GlossopLatic Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 Unsworth in..... .....oh come on we all know where this is going every thread ends up in a debate to should we/when should we sack the manager. But for the sake of the point of the actual topic and the intent it was started with is this: Our away following aren't all that special alot of other club's take big numbers away from home and alot of people who go on them just do so for a day on the piss anyway. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BP1960 Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 I get flack for wanting the club to return the traditional 1950s kit. I'm considered, probably rightly, a dinosaur. https://images.app.goo.gl/hEieLYQC3UZLjdoS9 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is a fanbase that has seen their club finish in the top 6 twice in almost 35 years, and not finish top half in 15 years, "entitled"? Are they entitled for wanting better than the absolute bare minimum that they've seen for 3 decades? It's not an unpopular opinion, it's just utter bollocks 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No credit is ever given to the opposition for just being better on the day, it is always "We shouldn't be losing to these" "Totally unacceptable" etc etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In some ways I agree with this. One thing that always used to get trotted out when people were banging on about how good it is after a decent away following was ‘as a % of our home support.’ Not heard it once this season as our home gates are among the best in the division so its nowhere near as impressive.

bigfatjoe1 Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 Confused ideas about what = a community. The club has always relied on supporters from outside the narrowly and inaccurate old town boundaries. The club is a community in itself and has never (in living memory) relied on a town that gives it minimal support at best. That we're part of Lancashire. It's nearly 50 years since much more realistic boundaries were created. Get over it. That there exists a mystical tie with Frankfurt. I can't stand German robotic football. I even supported Rangers for the first and only time when they played Frankfart. That the Main Stand is some kind of listed building when, in reality, it's a slum that should've been pulled down along with other slums in the 1960s. Great topic. Gets a lot of your chest. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigfatjoe1 Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 Hahahaha. This is fun. It's like having therapy. I want to add how much I detest that minority of people who criticise Joe Royle's record by citing that little cameo he did as a favour to see the season out, ignoring the most wonderfully glorious years in the club's history. I really hesitate with this one, as I'm in a very small minority, but I hate all tangerine kits. I hate tangerine. I had a retro one. I looked like a giant satsuma. I actually prefer the all blue and all red (yes, red) kits of the early 1990s. We love tangerine - not we don't, most do, but not everyone..... okay, I'll get my coat now. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O.A.F.C. Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 That in the summer of 1994 we should of invested the money spent on making Boundary Park all seater into the squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I with you on the preference of kits. I don't mind the tangerine or the blue & white variations. But my favourite kits and for me latics will always be associate with Blue and Red. I grew up on it. That for me is latics. Edited April 8, 2023 by Canada_latic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone is interested it's Roger Moore and Empire Strikes Back. I have another one, the term Club Legend is used far too loosely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
