Latics_Fanatic Posted July 17, 2012 Author Share Posted July 17, 2012 Why? members are still debating it. When they're all done it will disappear down the board all by itself. because i have come to the conclusion that being an Oldham fan is bollocks and always will be? On a serious note.. the 'debate' is just causing more and more tension between members and people will be giving their numbers out over Twitter.

I have an account but it's pretty much dormant. As for the tension, trust me no matter what the subject you'd have a few who just wanna play internet warrior's with their pet hates. Much like life really. there are some sad souls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristolatic Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 I doubt they will be playing a game 2 days in. We all hear the importance of pre season, its were they do the hard yards in training. Mario and David will have barely got the sand from between their toes. They play Wolfsburg a week later, my money is on that being their first proper outing. At best we will get Hart, Milner, Lescott and Nasri if their 4 weeks break started the date they were knocked out. Having said that to any lemons willing to believe they will play their first team please get down to BP and hand over £15 be you City or Oldham. If your wanting to watch Balo, Silva etc why not spend a little more and take in a proper City 1st team game? Its only down the road and you get to see all the stars. I've voted you down, not because of your post, but because of your sickening sig. Probably the most insensitive one I've seen on here.

GlossopLatic Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 (edited) I think we should look at it like, this if we get a poor turnout the next time we get a big team in a friendly (and we will at some point) then the price will be much lower. If we get a full house and loads turn up we get much needed extra revenue. On a side note how many memorable friendlies have we had?

Burnley a top club at the time. . drew 3-3 OFK Belgrade First foreign team to play at BP I think. 61/62 won 3-1 FC Thun, from Switzerland, 66/67 won 9-2 with John Collins scoring six Internacional from Brazil 74/5 lost 0-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To my recollection Latics lost 6-0 and the lower rows spectators sat in the stand got drenched. Edited July 17, 2012 by BP1960 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stargazer Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 We beat Liverpool 1-0 (Quinn penalty) in a pre season friendly before they won the double under Dalglish ,if my memory is not playing tricks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoytonLatics Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 (edited) Didnt we beat a strong(ish) Bolton team 3-0 last season or the season before? Not as memorable as some of the league or cup games we've had over the years, but still good to watch.

another fan Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 So none in the last 35 years then OFK was my first game with years of torment to follow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldhamoafc Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 (edited) The bottom line of this friendly is if we get told via a statement from either club that the odd world class player will play some part then most people will go. If we get told its kids then not many will go. If we get told the stars are going but dont turn up then both clubs will look silly. Edit: If we get told nowt then make a choice and stop moaning about it. Edited July 18, 2012 by oldhamoafc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimsleftfoot Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 What if you want to support your club, but you don't think £15 is reasonable for a friendly? Hope that you don't have to make any serious decisions if you are struggling with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
