AndyGortonsMatches Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Those who inherited wealthy benefactors sorted their stadiums and playing staff, saw multi promotions and the fans crawled back out of the woodwork. Teams without any sugar daddy and without a pot to piss in, remain rooted to the lower echelons or now in non league and with diminishing fans who are at their wits end.

leeslover Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 The Oldham Athletic of 1994 don't exist today, It's the same football club but a different business. Not the same as Darlo or that Scottish outfit which are new clubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
