He said it had picked up in the last week or so, and he thinks we are at about 2500 or thereabouts. Worrying numbers. 4500+ last season, which I presume includes the half season tickets. I vaguely remember it was around 3700 last season under early bird if memory serves me right. At this time last year Latics tweeted that 2,500 (and counting) season tickets had been sold. In August the Oldham Times reported that 3,700 season tickets had been sold, just prior to the opening league fixture.

Putting aside that it is a bit naughty to be extending when people may have had to stretch themselves to beat the 'deadline' it just gave off the wrong vibe for me. No acknowledgement of the mistakes that have been made, no explanation for why they are sticking with this manager, no semblance of how they plan to fix it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that level of detail is required in relation to this. Maybe it would be nice to hear it at some point... and probably not from Frank, but someone who's making the "Football decisions".

Lots of things will need to come together for it to happen and I expect to be here in 4 years time. May be shorter if the stars align, but that’s a long shot. from there we won’t establish ourselves as anything better than lower half l2 and will probably drop down again. I think this is our level now and anything above that will be fleeting appearance when we are punching above our weight briefly. in short, top half NL is our baseline. Is that you, Barry? Care to explain Stockport's recovery, then? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is my opinion. I make no apologies for that. Yes it’s a negative perspective but it’s my view and it’s how I read the situation. now go and have a wank over that draw against chesterfield. if you are not ok with my holding a view, then you have a problem. with thanks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
