say if we were top 6 we'd take that to our nearest away game easily. We were only a few hundred short of taking that to Bury last season, when we were bottom 6. FWIW I think they spread themselves out a bit when they and the coppers realised they could, thus making the quoted figure more accurate than some have been claiming.

yarddog73 Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 at this rate we will struggle to get 2000 at home trying to predict away followings is pie in the sky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dec666 Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 If we were in Preston's position at this stage of the season of course we would take 2,500-3,000 there easily! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at some of our followings to local rivals when Shez was in charge, they were class because we were a good team. Now we rave about taking 700 to a game an hour away.....

youngen Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Coming out fo the Chaddy end, I noticed some of the Oldham hoolis walking up sheepfoot lane, and warned my brother it was about to kick off. We followed for a good 5 minutes up the road, saw it 'kick off' (8 men shouting loudly at each other with one punch thrown at a relitively ar old man) for 5 minutes, and then the police appeared. Where do they find these intelligence officers? Cos they are thick as pig :censored:. The cops then marched the Oldham fans away whilst numerous PNE fans of hooli looking nature 'mobbed up' behind the police. pretty embarassing the whole thing if Im honest, but the police were a joke!
