josh_latics Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Saw this tonight - it was really enjoyable. It's funny, and has tonnes of references to the 90/91 season. We even had Andy Ritchie end up on the stage at the end! Chris Taylor was watching too. Would definitely try and head down in the next couple of weeks if you get the chance. Did make me extremely jealous of not witnessing all the success though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philliggi Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Saw this on Sat. Only 2 of us were latics fans. One United fan with us and 2 non supporting women as well. All really enjoyed it. Laugh out loud moments galore. If your a latics fan and have the time to see this but don't. You want your head testing. It's brilliant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scapegoat Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Booked for the last night. Cannot wait (never thought I'd say that about a musical!). Lucky enough to have seen the "pinch me" years in the flesh (and England get to a WC semi-final).....football seemed easy and mostly enjoyable in those heady days. I do wonder if I'd have got the "bug" if I'd watched 10 years on league one dross at the start of my footballing life rather than the 85 to 95 period....

HoofItHolty Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I don't like theatre, certainly don't like musicals, but had a great night watching meat pie sausage roll. Unexpectedly enjoyable! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underdog Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 (edited) Have bit the bullet and booked, dragging the hubby too, may have to go out for a bite to eat first.

HoofItHolty Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 (edited) Having just read the 'review', I'd say the (unnamed) 'critic' knows bugger all. Apologies for all the apostrophes. Edited March 8, 2017 by HoofItHolty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Mikey Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 When I saw this was being made I was well up for it, particularly after the great job they made of "Dreamers". However, the main thing putting me off is the title. It makes me think they don't really get Latics. If they'd called it "Pinch Me" I'd have been in like a shot.

leeslover Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Went last night. If you're in doubt it's well worth it. Never seen so many Northern men of a certain age wiping their eyes at a musical rom-com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diego_Sideburns Posted March 20, 2017 Author Share Posted March 20, 2017 In promoting this show, the OS is perpetuating the Coliseum's incorrect information about the 1989/90 season. http://www.oldhamathletic.co.uk/news/article/2016-17/last-chance-to-see-meat-pie-sausage-roll-at-oldham-coliseum-3636500.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markgaston Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Fan bloody tastic!!!!! We went on Friday after a bite to eat at the Smokeyard and enjoyed every minute. Highlight for me at halftime, walking into the toilet parked myself at the urinal and whose next to me, only big Joe himself Chat with the man saying he couldn't believe it was all 25+ years ago, made my night.

Diego_Sideburns Posted March 23, 2017 Author Share Posted March 23, 2017 Went on Tuesday - very enjoyable! I wonder if the nostalgia value will entice some of the stayaways to return to BP. Good to see Latics had a full page in the programme listing the remaining home games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddog Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 We're taking the mothers tomorrow for an early Mother's Day present. Really looking forward to it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafcprozac Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Went last night, thoroughly enjoyable. Mrs P loved it too... as my last visit to the Coliseum was in 1985 as an eight year old to watch Mother Goose, I was surprised how small the auditorium was. The Stuart Pyke bits were a nice touch, sounded like a mixture of re-recordings (good of him to give his time up) and the live chaos of the final day. Glad I went.

Dick_Valentine Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Had a ticket for Tuesday evening, but never went in the end. Sounds like I should have made more of an effort? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
