ghostofcecere Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 My fear is that if only 3000 turn up tomorrow it's like saying the fans don't care either............. this could be the straw that breaks the camels back for Mr. Corney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latics4Ever Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Oldham Council clearly don't want Latics or the Rugby club to be situated in the Borough. As such, why the hell do we (as Oldham fans) really give a stuff about the club being in Oldham? Personally, I would much rather Latics survived and have a 'Manchester' or 'A.N.Other' postcode, than die on its arse with an Oldham postcode! End of the day its the team & club that matters not where the post office deliver our mail to. If it is that important to fans we could have the club set up without an address as such and just have a PO Box in Oldham! In view of the apparent behaviour and handling of the spineless councils involvement in this matter, I hope Corney tells 'em to stick it. Take the club elsewhere and let us thrive from our new green shoots. One idea IF we CAN stay at BP may be to explore rotating the ground through 90 degrees. Have the entrance that side and build 2 ends where we currently have the George Hill Main Stand and the vacant stand area now. Extend the Rocky Road end and have the (new) pitch closer to that side of the stand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueInAus Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Ashton seems to be the way to go for me, at least is has an Oldham postcode! From the sounds of it tho, Simon doesn't want to pay for more planning applications and all the bulldust that goes with it. Have always said, even before this mess. Oldham, love the club, hate the town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave_Og Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 That's a silly thing to say, possible but if we go into admin maybe there'll be another knight to buy the club again. Corney has said he won't put the club into admin so we need to see his next move. It isn't as simple as going onto admin - you would have to find an admisnitartor who can cocnlude that there is a possibility of the club emerging as a going concern otherwise it's liquidation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the amount of money he has thrown at the Failsworth project, i cant see him willing to chuck more money at an alternative location with no guarenteed positive end result for it.

oafc0000 Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Love the Club, Hate the Town. I like that. It came about last time the council screwed us over... Then we won on appeal and the sins of the council were forgotten... We shouldn't forget this time just how fecking useless they are...

I wouldnt mind moving to Tameside or wherever else is suggested, it may generate more fans, as Id kind of class it as an away day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takemeanywhere Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 We're not the Greater Manchester Globetrotters or the Tameside Tigers. We're Oldham Athletic. I'm delighted that so many of you would follow the club out of the town and I will wish you all well if it ever comes to pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueInAus Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 (edited) Love the Club, Hate the Town. I like that. It would be great to fill the stadium with people wearing t-shirts saying it. Something needs to be done to try and make a bit of news and shame the council. Edit: Or the players to wear it under their shirts to be shown after a goal Edited February 4, 2011 by BlueInAus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robboman Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Only problem with going to Ashton is that it has its own cinema, bowling & 3g pitches complex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
losesome Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Come to Oldham and enjoy a town with No football team. Nearly no pro rugby league team. No cinema No bowling alley No ice rink The most expensive takeaways in Britain due to a new Levy. No decent shops in the town centre No Town Hall No leadership with half a bollock. And yet the half baked counsellors that cause this still get voted in !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_ragg1984 Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Love the Club, Hate the Town. I like that. I don't. I like the town. It's just it's leaders that are :censored:e. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego_Sideburns Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 ... Simon is an emotional guy and I don't blame him for his reaction in the slightest... I agree with SC when he says on the OS he does not think the Council is capable of helping the Club to deliver the new stadium. The Council has shown ineptitude of catastrophic proportions where the Club is concerned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
