Magic Mikey Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 30 minutes ago, 100milesaway said: They haven't destroyed it. It's still here, and we are still playing football. I never said they had. No one likes what has happened over the last few seasons, but the club was in decline long before the Lemsagams arrived. So we should just allow the decline to continue? If the club ended up doing a Bury, you and the rest of the stay awayers will be just as culpable as the Lemmies. No I wouldn't, you're being very silly there. New season, some good new players, North stand open, football fans starved of live football for more than a full season, and yet you are still whinging. There are far worse things happening in the world today, than what is happening at our football club. And? Nothing to do with any points I made. I love my club, and have seen situations far worse than they are at the minute. Do you think the fans sacrificing watching their club love Latics less than you? Get a grip. I was leaving this but I can't leave the bullshit above unchallenged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This just isn't true at all. This time last year, we had beaten a strong Forest side, a Lincoln side that were about to have a playoff campaign in the league above, DKD was scoring screamers and looking a good player, we were all enthused by McAleny and even Jombati and Garrity were earning rave reviews after their friendly displays. Kewell was being touted as the second coming of Joe Royle after some good friendly performances... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Sinnott2 Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 As for the boycott, I'm still going. Always was but completely understand and agree with the PTB reasons for doing so. Only reason I go is my two lads and the day they tell me they've had enough, I'll happily knock it on the head... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like football but I don't particularly like see us fail. I want to cheer when we score I support Oldham Athletic and want to see them win. I don't turn up to see them lose. While success is somewhat subjective to the club you support. You want to try and compete to win every game, and this club is not competing to anywhere the level it should be. I don't sing come on football I sing Come on Oldham. Otherwise what's the point of supporting a football club you may aswell just ground hop. Which looks an enticing prospect this season.

I understand what you're saying but I think the feel good factor is different than last season ,fans have been away from stadiums for over 16 months and major issue has been dealt with, North stand back opened and the points that I raised last time.

Well if we are going with the expectation that we are never going to get we will be disssapointed when we do, and fans stopping going to their football club just because a stand is shut could also be viewed as a little pedantic but it's happened.

Once the initial novelty of returning to normal has worn off then people will start judging the games and the team on their merits. Their is no new found feel good factor about Oldham Athletic.

The lads excited for the start of the season, he may be a bit ott with the feel good factor but I think he means, in general with the stand opening a few new signings and a new season a fair few fans will be excited to get back.

I'm generally thick skinned , it shows that people are passionate about the club and the future of it, I do come across sometimes as an excited school but that's just my nature, and no I don't give out applauses to players when they play crap.

He thinks we are on an upward curve- I don’t. So we’ve had a chat about it and a bit of laugh with each other. It’s a bad trait to come on messages boards and make baseless assumptions about people you don’t know. 13 minutes ago, kowenicki said: 100%.
