Someone needs to remind him that Oldham fans pay more than £55 for 2 adults and a child at Posh and are stuck in the corner. I bet Posh stewards would confiscate an inflatable at their ground too. Hypocrite.

Didn't he say get over it when the price was £28 last season

In fairness he's highlighting what a :censored: product football can be, he is right!

 

I tried to get a pie or hot dog 5 mins before the half time rush only to be told all hot food had run out before KO !!! And the crowd was 3900 ffs

 

OAFC is basically a bit :censored: these days and our fan base has been reduced to a rump

I have said before when they usher away fans in the RRE (small section) as near to the far end as they can. To be treated in that manner after a 3 or 4 hour journey is a joke.

 

There really is no need for it, just what was the no go area put in for, if it was good enough for segregation in the early nineties it should be good enough today.

 

It's true, football fans, especially away fans are treated like cattle, and taking inflatables off fans, what's that all about, it was their last away game for God's sake!!!

I can’t stand Adrian Durham and refuse to listen to TalkSport when he’s on. However I empathise fully with the following bits of his article:

 

…wasted eight hours of your life putting yourself through uncomfortable, mind-numbing pain with nothing to show at the end of it.

 

As I drove back I wondered if staying at home and repeatedly punching myself in the face would have been a better option.

 

Love makes you do the most impossibly stupid things – and the love I have for my club (I buy two season tickets every year) and the love so many fans show for their club, deserves to be respected so much more than it is.

 

Fans get treated like scum in this country: excessive prices, poor facilities, lack of respect from clubs, lack of communication from clubs, travelling fans over-charged and treated like criminals even though they are actually pumping much-needed money into the host club.

 

We’ve just finished another season in which I feel the players, who set that high benchmark against Swindon, have let down badly the Club, management and, most of all, the supporters. I couldn’t raise enough enthusiasm to wait for the ‘lap of honour’ after the final game, or want to socialise with the players at a planned get-together at the Blue Belle on Sunday or the Awards Night on Monday.

 

Now I am deflated at the prospect of next season’s managerial team, but hope springs eternal and I’m willing to think that I may be very surprised and impressed in due course.

 

So what makes me continue to keep the Faith after more than 65 years? It’s away days (up to kick-off) like Walsall and nights out in Oldham, like on Sunday, celebrating the silver wedding anniversary of a couple of supporters we met at a pre-season game at Hartlepool c1988, with only 7 away fans present. Latics is for life and for making me happy when skies are grey, but it’s the supporters who put the rainbow into watching Latics.

 

Long may it continue.

Top of the list of people whose views about Latics carry no weight:

 

1. Katie Hopkins.

2. Adrian Durham.

 

It isn't about Latics in any meaningful way and hands up anyone who would disagree with any of it

Coleman kicked it out of play twice....not time after time

 

You all moan about the same things when moved in the RR End

Why did he travel for a meaningless game and then complain about how meaningless it was?

Spot on description of sideways and backwards football, with the exception of Dom, when he eventually managed to get it under control.

Let's hope the new manager at least has a through ball or toward run in his coaching locker! We might even see some shots on goal to go with all the possession. Rant over!

It'd have been better if they let all the Peterborough in the cordoned-off bit for a bit of a party (along with Ms Durham and their lad) and stuck Adrian Durham in the far corner taped off just for being a general :censored:. And made a 'this bloke is a :censored:' sign to stick just in front.
