Not bad, but better if the Southport and Lincoln dates had been reversed and Warrington replaced by Curzon Ashton.

If we lose to Stockport then MM should walk

Enjoyed last seasons pre-season fixture list as managed to tick off a few new stadiums, so would have preferred playing someone different than Southport and Radcliffe again. Warrington will be a new one to tick off, and hopefully the 1 we are yet to announce will be someone we haven’t played before, but will probably be Curzon…..

Is that three years running that we've played Radcliffe? Becoming a traditional curtain raiser.

IS the TBC the Dorking reunion ... that was rumoured

Probably more to do with the Nicky Adam's connection, similarly Brabin and Southport. 

 

I had heard rumours about a week in Scotland but that appears to have been knocked on the head given the intensity of the pre season programme locally.

Suspect it's the Nicky Adams link. Apart from playing there he was doing some age group coaching with our our academy 

[Monty Burns]

looks s deliberately tough schedule, league teams at home and non league teams away.

booooo boyz must be excited already.

The July 30th game is away to Warrington Town (they've announced it last night)

Might see some triallists in the line up on Saturday given how many are around the squad.

[Simpo]

Does anyone know if the fan bar is open or closed tomorrow, with the stand itself closed?

 

Clayton Green is now permanently closed as well...

It’s been open for the England games, so would be bizarre if it weren’t open tomorrow. 

Not surprised about Clayton Green. Location obviously good and it’s where majority of away fans head too, but the food is truly appalling.

Warrington Rylands away this evening - Northern Premier League Premier Division side.

 

A chance to get some minutes into legs for the squad.

Latics are going down hill again fast.

Main stand upper closed tomorrow!!

How will I be able to moan now?

Flakey pies as well.Whats happening?? To my club??

[mick26]

Doesn't look to be the most exciting lineup considering it's more or less our first choice 11.

Hope we have a good start to the season as it all just feels a bit flat at the minute!

Lower expectations, higher delivery would suit just fine.

For the last couple of seasons we have had huge expectations/sense of entitlement with squads which were supposedly made for the division. 

Team spirit and pragmatism may be vital assets this season.

[Boyyou]

Don't do pre-season games.

Anybody there give us an idea of how we look today?

Nil nil at half time. I'm not there, but these are some of the comments on Twitter. 

 

"Only a friendly, but the football is so much better. You can tell they have been told to cut out the hoofing shite"

 

"Playing the ball really well. The get it forward main stand moaners going to be up in arms that we aren’t hoofing it"

 

"It's great to see us keeping the ball a lot more but Lundstram really needs to move the ball forward more. Can see the other lads getting a tad agitated with him too"

 

"Fondop looks like a raffle winner playing with a few actual footballers"

 

"Josh Kay gives me Gary Harkins vibes with his looks and the way he glides"

 

"Look OK, playing decent stuff, careful with the ball... Patient.... Clever... but we absolutely cannot go into the season with Fondop as our front man"

 

"I don't care what happens for the rest of this game. I've just had the pleasure of watching a right wing back glide up down the pitch in an Oldham shirt for the first time in 56 years"

Looks like it's just Jimmy Frizzell and Joe Royle tomorrow.

Joe Royle and only the large section of the Jimmy Frizzell stand with the away supporters in the main stand lowered CRE side
