MAC0AFC Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 I might be in the minority but I feel, if we are going to go down the same usual boring non league teams for our first few freindlies, why not organize games against the likes of stockport and FC united?? these would at least give us fans something to watch!!

Latics_Fanatic Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 FC United would be an interesting one. Money-Making too i'd guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisbrogan Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 FC United would be an interesting one. Money-Making too i'd guess. Would be pointless. They play in the division below Stalybridge Celtic who I'm sure would be grateful for our money as would Halifax who would provide a sterner test with the added benefit of not singing about the Glazers.

Monty Burns Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Would be pointless. Apart from a crowd of at least 3500 paying £10 each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forte_Baby Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Apart from a crowd of at least 3500 paying £10 each. If we play them it proberly be at gigg Lane its very rare you see a Non League side other than the FA cup play us at Bp you be lucky to get 1000 here.

Monty Burns Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Dont be daft there would probably be more of them than us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forte_Baby Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Dont be daft there would probably be more of them than us. True no appeal for the Oldham fans not at Bp anyway few would go as its a day out in Bury something myabe 300 or so. Guess its a change from Barrow and Mossley dunno do if i could put up with some of there fans arrogrance. Look at me we follow Non League sameones who use to look down there noses at smaller clubs anyway but no think think there Houllier than thou.

kellys_discopants Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Apart from a crowd of at least 3500 paying £10 each. The game would attract a large police bill though I'd imagine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAC0AFC Posted May 15, 2013 Author Share Posted May 15, 2013 they bring more to away games.. they played newcastle town and took just short of 2000, us being Oldham and them being all ex United fans they will bring a fair few to our ground, i remember when our reserves played them at BP and they brought about 300 and didnt stop singing all game - put the game on at BP would bring money in and a bit of an atmoshpere; a lot better then many other pre season games at BP that are like going to church Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forte_Baby Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Kieran another point of friendlies is testing the players against fairly decent opposition going beating a team 5-0 6-0 at Boundary Park won't benefit them. Be a tougher game at gigg lane. Rather play a SPL team or lower ranked Prem side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deyres42 Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Playing a non league side at home in a friendly would be a new low, even by our standards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I`d highly doubt, there was only 1600 there in total (home and away) this summer just gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
