rudemedic Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Since AL got involved with Latics Ben Toner has issued 34 yellow cards and 4 red cards in 8 Oldham games. Perhaps he has been a harbinger of nominative determinism Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you’re wrong here Ryan, at least in part. The request came from supporters groups and they quickly responded and did the right thing.

Decent gesture by LO to help our fans, and if they make money out of it at the same time good luck to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spot on, Of course orient make a few quid, but I don’t think another few hundred on the gate is the primary objective in doing it- especially knowing what it’s like to have bad owners.

Have to disagree with you here. Sometimes the even the smallest gesture can have a big effect. For AL to see the fans of Orient and their club make tickets available to us against the will of our club is a huge statement imo. They may be making money by having our fans there but I genuinely believe its a bit of karma, and hope there is more karma to hit AL and anyone else who has damaged our club through poor business, greed and nepotism.

The Os fans are great, always have been. Their stories about trying to get their club back are similar to our fight now. Blackpool fans welcomed them like they are now welcoming us. This is nothing to do with any commercial gain, its fans supporting each other in their plight to regain their club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't doubt that there are a lot of good people who wish us well at Orient, and I know our respective supporters' groups are very friendly. However, I don't see any away team complying with Lemmies' demands to not sell tickets on the gate (unless police advice reinforces that demand obvs). There is 0 incentive to do so. Even if it's only a few extra grand no right minded business owner would turn down revenue at the request of a competitor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
