BucksBlue Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 tGWB - good summary. One omission is the substantial funds given by OMBC to Blitz and Gazal (Brassbank) contiguous to their ground purchase. It was questioned at the time as the funds were pledged to the Club (and not to owners thereof). The OMBC representative at the time said "it's at the council's discretion" . If the funds had gone to the Club at that time, we would not be in the situation of different owners of ground and club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's disgusting treatment of fans again. Refund request and donation to the fund?! That's just a suggestion of course - I respect your choice either way. Having re read it I am going to assume it's only in regards to the section of seating directly behind the goal and not the full big side of the RRE seems an impossible thing to enforce unless they are going to start sending to stewards and or the taurus mob up to hassle anyone who appears to be under 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may end up being the only club in the country where you need your passport to hand in order to sit where you want. In a ground that is 90% empty.... I think there is a strong argument that it is illegal. The Equalities Act 2010 makes it clear that private clubs of 25 members can offer concessions to members of a certain age, ie discounted rates but it cannot discriminate against its members on the grounds of age. Of course Barry will be familiar with legislation lol but may have found a loophole as there maybe less than 25 season ticket holders / members attending next year.

real Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Why would the council give funds to Blitz/Gazal/Brassbank when they were buying the ground/land from the council? What may have been questionable, was whether Blitz/Gazal/Brassbank had the right to buy the ground/land under the terms that were agreed with the club when the ground/land was sold by the club to the council.

Monty Burns Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 he's probably talking about the £750K grant involved in the £5Mish refund from the council to blitz over Failsworth. l also suspect this is the whole foundation for The Stench's court case.

My feelings are; Abdallah wants out. Court case could take as much as 18 months to be heard. Abdallah won't sell until court case is heard given there could be financial gain. In the meantime he allegedly owes around 400k in rent? This may not grow any bigger given he is effectively giving up any rights to the stand. We as a club are left in limbo whilst our two previous owners argue the toss whilst Owen throws the petrol on. Strangely this situation allows Owen to fulfill his life long dream of running Oldham Athletic but leaves the club in it's worse state in living memory. Owen thinks he is doing a grand job and gets a pat on the back off Mike each day for good measure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the businessman we thought if that’s the case….I assume that rent is still due but the “club” saves some other operational/matchday costs and, more importantly given their spiteful/pride driven nature, reduces revenue to OEC etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His choices are probably to effectively force us into administration and then either buy us out of it for peanuts so he can more easily sell the entire club with the ground as a single entity…..or, more worryingly, let it the football club die by holding on to his crazy £6m stadium valuation and start his house building project….which I imagine was always his long term aim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The regime are not fit to run the club for anyone who genuinely cares about OAFC and its current supporters (let alone any future generation). We are going under under these halfwits, desperately need to raise the profile of our club's plight and try and seek some potential investment to run the club once it goes tits up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of personal preference and whatever ones reasons are for wanting to attend ie. family, kids etc. etc. the football is now totally irrelevant……..100%. Stand closures matter not…….how any true fan should want to continue to support this absolute shit show any longer is beyond belief!! IMO…as long as we finish out of the relegation places next season and AL, MO, & BO have all fucked off that’s all that really matters! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
