rudemedic Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Comments like that are made to backfire. They're like Bradford last season. Feel good factor from promotion gives them a boost. They'll fade, but not until after Christmas. The Bradford of pre-January were quite a decent side,The Bradford of post-January were bobbins and their eventual league position reflected this. They sold Nakhi Wells for £1.5 million+ in Jan. (Change Bradford for Chesterfield; Nakhi Wells for Doyle; and take a substantial amount off the fee).

ChaddySmoker Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 I remember a record coming to an end at Chesterfield many moons ago. I can't remember the season, but we had won 9 on the bounce, went to Chesterfield and played terribly, I think we lost 3-1. I hope I'm not putting the mockers on. I thought it was 1-0 to them in late 1974, after we had won 9 in a row in the days of Groves and Garwood, never mind unbeaten runs lets get some wins-starting on Saturday!

ChaddySmoker Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 1st game of the season for me Since you were calling for the head of LJ in late August, perhaps you could enlighten us with your opinion of his team after you have seen them!

mikeroyboy Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 (edited) I remember a record coming to an end at Chesterfield many moons ago. I can't remember the season, but we had won 9 on the bounce, went to Chesterfield and played terribly, I think we lost 3-1. I hope I'm not putting the mockers on. Don't worry. Football results take in all manner of sequences. There will be the usual three result options and will depend on how we play, how they play and a element of luck. I am looking forward to this game being a hum-dinger with our away support being the best of the season. For all those dithering - just do it - you know you want to.

We got bricked too! My apologies it was 10 wins in a row-in the League but losing 1-4 at Home to Burnley when their fans came over the pitch to the Chaddy! http://www.11v11.com/teams/oldham-athletic/tab/matches/season/1974 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeylandLatic Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 initial allocation of 600 Sold out. 1000 available on the day. Got to be looking at 1k oldham fans should be a good atmosphere come on oldham! Anyone on here paying on the day? I'm surprised we've sold the initial allocation to be honest, we normally sell very few in advance. I'm paying on the day, I'd expect a turnout up to around 1250.

Monty Burns Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Yes paying on day didn't see any benefit to buying in advance. I predict around 1300 with an 'official' number of 1012 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prospect100 Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 I'm a long time latics fan living in Chesterfield - Reminder that the parking around the Proact is not brilliant - avoid the Tesco car park across the road as it has security on match day and clamping etc but plenty of side street nearby as long as you arrive early ish I'll get my ticket at the booth behind the away end, may be queues etc depending on how many without tickets turn up (hopefully lots) Looking on their forum it looks like they think we may be a pushover based on that they have had a good run against us recently - they are definitely up for it !! and still very buoyant from last season They have a resident drummer etc in their end so lets give it to them big time from our end and then the team can do it on the pitch All big games, but this is a chance to get into a play off position for the first time in a long time !

Blue_Guru Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 (edited) I'm meeting up with some old Uni mates (annual jaunt) at the weekend and debating to make the short trip back from Sheffield to Chesterfield to watch the game then meet back with them after....definitely tempted given the following!

prospect100 Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Yep - good choice if in the town centre Pubs nearer the ground are predominantly for home fans !! such as the donkey derby Have a look at http://www.footballgroundguide.com/chesterfield/#B2Net-Stadium-Chesterfield-Pubs for other ideas Hopefully we can get this stand nearly full, and its great acoustics with even 100 fans !! so we can really give it some with aprox 1000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oafc88 Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 (edited) Went to the ticket office around 4:45pm to buy some tickets and they had even sold the extra 100 Chesterfield sent us.

I remember in the final (Northern) of the JPT parking at the hotel near the ground, cost a fiver or maybe only £3. 2 minutes to the ground from there.

NewBlue Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 There can't be another set of fans who obsess about attendances and away followings as much as us. I never thought this until some of our fans actually cheered the announcement of the away support as though we'd scored... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
