Diego_Sideburns Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 I bet this Lion on the Millwall Forum would have kept the parcel rather than pass it on. kevrelles Posted 12/12/2015 13:41 #1475076 - in reply to #1475072Subject: RE: GAME OFF Northern :censored:iung mongs,can't even get their pitch playable,we should claim the points,wankers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MOjo Posts: 3237 2000100010010025 Are they all :censored:? Wigan, Charlton and Oldham. Cannot think of any others in the football league. Seems the suffix of choice for bland clubs playing on the outskirts of big cities hoping to sound dynamic. Which is interesting (sic) as Millwall were the original 'Athletic' to my knowledge...unless Whisky etc can think of any other clubs with the Athletic suffix formed before us & who have played league football (altho we didn't as Millwall Athletic). On a very boring afternoon now it just got me thinking, one Athletic is a :censored:ty club from a rugby league town, and the other two struggle to get games on when it rains...it's a cursed suffix.

NewBlue Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 It's not just a British phenomenon. Wonder if they reckon Athletico Madrid ties in to the theory... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singe Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 That's surprisingly articulate...! Given the varies of transportation and communication, and relative leagues in that era, surely it is possible we had not even heard of Millwall Athletic?

longtimeblue Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 It's not just a British phenomenon. Wonder if they reckon Athletico Madrid ties in to the theory... Don't know if I'm dreaming it but I think Athletic Bilbao nicked it. All the English clubs nicked it off us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We played at 'The Athletic Ground' whilst we were Pine Villa didn't we. Always thought that's where it came from. Not having it anyway. It was ours first and every other :censored:er stole it. Wasn't there something about Charlton being formed but a Northern Latics fan/someone from up here, too? I can't be imagining all this.

I can't be imagining all this. You're not - at least the part about the Athletic Gounds - later known as Boundary Park. It had been the ground of the town's first professional team, Oldham County. They failed due to lack of money, went bankrupt .The "Oldham Standard" newspaper of 10 July 1899 wrote "The Pine Villa AFC has secured the Oldham Athletic Grounds and the club will be known in future as the Oldham Athletic club" I think the Charlton story is a fanciful myth! - there's no evidence to suggest their name has anything to do with us . Athletic wasn't that unusual a suffix - many clubs who didn't achieve longevity or league status had it.

Athletic wasn't that unusual a suffix - many clubs who didn't achieve longevity or league status had it. And Millwall Athletic was formed in April1899, the same year. So could be coincidence too. I know people travelled, but that chances of both being aware of each other seem slim to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobOAFC Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Scunthorpe and Shrewsbury both won their replays tonight - presumably the game will be rearranged for 9th Jan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBigDog Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Scunthorpe and Shrewsbury both won their replays tonight - presumably the game will be rearranged for 9th Jan. Would be the logical choice - just in time for the first winter snow... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
