It's now generally a dreadful place for an alcoholic drink. Another post pointing out your thoughts that there are too many brown people in oldham...

LaticsLegend Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Very little promotion of this fixture on the club's official channels or other outlets. Thought there would be at least a small marketing push to get people through the gates, especially whilst there is still some potential excitement around the new management. Seems a bit of a miss to get a few extra in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love cosmopolitan places and enjoy learning from other cultures. I merely have a view that it's not good when one culture virtually displaces wholesale the existing cosmopolitan culture in the proverbial "blink of an eye". I`ve said before, Oldham used to be a superb multi-cultural place. You could drink with the West Indian lads and lasses in Kittymans, the Anglo-West Indian Club, Bergmans etc., the Poles in the ex servicemens club in Glodwick, likewise with the Ukrainian folk in their club. You could even have a game of pool with "the travelling community" in The Park Hotel near Alexandra Park. You could have a great night and have "the craic" with the Irish in The Land League Club, The One & Three etc. All long gone. P.S. I used to drink/dance in Kittymans with my West Indian wife, so don't make me laugh with your bilge about "brown people".) P.P.S. Are you aware of the blatant racism and violence against the West Indian community in Glodwick in the 80s?. Thought not (because it wasn't committed by white people). P.P.P.S. Are you aware of the blatant racism and violence against the travelling community on their Ada Street site (Glodwick), who were basically hounded and harassed out of town? Thought not (because it wasn't committed by white people). You're a sick joke mcfluff. Chaddy - please don't jump on mcfluff's bandwaggon. I don't have a problem with any culture, Asian or otherwise - in fact, I`m completely colour blind. See above - it's an honestly held view - I think Oldham is a far worse and less interesting town since it basically became split along its current cultural lines. Everyone used to mix and get on fine - not anymore - it's become a very boring place. I also detest "selective racism" i.e. it only matters when it's white on black/asian etc. - all too common amongst the liberals and lefties. Apologies generally to other users - it's a football forum but I just needed to reply to blinkered people who have no idea what they are on about - over and out.

With them making it all ticket fairly early in the week, I would suggest it's more to do with needing to know likely attendance numbers for policing more than anything.

Wardie Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 4 minutes ago, Red Adair said: Any need? Probably not...but, if you're going to come on a rivals forum, expect nothing less. It's obvious there is a gulf between Wrexham's financial status and the one Latics find themselves in. We are probably a few seasons behind yourselves and we need patience. I find it particularly unsettling, as a football fan, that two Hollywood icons have ploughed money into an obscure, Welsh football club. To me, it's as if they went out of their way to gain maximum exposure and "Saviour" status. Let's be honest here, no one in Hollywood gives a rat's ass about Wrexham FC or Latics. Your club may be a play thing to them and despite their solemn promises etc. they could drop the toy as quickly as they picked it up. As a football fan, I hope that doesn't happen or if it does, someone competent is in place to takeover. No hard feelings Mr Adair, but I hope you go home disappointed on Saturday. Enjoy the game.

I have noticed this year that a lot of the non-league fans are a sensitive lot and just don't seem to understand our "Oldham" humour. It's savage sometimes!!! The "stay in Wrexham" comment made me laugh & I could easily visualise someone quipping that in the pub, but sadly typing it takes away how it is intended.
