Frankly Mr Shankly Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 If Notts and Chesterfield shared 36,000 last season meaning 18k each, surely we'd match or eclipse that given our standing as the best pound for pound supporters in the league™? Bank holiday weekend too and the first genuine sniff of glory in over 40 years. Oldham will be empty, man. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure plenty of others have +1s who have heard the comedic Oldham tales - been dragged along to the odd away match, experienced being a part of loud away ends and would like to end up seeing a grand crescendo under the arch.

oafcmetty Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 (edited) Since about 2007 we've only topped 8k fans at two games - Dorking at home (the Frank game) and Hudds in the FA Cup. (and Kiddy, thanks Paddy) Edited March 19 by oafcmetty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly Mr Shankly Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 How is home match attendances comparable to a major final at a flagship stadium that most supporters will never have been to, on a bank holiday weekend? The only thing stopping us taking 20k is a train strike that weekend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finals are something the whole town gets behind, it becomes much bigger than the normal fanbase for the reasons you mention. We should shift 20k quite comfortably.

When I went for an interview for a job in NatWest at the Greenfield branch in 1980 the manager asked if I'd be interested in working for the bank in London. I got back in the car afterwards, flicked the radio on and the first track on was London Calling. The rest is history. Pretty obscure track by the clash called 'Bankrobber' . Just wondering like lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ended up selling stash tins off a blanket in the park that day when a mate handed me shopkeeper duties for 10 minutes then I didn't see him for about 3 hours. By which stage the worse for wear entrepreneur in me was knocking them out buy one get one free forgetting I was halving our profits but impressed at the business I was doing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We probably ended up in The Plough or Black Horse on Manchester St but Sir Alan would have had us buying our own no doubt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
