oafc_lover Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 What has everyone got planned? A few of us will be heading up to Seel Park to watch Mossley vs Ossett Albion. They’re trying to raise £18,000 for stadium improvements to try and get to the next level and it would be fantastic if we could get a load of us up there to help them out. I’m sure most of you will have already been before but plenty of street parking around, reasonable entry fee and a great club house bar for a few scoops. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alternatively, AFC Oldham are playing at home to Swinton at Hopwood Hall College, Middleton at 2pm. A few dozen would really help them financially.

Don’t get me wrong I don’t go anywhere else normally. Just thought a few might fancy a few beers and a bit of footy to support a local club. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a very nice non league ground. You can pub crawl on the bus ride home as well... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love to take a game in abroad but I have no interest in watching anyone but Oldham over here. Unless a corporate freebie's on offer like.... That said - is anyone else going to the Argentina v Italy friendly at the Etihad on Friday night? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Choo Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Hi everyone, My name is Matthew and I'm on the Commitee at Mossley AFC. We are indeed raising funds to improve our facilities. The town isn't exactly blessed with leisure facilities so we're trying to take the lead to make things better. Seel Park is used by numerous local groups and we feel we have a duty to enhance their experience when visiting us. The great news is we've already hit our first target! You can read more here: https://zohero.com/fundraisers/mossleyafc/ If you'd like to donate then brilliant! You can even donate and choose a reward. Nothing beats getting a larger crowd though and we know we have a number of Latics supporters who watch us. The club were also very supportive of us on Non-League Day 2017 which we appreciate. We're aware a few more may be coming this weekend so with this in mind, we're offering all Latics season ticket holders discounted entry upon production of their season ticket. The prices will be: £5 for adults £3 for concessions £1 for 16-17s All children are FREE anyway We look forward to welcoming as many of you as possible. Thank you!

the_mighty_bosh Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 With a bit of luck, I'll be watching Exeter Vs Swindon. Why? Because I want to see what Ollie Banks is like when he isn't playing for my team! Surely he can't be any more frustrating/shit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
