Dick_Valentine Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 A Sheffield Utd supporting mate of mine was having a whinge about Boltons pricing today and I couldn't believe what I was hearing, £30 to watch a 3rd division match at the Reebok (or whatever it's called this week). I was looking forward to Bolton away this season, but if they try charging me £28-30 they can :censored: off. Lots of Sheffield Utd fans have decided not to go so greedy Bolton might have shot themselves in the foot? http://www.sufc.co.uk/news/article/2016-17/sheffield-united-bolton-wanderers-away-tickets-3179251.aspx Should we have a premier league style ticket cap at our level? £20 perhaps? Sorry if this has been brought up before, I did have a quick look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stagger Lee Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 A few Bury fans going to stay away too. http://www.gigglane.com/index.php?/topic/26556-noblot-%C2%A3%C2%A3%C2%A3%C2%A3%C2%A3%C2%A3%C2%A3%C2%A3%C2%A3-boycotting-bolton-away-merged/ Difficult one this - being the first season we have played them in a while I can see many of us going. However if they are charging that much next season I hope we boycott the tossers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OAFCM35 Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 We should all turn up at the nearest non league team to the macron and give them our money instead.. £30 CHRIST ON A BIKE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure the directors at Radcliffe Borough FC would be well up for this, though 3000 Latics fans rocking up unannounced might take them by surprise.

I though the closest to them was Leigh RMI? £30 quid sorry thanks but no thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpo Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Apparently they've swapped the decision to sell the top tier first, but £28 is still rubbish. Hopefully they'll see sense and make most games category C. Probably still be £26 for us. It's a fifteen minute walk from my house so I'll go whatever, but I was hoping for a big following. Sort it out Bolton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

longtimeblue Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 (edited) As much as it's a piss take, I'll probably end up going for the day out. If we're top 6, we'll take 3,500 and as much as many would like to take a stance, the lure of a decent day out is likely to be a bit too much.

Simpo Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 (edited) They're Leigh Genesis now and play at that new(ish) Sports Village place. Went out of business in 2011. It's a shoddy tale, they should never have moved from being Horwich RMI in the first place! Leigh doesn't even have a Railway Mechanics Institute. They were pretty much forcibly removed to make way for the new stadium. I went to a Horwich RMI vs Latics XI friendly when I was a young un, and about 20 years on I finally get to see another Oldham team play in Horwich! Might have a drink at Horwich RMI cricket pavilion on the day too, for posterity. ;) Edited July 15, 2016 by Simpo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rosa Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Ashton United, Mossley, Radcliffe Borough, Ramsbottom and Trafford (and Prescot Cables fwiw) all at home that day. http://www.evostikleague.co.uk/match-info/fixtures/2016-10 Was looking forward to Bolton away. Not sure what the upper limit I'd be prepared to pay is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest nonaenever Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Sorry to completely disagree with the sentiment on here but come on ! It's our arch enemies from times gone by - away for the first time in ages. Every Latics fan should want to turn out - to be honest I wouldn't miss this if it was £50! I appreciate the point being made but every Latics fan must turn out for this - and sing for 90 minutes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
