For something that's clearly not going to happen the link seems remarkably consistent and strong Riggo.

...perpetuated by an entity that needs to sell newspapers? I ain't gonna close the thread, but this is a newspaper story in the truest sense of the word.

Their average home crowd is not much less than ours now and they are about 5 divisions behind, if they ever make league football they will be starting out life in League 2 with 10,000+...like it or not!

Steady on, are you just plucking numbers out of thin air?

Because (I believe) they don't want a businessman taking over the club and it becoming MUFC2. They want it to be more community orientated. Due to that, they have found their level somewhat.

Very true, however Gigg Lane hoovers up a lot of revenue that would otherwise go to FC. I'd argue that FC may have a lot more power in securing contracts for players when the move into the Community Stadium is complete. I don't think anyone would argue against the fact that there is only so much a club can achieve without the potential of your own ground to create money.

Nah, its dropping off significantly now.

Now they have stagnated and not got successive promotions. So the plastic glory hunters have stayed away in droves. How ironic. Novelty has worn off I think.

I'd say that the initial 3000 averages were down to novelty, what we are seeing now is a gradual stabilisation of the fan base, although there are more people who have bought into the membership scheme than actually go to the games. The declining visiting fan is possibly something that any club could go through if they stay in one division for a while, it's certainly been a challenge for OAFC.

That's my only concern??? Why has he not gone for them?

He would not be able to, the membership would reject all offers as it would not comply with the clubs' core principles.

Nice one Hornets.

Time for a lot of people to stop reading the oldham Muslim chronicle

Care to expand on this?

Does any league 1 club really regard its website as "a major selling point in the digital age" ?

Stu Vose had it sorted, won an award too.

I can't wait for the game of "find a site for the stadium" to begin.

A dog with the poaching skills of Ian Rush.

Literally none of these suggestions have actually been sang yet have they? Not managed an away game yet so don't know if they have, can anyone tell me?

I doubt it. It's like reading through an insane man's jotter.

Packers-49ers was a decent game last night. Nice bit of rough and tumble at points. Kaep really does look the real deal I have to say.

 

I feared the worst when AP ripped off a 78-yard TD run with his first touch, but thankfully we kept him relatively quiet for the rest of the game. Reggie Bush had a nice debut, we actually look a threat out of the backfield for a change. Could still do with a legit WR2 to complement Megatron though.

Reggie Bush is a stud, always has been - can get a little lazy, mind, although always a name at the top of my fantasy list.

Oooops.

I just joined the Couch to 5k program in hopes to get a 5k under my belt by the new year.

I haven't heard of it, although good luck with the programme. Opportunity to run in the Cardiff Half for 2014, not sure yet I'll have to see - the missus is definitely running it.

Never said I hated them, I don't.

 

 

To be honest, he never said that you did.

ACTIVATE!

Update the :censored:ing "Trust" website n'all. As soon as the OWTB pressure is off your back you forget about it.

Really dont understand the situation i thought rushton went bust a few years back so how can a bankrupt club seek debts owed?

Bills relating to Nene Park.

Rushden and Diamonds hangover believe it or not, it's been rolling around for a while.

Hinckley have less than a week.

Non League Day tomorrow, spare a thought for a minnow. http://outsideoftheboot.com/2013/09/05/non-league-football-give-go/

rougheads haven't bad much less success then Salford.. founders of the super league, plenty of cup finals - won the 1st division a few times many years ago and won a few challenge cups, that was my point

...and it counts for nought.

but so have roughyheads

Forget this.

Salford have never and will never be a big super league team

Like Roger Ritchie says. they have had their moments - and I'd say they'll play/buy themselves into contention soon too.

There's just no excuse for that

I know, plain white socks and absolute chaussette faux pas if ever there was one. #bsfc
