oafc1955 Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 (edited) OK, the football has been really poor and we haven’t progressed as we would have liked but the club need you more than ever! If you listen to today’s BPAS podcast on you tube you will have a better understanding of just how much the Rothwell’s have put in and continue to put in to our football club. We don’t go to Oldham to watch fantastic free flowing football, if that’s what you want then stick to watching the Premiership on Sky/TNT etc. Next season we lose the parachute payments from the EFL and as a result will lose our academy. If we want our club to grow and prosper then we must buy a Season ticket, if sales fall off due to the product on offer the Rothwell’s might just start to think what’s the point, if the fans aren’t behind us why should we bother. Even though I will only be able to attend perhaps 50% of the games I’ve bought one at £220 which works out at £9.56 a match. We almost lost the club altogether and IMO it’s a small price to pay. We’ve come along way in the 2 years post ‘Lemmies’ but the owners aren’t going to get everything right all the time. If we stick with them and support them financially I have no doubt whatsoever that we will definitely get there! The football over the last few years has been awful and not worth the money at all but we all want a successful club contesting the promotion places. Keep backing the club and we will get there! I urge all of you to get that season ticket and show Frank that he is not wasting his time and his money!!

TheBigDog Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 I've had a season ticket for 35 years and will be renewing but its fair to say that it is more in hope than expectation. I have no faith that Mellon will become the manager who leads us back to the EFL. There needs to be a lot of manoeuvering and a number of shrewd acquisitions to start with a squad that meets Mellon's "I know what good looks like" mantra. My fear is that the financial restrictions for next season will not allow Mellon to start with the players he wants and he has shown that he cannot sufficiently motivate the standard of footballer he will have to work with. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you if I won the Euromillions jackpot I'd buy the club, make Frank and his family honorary members... and myself chief scout. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wardie Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 I can't get to matches because of a health condition and distance double-whammy but can manage the occasional game now and again. I go 50-50 with a mate who can get to most games, so although not a full contribution, a little is better than nothing. I think the OP has made a pretty good case for getting behind the club if not the set of tossers we have playing for us at the moment.

Glossop, you're a cock eyed optimist. I'm getting one in the hope that Oldhamer Brian Cox can persuade the club to change the player entrance tune to "Things can only get better" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spanishfly Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 I`ve no desire whatsoever to contribute to paying the wages, over the summer, of a large proportion of this current squad. I`ll await what I hope will be a clearout of the dross and then make my mind up. If there is no clear out (including quite a few of the contracted players that MM alludes to) I`ll be a POTD. FWIW I don't think the season ticket money is actually that big a deal. It's relative peanuts in the grander scheme of things. We shall have to wait and see whether the people with the money are still willing to pump it in the way they have over the past couple of years (and by that I don't mean on signing/paying average to mediocre players on inflated wages). Fingers firmly crossed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you average that out at £200 it’s around £900k and with the increase for next season a similar take up would be almost £1.2m….I’d hardly call it peanuts! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet there's no other 2 people on this board who express similar views are there? P.S. i`ve just looked at wiseowls profile. Saw many posts regarding season tickets in connection with his/her protests under the ownership of Lemsagam. None exactly like mine at all regarding season tickets. Wiseowl also went to a lot of away games apparently. I can't easily get to away games without help because of a disability. I haven't drunk alcohol for over 10 years and I think the wise bird was partial to a beer. Can we please let this silly conspiracy theory go now once and for all?
