steveoafc Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 (edited) Makes sense utilising a facility that is already up and running, will bring in a small amount of cash too. Edited January 18, 2016 by steveoafc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAC0AFC Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Another good idea from the club. Glad I'm seated when I first read this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deyres42 Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Ah, but which of the lunchtime games will be shown? We need a statement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego_Sideburns Posted January 21, 2016 Author Share Posted January 21, 2016 In the rarely-wrong Chron, Matt Chambers misleads readers by saying that Saturday's bar for 80/free mini pie for 50 is when Athletic opens its new north stand business suite to the general public. http://www.oldham-chronicle.co.uk/news-features/10/oldham-athletic-news/96284/free-pies-for-latics-fanatics It states clearly on the OS that the suite is between the Main Stand and ZenOffice Stand, and access is from the entrance on Furtherwood Road at the end of the Main Stand.

bowl Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I went in before the game, had a decent pint for £2.50 and very nice pie, thinking the club should do this every match. Then.... they shut the bar at half 2 and kick us out! Typical Latics, it's like they don't want to make money sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deyres42 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 :censored:e Lees' Smooth or Carlsberg then Some of us like lager Dick. I would no more drink real ale than I would eat avocado. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshgaz Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I can only echo bowls thoughts. Lees cask was really well kept. Then to be kicked out at 2.30 was ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick_Valentine Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Yep. 2.50 a pint. Always knew it was good in there, what's not to like about the O2 business suite. :censored: you Greyhound! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego_Sideburns Posted February 2, 2016 Author Share Posted February 2, 2016 Open again on Saturday for the Blackpool game from 12 noon to 2:45pm and then after the game. Cask ale is The Governor, created by Marco Pierre White and JW Lees Brewery. http://www.oldhamathletic.co.uk/news/article/business-suite-open-to-fans-again-on-saturday-2934982.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latics and England Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 It is worth noting that before the Bury game they were showing the Championship match in there rather than Norwich v Liverpool so I assume they have Sky Sports but not BT Sport. If this is the case, they won't have the City Leicester game on today (probably Rangers and Kilmarnock instead). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
