Looking at your own subject matters I wouldn't even muster any replies.

You keep bringing the subject in this forum, not me. I merely reply.

 

I love intelligent conversations, is that the limit of your reply ?

Given the subject matter, that's all I can muster.

:censored: me.

Ollie Banks, Tom Davies, Jon Worsnop, Charlie Raglan, Nelson Mota...

 

Better not mess with the Brighton Vasaline Boys then

I know a few on here that might like to.

Read about historical clashes between Oldham and Bradford supporters in the publication Getting A Nasty Shock available from Amazon and all good book shops.

You are Chris Morris, and I claim my £5

 

I saw the full video of the Bradford City fire and still see people throwing discarded lit cigarettes and matches into bins and other flammable areas, it makes my blood boil.

Excellent use of phrase there.

There are jobs. Off you pop.

Gordon having a pop aswell

Just the one?

To be fair the 2008 Droylsden/Pace FA Cup campaign was nothing short of farcical. Lucky to be just thrown out.

Bloods fans deserve a lot more than NPLD1 next season.

 

Shows how ill informed you are then doesn't it. A franchise is a business operating under a licence granted by another. FC Utd of Manc who play in Red, White & Black are a spin off of Manchester United who play in Red, White & Black. While technically not a franchise - as I outlined above - because the former were not granted permission by the latter, they are in effect acting as such. Otherwise, they'd be called Moston Albion and play in Pink and Turquoise.

I know FC isn't a franchise - you even said so yourself. What I will say is, if you can be bothered - find out why FC are called FC United of Manchester.

People are delving into business that is quite frankly, none of their business. I think as fans, some demand too much.

In this case, you are correct. Fans of OAFC do not have any input into how the club is run or managed, that's the way it is - I'll say it again, if you don't like it - buy the club and run it your way, start a fan owned co-operative in the NWCL, or take it on the chin. But don't start moaning like :censored: when you think something isn't right with the club, you can't change it. And for anybody in any doubt about Owen's position in all of this - because I thought there may be a glimmer of hope - in the recently released video he speaks like a company man, not like a fans representative on the board.

As most of you know I am not the biggest Simon Corney fan and I have spent some money getting my hands on a few reports that are in the public domain, I would appreciate your time in reading some interesting things I have found out.....

 

This is all factual information from either purchasing detailed company information (www.companysearchesmadesimple.com) or oldham.gov.uk

 

Firstly - Oldham Athletic 2004 Association Football Club Limited

 

At present OAFC has liabilities of over £6m, this has riszzzzzzz.....

Boring.

 

...technically not, but they're using the name and kit colours...

That is some of the strangest reasoning I've ever heard, however I'll let you kid yourself you're right.

 

....and the FC Utd frachise with a further 1.6k....!

Not a franchise.

Droylsden going bust was one of bad timing - originated from DFC themselves no less; Ashton United and Curzon Ashton merging to become Ashton Athletic caught me out.

Salmon on a Scottish pound coin instead of the Queen will get some backs up in the Torygraph.

Bunch of inbred wankers.

I didn't misunderstand it at all and don't have a problem with Harry. You however seem to have a big issue but seem to be bit worried to discuss it face?

You're gone.

Still happens in non-league.

...and you can drink in the stands up to NPLPD level, at the clubs' discretion. On another note, I've been reading that 3G pitches are being installed at some non-league clubs, Maidstone, Stamford I think, probably many more - plus they are allowed to be used in the FA Cup next year.

 

The Oldham Athletic of 1994 don't exist today,

True, however it didn't go through the same death-life cycle the others did. For better or worse, you decide.

Why don't we allow our supporters to switch ends at half time?

I remember this happening at away grounds in the 70's, Bootham Crescent particularly springs to mind.

 

I remember my Dad taking me to watch Rochdale in the 70's and supporters swapped ends all the time - with most fans of both sides walking in a clockwise manner so we didn't mix, however I remember one game vs a local rival - I think it was Bury - and most of both teams men walked "through" each other and there was skin and hair flying

I loved the 70's and 80's - however football has never been able to recover from the damage done during that period - to be fair, the sport has rarely been given the opportunity - the government has seen to that.

Chester, Darlington and Scarborough of 1994 don't exist today; Scarboro Athletic, Darlington 1883, and Chester FC replaced them.

I was going to edit and cut all the crap from this thread but O4U has pretty much sorted it out, so I'm going to leave it up as it is - maybe for my own personal amusement at the expense of alex, although I will remove if requested.
