Well that sums it up. They're not the only clowns. I'm not defending them for one minute, but you typify the shit that's on here. Utterly spineless and disloyal bollocks. Enjoy taking pictures.

bigfatjoe1 Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Well i've rattled a few cages and endured the usual sectarian insult, but actually that isn't an issue (although i'm more than happy to discuss that in person). What i've seen on this thread is a bunch of wankers who have turned their back on the club they supposedly love. That didn't happen with Tranmere or even Stockport. Look at yourselves. Wow. You love the club? Really? Twats! i hate the owners and i'm middle aged but i'll never turn my back on the club. Never. And i won't make some of the pathetic comments i've read on here. Your answers speak volumes about the type of people you are. Boo hoo. Shame on you all. You should either be honest about being old and not caring because you like shopping with your wife or shut the fuck up. Alternatively, show some fucking backbone and fight for the club you love, if you do love it. When i was younger, i often thought the town didn't deserve such a great club. Lots' of fans came from outside the MBC. infant, more passionate fans came for Tameside, Middleton and beyond. Nothing has changed. I'll be there on Sunday. I've been there for 45 years. All the owners have been shit. Moore was great. Are you really that thick? This one took over from a bastard who split the club into pieces. Our current owner had a model which was stupid beyond belief. However, i love the club and i really hate shopping and photography is as boring as fuck. Seriously? If i'm going to protest i'll be in the ground. Do yourself a favour. Don't react straight away. Look at yourselves in the mirror. Grow a pair or just piss off and don't come back. I'm sickened by your attitudes. I am Oldham 'till i die. It's in my DNA. I will not capitulate. I will not stay away but neither i will not accept shit management/owners. On a side note, the current manger deserves our backing. Unlike spineless supporters like Scholes, this man has dug in. He inherited a huge mess. I hope he goes all the way in turning the team around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he loved the club, he would've dug in and fought. Same for all supporters. Too many are full of sanctimonious bollocks. scholes was a bottler..

Forgot the past. Stop living in the past. Some of us just love the club and refuse to let it die by staying away. OUR club. Staying away achieves nothing positive. It's not a protest. It's capitulation. You've given up. Fair enough. But stop ramming your moral outrage down everybody else throat because it's actually bollocks. You've just lost the passion. Go shopping instead. Sorry Joe, I misread your comments and thought it was aimed at the likes of myself, I do the 150 mile round journey because it's my club, my home town and my hearts there. No matter who's in charge or what manager is inplace, my passion will never wane. Go shopping? put my feet up? make excuses? I'd rather be dead now!

You cannot have a go at people because they don’t support the club in the way you do, don’t presume your way is the right way. There are plenty of people for whom latics are in their DNA. i would suggest that we are all fighting for the very soul and survival of the club that we love ( however we choose to show it.) Slagging people off isn’t the way forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary1906 Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 I genuinely don’t understand what boycotting games will do?? Surely by boycotting games, the attendances are lower, the atmosphere suffers, the revenue for club is reduced. All of these combined neither help the team out on the pitch or help the club recruit better players, so in the medium to long term the club itself suffers, it’s profile suffers, and also potentially it’s league position. In fact the worst case scenario is that it loses its place in the Football League altogether! How does all of that make the club an attractive proposition to buy for an investor looking to buy a football club? Anyone who wants rid of the current owners are not helping their cause by making it harder for the team. I’d say get behind the team, help them climb the table, then ultimately it might give AL an exit opportunity where he doesn’t lose too much of the money he’s already put into the club. Boycotting and making everything harder for the team and the club is likely to be shooting yourselves in the foot IMO. COYB ️️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boycotting has to be seen to be co-ordinated and hence reversible. For this I thank PTB. They have begun to show it can be co-ordinated. I see everyone's points on here. Gary, you say less revenue damages the club, of course it does, but I can see it may also be the only thing which persuades the owner it is not in his interest to own Oldham. Please everyone try to get behind PTB. If they can show the club a significant reduction in the gate, then maybe we can also have a match where all the fans do turn up. That would show prospective buyers what revenue is possible. Maybe this would satisfy all of the fan base. We could all turn up to watch our team as we want to, apart from the designated matches to boycott or all attend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
