So, who won the various awards?

That conjures up an odd picture!

Only 24 hours to go!

It's just like being a kid again - waiting so long for Christmas to arrive! I'm sooooooooooooo excited!

Revolution!

For some reason I've just thought of a colleague at work!

It’s part of the disciplinary procedures that exist in football, with 2 weeks fine being the maximum that is allowed by the PFA – or something like that!

I presume Jones would have been on the bench. If I ignored a clear instruction from my boss I'd get in trouble, why should footballers be any different? I'd expect Jones to be fined 2 weeks wages, given a written warning - and it's bye bye at the end of the season. Maybe he should have a rant on facebook!

Apologies

Only 20,000, even for the poxy Europa League, is pathetic. Hardy out!

You mean Th'Oldham Latics!

Could we do a (Leyton) Orient in reverse and drop the 'Oldham'? We would then be called Latics or Athletic? It could be seen as a proverbial 2 fingers to Oldham Council, and would also keep the option of moving outside the borough a possibility!

Would that make us brass bankers?

I listened to the entire pre-match interview, which nearly made me late for the game! Simon Corney also stated that we wouldn’t be ground sharing with Rochdale, Stalybridge Celtic or Curzon Ashton. However, he added that a couple of local authorities – and I think he said within a 10 to 20 mile radius - would welcome the club with open arms. The club was still considering options that some fans wouldn’t like. Corney also added that he has personally put money into the club over recent months, and has probably stretched himself financially. He was even asked how wealthy he was! I understood the comments about a new 6,000 to 7,000 seater Broadway stand to be an ideal goal, but the money simply wasn’t there to fund this. Like most Latics fans he would love to stay at BP, but wouldn’t commit to where we would be playing the season after next. Corney also stated that he would be happy for someone to buy the club outright, or to work in partnership with him. He tried to be diplomatic about Oldham Council, but said they had made some strange decisions! In general Corney seemed very positive and upbeat about the future.

Also see + and - bottom right.

Probably on the right lines, or the launch of a new club scarf! Isn't 'We are Latics' the current name of the club shop?

"Not wanted here I understand Oldham Athletic FC and the council are thinking of renewing their interest in locating to Broadway Failsworth, after the Charity Commission told them no.Don’t they know they are not wanted in our area. there has got to be other sites around the proper Oldham borough, surely? Why does the council keep getting rate-payers’ money to back up a private company? CP, New Moston" Not sure when CP was elected mayor of Failsworth or how s/he's managed to speak to every M35 resident! Nevertheless, I still think this project is dead in the water. If we do eventually find another site in the borough, which would create investment and a variety of new jobs, we should encourage local jobs for local people. This would exclude the Failsworth Nimbys! Not that I’m vindictive!

But who'll be the goalkeeper on the subs bench on Saturday? The semi-retired goalkeeping coach with one leg, or the 20 year bus-riding Facebook ranter? Just wondered!

Does anyone know how many season ticket holders we have in the RRE this season?

He was last seen as Technical Director of Maltese side Marsaxlokk, but he was reported to have left the club in 2009.

+ 1. And a little quote from Danny Gazal who said in December 2003: "The attendances are key. We need to get to a position where 8 to 9,000 people are coming on a regular basis."
