Ha, I missed out an 'allegedly' back there He allegedly stuck the boot in on Angela Rayner, and was behind the complaints to Sir Keir about her choice of clothes on Hartlepool visits etc. Allegedly. Ha. I should probably avoid the politics. I'll only get even more wound up than I do about the ****ing owners of OAFC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a Board we feel obliged to protect our staff at all levels from these attacks especially when they are based on fabrication, so we are now taking appropriate steps with legal representatives to address this. Incidentally, did Paul Hughes (the OASF / Trust rep) agree to this statement as it's signed off by "the board of directors" on the website? Can anyone clarify the parts in bold? https://www.oldhamathletic.co.uk/news/2021/june/11062021-board-update/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are plenty of aspects that the MP should be interested in, mainly that this is a community club. That it may not survive because of mismanagement. No effort has been made to look after fans, the most comfortable stand not used because the absent owner has simply fallen out with the partners in the running of the stand. Hence number of fans and sponsors diminishing to the point it may not survive. MPs should be interested in helping to strengthen the voice of the fans (his/her voters) in safeguarding football clubs from hostile businessmen. lots of reasons! “ hostile businessmen “. Do you mean our owners who have injected their own money to enable our club to survive? “ the owner has fallen out with partners “ What on earth has that got to do with an MP? ”it is a community club” .No it isn’t. It is a privately owned business etc As I said recruitment, product, communication , results , decision making have all been poor but are hardly the stuff of an urgent question to the Secretary of State with responsibility for Culture Media and Sport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamHughes Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 My old man had this break booked 18 months ago,couldn’t do it due to Covid,he wasn’t even the trust rep when he booked it.Now hes off on his holidays at the earliest opportunity it’s a coincidence the timing of it.FFS get a grip people,he’s a volunteer,we’re generational Latics fans,I’m sure he’ll deal with it when he gets home.

I think it's easy to forget it's real people involved. Especially as Tracy gives up huge swathes of her free time. How can you ignore all what she has written when it's clearly taking a personal toll? If Tracy walked the safety net if Lemmies go is wafer thin. Including the PTB chaps, it's barely a dozen people doing the hard yards out of 5,000 fans and I definitely don't include myself in that dozen. The fact no-one is doing 24/7 on call response is down to us as fans collectively. I normally agree with 99.9% of what you say but not these 2 posts.

It’s a fair point and I’ll apologise to Tracy for any offence taken it was a rash and perhaps unfair hit at the trust - but speaking from experience responding in haste, anger and after “the sauce” is usually ill advised Apologies * edit I didn’t actually pick up the personal elements which I wouldn’t wish on anyone so I certainly apologise separately for that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
