Monty Burns Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 By gum I hope it rains today it will clean the stinking piss troughs at the back of the stand - luxury! I actually really like the look of that ❤️❤️❤️??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BP1960 Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 I think they were just protesting - they wanted crumbling concrete, queues for disgusting toilet facilities and making fun of the new white elephant 'northern stand' "Cant be doing with this modern facility stuff better off they spend money on a new wing half" Ah, the good old days, I remember them well.

Stagger Lee Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 What a beautiful sight, think I can just make out the Elk Mill there too. Yep - stood in the rain of the Rochdale road end admiring a nice new stand was something I enjoyed about 40 years ago - I always wanted to try out the stand but funny enough the first time I sat in it (as opposed too standing on the terrace in front of it) was when we beat Tottenham in the last year of the first division.

Does anyone know what match this photo was taken at? Decent crowd and I'm guessing around 80-81? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing it was maybe the first match it was open back in 1971 or 1972 something - definitely not the 1980's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stagger Lee Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 The site I got the pic from states ... above is Oldham's Boundary Park, with fans gathering on the terraces, for a Division Three clash with Northampton in 1968Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk Obviously that date can not be correct because it was 'won' back in about 1971 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick_Valentine Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Well at first I thought about 77-78 looking at the clobber and the perimeter ad boards, then thought it might be a bit later? Before my time though as my first visit to BP was as an excited six year old in 1982. Great photo of the old place though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did we not have fences up about 1980 - and after the Sheff Wed riot we re concreted the Rochdale road end so I'm sure that pic is not in the 80's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singe Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 The forerunner to the Anglo Scottish Cup was the Texaco Cup. Most of the advertising boards are for for Texaco, who would not have normally sponsored us. So I reckon it was a Texaco Cup game. We only competed in it Season 74-75 We played 3 home games that comp. V Sheff Utd, Hearts and Southampton. I can see one red and white hat. The Sheff Utd game was Aug, the Saints game Nov. It looks quite misty, wintery. So my guess is v Southampton 22nd Oct 1974. Or thereabouts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sheff and Hearts games were midweek so Southampton on Saturday looks possible - Semi final of the cup - we lost 3-1 I did go to that game but strewth it was a long time ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

real Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Is the concept of supporting the club too difficult for you too? Is the concept of not talking about things you know jack all about too difficult for you? Where have I actually said I'm boycotting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChaddySmoker Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 You have to be miserable about something don't you - should we have built a tin shed or stay a three sided ground? Great looking stand, great facility for the fans - when its finished - and just makes the whole club look more professional. I'm proud of the stand Good for you. I trust that you will be attending every home match since you quite obviously love Oldham so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kowenicki Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Good for you. I trust that you will be attending every home match since you quite obviously love Oldham so much. Can you answer his question please. Would you have preferred to stay 3 sided? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lags Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 The proof is in the pudding. Last season North Stand, back row, near to half way line. This coming season, back in the main stand, unsure where about the seats are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBigDog Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 No, why? Because the club might appreciate feedback and possibly do something about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
