Capacity of North Stand is about 2,600, which would add another 650 - giving a grand total of (about) 3,400. No decision has been made on whether away supporters will be admitted!

The capacity was reduced last season to a little over 9k due to safety concerns so if they use that as the starting point it may well be 2250 including the North Stand.

It is about distancing people so I can't see an issue with using a percentage of the number of available seats rather than the overall safe maximum.

Andy-latic Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Holding off another couple of weeks, if it looks like fans will be allowed back in October, then I’ll go for it. Has anyone managed to purchase a season ticket with the money off through option 3? And how much has it reduced to for an adult? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Worcester Owl Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Sightly off topic, but Oldham was featured on the BBC 1o'clock news today as part of the coronavirus update and the aerial view of the town showed Boundary Park, looking resplendent in the sunshine. I suspect the pictures were not live! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First off, I've only quoted Unsworth to contribute to this fans are better together rather than split. Yes together is best. Lets look at the situation I am currently embroiled in, the North stand impasse. We have a chairman/owner who for me has made mistakes whilst showing some signs of learning. We have an ex owner who systematically stripped the profitable fabric of the club into various companies he created for this sole purpose. Now we have an impasse where the ex owner still holds the profitable fabric and wants to extract more coinage from current owner of the loss making fabric who wants to put out the footballing side. If this was a Christmas panto I know who the villain and hero's would be. Uniquely here at Latics it's the exact opposite. There are a good wedge of fans seeming to be willing the ex owner to be right in this and the owner who wants to put on the show to be wrong. I find it astonishing. I really do.

More like they’re the ugly sisters and we need to find who fits the glass slipper, AL’s foot is nowhere near fitting it (oh yes it is OH NO IT ISN’T), he needs to admit he is in over his head and pass the slipper on so that a true fit can be found.

This is from the article on the BBC. No mention of an impasse because the landlords want to increase the rent unfairly... "In late 2019, the club and the OEC each submitted agreements to the SAG but they differ over the right of the club to impose restrictions on how the OEC is operated and who can be admitted to it on matchdays. With two different safety agreements in place, the council had asked both parties to talk and decide where guidelines can be managed and matched. The OEC offered to meet with the Latics and the SAG to resolve matters, but this meeting was declined by the club unless the OEC first signed its version of the agreement."
