Got to be worth it for the toxicity, I intend to get fully fuelled pre game so it increases the intensity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick_Valentine Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 I live in Rochdale and I’m still not sure if I can be arsed with this. If I do decide to go it will only be for the fear of missing something and certainly won’t be for the football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris15Arm Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Only 1600 sold . Would have thought this would've sold out, purely for the protests and the day out. And it would have been a good show to the media that we are a well supported club! Will have to make sure the ones who go make as much noise as possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GKing521 Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 1.6k for the same distance for many as a home game. Doesn't set a good precedent if we were to plummet any further and into non-league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maximus1267 Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Bit confused here really, if there are so many boycotting home games but coming together at away games as a show of strength then where are they ? I know there are still a couple of days to nudge those numbers up. Surely this was a total sell out on the cards and more. People can't say its because of how crap the team is because thats not the reason for home boycotts and going away in numbers was to protest against the owners. I have been saying for a while the boycott has been going on for years unknowingly. Maybe it is just apathy after all. 300 mile round trip and I'm bringing a west Cumbrian to add to the numbers. If 3k Oldham fans dont attend this game then we are not showing Almo any fight or solidarity. Dissapointing to say the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought away games were meant to be a show of solidarity and strength against the owner for those no longer wishing to fund him at home games. In reality most just can’t be bothered anymore, which is fair enough after all the years of rubbish but I think we should call it how it is.

I agree and it is really poor to watch but now is not the time to be, not bothered anymore. Seems to be a small minority who are bothered if thats the case. Where are all those who came along on the ride of the glory days. I know a few may not be here anymore but there are many who still are and are able. Shame on anyone who gives up on this club.

It's not compulsory to attend this game Max, no surprise that the sales are much lower than in previous years. Taking away all the comedic antics from the owner and his cohorts, you must remember that this bunch of players and the current manager are abysmal. I can fully understand anyone not wanting to travel 3 miles to watch the shite on offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know its not compulsary and I know everything about the club is depressing and not worth attending in a monetary value. But I thought, bearing in mind what I have read on here, media, oasf and ptb websites that there would be a coming together at away games. Fans kicking off about away ticket allocations and then not snapping up tickets for what is really as close as it gets. Just baffled and dissapointed, thats all.

I know what you are saying, but talk is cheap Max. Everyone loves a bit of a revolution from their armchair. Maybe that is also a reason for the figures.

GlossopLatic Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 The fact we are taking that much is quite an achievement considering we have gone over 6 hours without seeing a goal and we are at all time low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As good as the protest was last week (organised brilliantly by PTB), I thought the turnout wasn’t great. About 750 I reckon - is that all we have who care enough to turn up to protest? Different people have different reasons and that’s fine but I think it’s hit home to me how many people either can’t be bothered or have walked away from the club completely.

This is where I am struggling. I thought we were turning out in numbers against the owners at away games to show them we wont pay in at home games. I thought the football was secondary here. Lets face it, us being crap should be of no shock to any of our fans, this has not just happened in the last 6hrs game time. Boycotts and turning up at away games has been all over social media, press, radio and podcasts long before the last 6hrs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
