bigfatjoe1 Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 More snow and ice forecast. It's very early to call off the game when the clubs are neighbours. Still, forecasts are rarely wrong these days....i'l bet Rochdale are happy, with the Stoke game coming up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAV Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Surrounding areas. ...don't look to good from the pictures on sspn to be fair. ..at least it gives the Rochdale massive more time to save up for the next time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldhamoafc Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Squad is looking very small. Gives us chance to add players and get players back fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And dont forget not all fans will live in Oldham or Rochdale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disjointed Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Think this suits us better, as we are a bit thin on the ground in terms of playing staff. Plus I've only just thawed out from Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckshawlatic Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 I work in Prestwich at the moment travelling from preston and finish at 3 - this suits me down to the ground as a total of 4 journeys up and down the m61 and 60 in one day would probably send me over the edge!

Scapegoat Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 My Dad was chatting to a member of the staff at BP this morning in our local shop and was informed that "it'll be off as neither club fancies it". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlossopLatic Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 If it's possible, and I don't know how this ties in with FL regulations we would be best putting this back until the back end of March. If we played this fixture at the business end of the season with both clubs challenging for the play offs this could put quite a few extra on the gate from both sets of fans.

Think it has to be played at the next opportunity doesn't it? Especially as it's been postponed twice now. Would think Tues 17th Feb would be a likely possibility, is that HT week?

hollandspies Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Yes, schools are off that week.This is my worry!Off to Tenerife for half term, so hopefully the club will avoid rearranging the fixture for half term otherwise that's me and my little fella ruled out plus a few more families who will be disappointed on both sides....surely, the rearrangement should be geared towards achieving the best gate possible, not pis*ing off season ticket holding families who would relish this rare home fixture! We were praised for our support at Spotland and we both sang our hearts out! PLEASE don't compromise our support for the return tie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would think Tues 17th Feb would be a likely possibility, is that HT week? I sincerely hope not. I'm in Dublin from 15th - 18th, intentionally booked it when there were no home games...

TheBigDog Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 LJ said he only has 12 fit players. http://www.oldham-chronicle.co.uk/news-features/10/oldham-athletic-news/89898/good-to-talk 14 got game time on Saturday - we know about B Wilson, so who else picked up a knock?Also, does that mean that Lockwood (who was on the bench Saturday) is not fit? The postponement is probably a good thing if it gives more time for Wilson B to recover but generally this is a worrying situation. Time to recall Bove and Truelove from Colwyn Bay or time to bring back Jabo and bring in another one or two on loan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Postman Matt Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Looks a foolish decision calling it off early, regardless of what issues were having with players being unfit.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beag_teeets Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Despite me doing the magic snow dance it doesn't appear to be snowing in Bury, how is it in Oldham? Could the game have gone ahead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BP1960 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 (edited) Despite me doing the magic snow dance it doesn't appear to be snowing in Bury, how is it in Oldham? Could the game have gone ahead? No snow, but freezing, ground surroundings too much of an H&S risk.
