Not just a handful on the pitch. I'd say if anything they didn't boycott yesterday and protested pretty loudly. They also unveiled banners. So the ban on banners failed.

It's frankly ridiculous to suggest fans signing anti-board songs would negatively affect the players on the pitch. I'm not signing up to that.

oafc1955 Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 We could do with a real media saturation job. Get it in the Oldham Times and the ‘Chron’ which I believe is now back in print. Although unlikely, it would be great to get 5 or 6 thousand protesters at the Hartlepool fixture whether it be inside or outside the ground pre game or post game. I wouldn’t mind betting Mo doesn’t even turn up for the game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rochdale too must fear a pitch invasion which would be very difficult to prevent. I would suggest that all factions post early on social media urging fans not to enter the field of play at Spotland. I think that any transgression might do more harm than good. Just having 3k chanting and displaying banners whilst backing the team would send a powerful message to any potential buyers i think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafcmetty Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 I can't imagine any home team's fans would be appreciative of our fans on the pitch, not least our most local 'rivals'. The Barrow lot were quite lively yesterday, it was brave of some of those on the pitch to run towards them - wouldn't have been shocked if they'd have tried to get on also!

Bobledgersheart Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 A bit silly to antagonise other team's supporters, which will just be misconstrued as hooliganism, we need all the allies we can muster. Yesterday a bloke a couple of rows back shouted "good, get the dogs on them" when the police reinforcements arrived and another outside the ground was shouting "first one to hit Karl in he face gets ??????? ( indecipherable )" and "storm the main stand !" which just shows the diametric views of some of our fans, both equally stupid in my opinion.

Monty Burns Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Between 2600-2800 all ticket for Rochdale l'd say. Fans going at away fans when we are looking for Football world support is hugely counterproductive. Something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure Rochdale would welcome the revenue of 2500/3000 Latics fans. If 1600 is the maximum than there is something very fishy going on indeed.

Money comes first to these people, 50 extra stewards at £25 a pop is nothing compared to an extra 1400 fans paying up. The police will be added cost because this will be a cat A game. But still if theres 1600 or 3000, there will only be a handful of balloons intent on causing bother, the rest just want some banter, enjoy the anti Almo chants and go home. Gmp police City and Utd games, Rochdale v Oldham will be a busy day but nothing different to the usual dealings apart from being less in numbers.
