BJBlue Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 I was 1 at the time. I didn't start supporting Latics until a mate brought me along on a 'bring a friend for a quid' day (see, they do work sometimes) when I was 16. Then I started coming every week, got hooked in our play off season under Shez. Little did I know nearly 15 years later that's still the highest I'd see us climb. I look forward to getting back to times where our league position is the only thing that worries me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One match I didn't mind us losing as it was great to see their fans celebrating, something which we had the privilege of doing in the early 90s. I was in the Chaddy End for that match. Did WBA fans launch a pitch invasion at H/T or maybe it was another game? Sure I remember seeing a line of them right across the pitch running towards us. It felt like the Alamo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Handsy Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 The one game above all others I wish I had gone to missed it for a stag do that I couldn’t get out of to either ripon or thirsk races remember when we got the result through singing Oldham in the stand at the race course there must of been about 4 or 5 coach loads of different trips from Oldham who joined in bizarre to say the least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So sad that of the 3,000 or so who went to Ipswich, I would expect maybe at least half that number no longer care or maybe sadly are no longer with us. Never to be forgotten day for all those privileged to have been there and may the current and future generations one day experience something akin to this Thanks for the memories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It felt like the Alamo Think you were dreaming Worcester, no pitch invasion at half time/ just one at full time. The Baggies fans only turned their attention to a handful of Latics herberts who for some reason thought it might be worth a go charging at the hordes of Baggies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was sat in the Ford stand and had a great view of probably more than 10,000 green and yellow bedecked fans celebrating. Possibly biggest attendance I witnessed at BP.

They really were ahead of their time for a small club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
