Latics 3 - 0 Shrewsbury (HT 1-0) JCH 4250

Brentford are in immense form aren't they? Might well not be a mistake, an attempt to get people to lump on Peterborough as they rely on Brentford to win them [the bookies] money!

Interesting to see 29 people would have released Tarky in May. 7 months later, easily player of the season so far and being mooted for a 1 million+ transfer by some.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/25549382 Johnson has a list of potential signings. Come on Simon, get the cheque book out!

Bugger. I'll have to go with 1-0 Latics...

Yeah that's not a lot at all. It's all if's and but's, but you could say that a further extended and better service would bring in more customers, however, on the other hand we don't have that many fans to make a sufficient profit from it i'd guess. I'd be interested to see how many fans have dropped it since about 2009 when it was pretty decent.

Can Latics not pull out of using the Player service? Or is it a mandatory thing for football league teams? With some good planning and a bit of money invested, it could be properly revived under the Oldham Athletic name, rather than PremiumTV. I don't know how hard it is, but they could deliver so much more i'm sure.

I'd interpret increaced prices as families being forced out, especially since the financial crisis. Many can't afford to fork out on, for example, 2 adult season tickets and a kid one. Standing won't have an impact on prices at our level as we don't have the crowds to suffice a reduction in prices nor would we if standing was introduced. Good football is the only way to bring them back!

Clearly better than everyone else then?

How does standing reduce ticket costs? Or is it purely dependant on the assumption that crowds will grow due to terracing, thus ticket prices could in effect be reduced?

But, what about when we're in the Champions League in 2018?

Agree with the above regarding Hillsborough. However, i would argue that the laws implemented after the Hillsborough disaster, in terms of all-seater stadia, have somewhat improved the quality and standard of stadiums. Without them, we may have been stuck with old, crumbling grounds. (Although, BP may be argued to be just that.) In my opinion, that 20 years has given a period of important change in football across England, in which behaviour at games and safety has largely improved. With this change, it is now apt that we can trial the re-introduction of a version of standing, most probably the rail seating system. Trialing this at various grounds across the country will provide an important step in the process, also having it in a big stadium (Such as Celtic Park, as they have already volunteered should the SFA let them) will be majorly important in Britain. It works in Germany, so there's no reason it can't work for us! 100% supportive, love standing at grounds.

Block 126. Row 19. Gonna be a cracker!

Depends who. I think it makes more sense for a retired professional, like Ritchie, Palmer etc. However, singing Jose Baxter Baby is just daft, although i'll admit i still sing the lines instinctively when the Human League are on!

Has Madden not been a success in The Championship? League 1 might be his level, we can dream, if only he could show some form and an eye for goal like last season!

Happy Christmas! May the fat man bring more points and a win at Anfield for us all!

Said they're expecting to take about 30. However, they're just gonna book more to meet the demand if it comes to it, also running a back-up coach in case there's any problems.

Need all the wingers we can get at the moment! Good move.

Got our coach tickets today - we're on coach Q. Not bad at all, especially with more to get tickets and sort out travel.

I reckon about 1000 will go into the General Sale and we'll have sold out by early Friday afternoon.

I have a feeling that they've sold the two seats inbetween, shouldn't be a problem, we'll just see if they'll move up a seat so we can all sit together. I'm sure 99% of people would.
