Dave_Og Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 What is our longest run of games without a draw? Quote
AndyGortonsMatches Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 In the league, 29 matches. Season 1967/68 http://www.statto.com/football/teams/oldham-athletic/1967-1968/results Quote
lookersstandandy Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 7 losses, then 7 wins on the bounce. What an incredible set of results. Quote
Wozzer Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Knocked out of the cups by Barrow and Workington! They got their comeuppance not long after. Quote
lookersstandandy Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 (edited) 10 wins on the bounce in 73/74 when Frizzell got us up from the 3rd to the 2nd tier; http://www.statto.com/football/teams/oldham-athletic/1973-1974/results Also, I didn't realise how tight it was going into that last game away at Plymouth on the 3rd May '74, securing a 0-0 draw to sneak ahead of Bristol Rovers whose last game had been a 1-1 draw at home to Brighton on the 27th April '74. We then had to wait another 3 days for Plymouth to play again and beat York City 2-0 on the 6th May '74 and for the top 3 to finish like this; Pos Club P W D L F A GD Pts 1 Oldham Athletic 46 25 12 9 83 47 +36 62 2 Bristol Rovers 46 22 17 7 65 33 +32 61 3 York City 46 21 19 6 67 38 +29 61 Did anyone on here go to that game at Plymouth, must've felt like we'd blown it after not winning, especially with 2 points for a win and a superior goal difference?

astottie Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Knocked out of the cups by Barrow and Workington! They got their comeuppance not long after. I love the idea of a first round league cup tie going to a second replay. I bet they were beating the gates down to get in Quote

Wozzer Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Carlisle Cheers - not quite old enough for that one but I was amongst the tiny crowd that saw us beat Cambridge at Forest 6 or 7 years later! Quote

penrhyn Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Yes I went to that game at Plymouth was a Friday night game . Quote
oafcmetty Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 How come it was a Friday anyone know Think the FA had only just allowed clubs to start playing on Fridays again, probably just an effect of that Quote
LaticsChris Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Think the FA had only just allowed clubs to start playing on Fridays again, probably just an effect of that Again? Why were they stopped? Quote
oafcmetty Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Again? Why were they stopped? Don't know, sorry (wasn't born!). Quote
