Exactly this but some can't comprehend such a thing as pride in where they are from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to be checking if we are actually the pride of all Europe and the cock of the north. There'll be bother if I find out we're not. On a more positive note, we dont carry hammers or lead.

You probably mean Utd sang it when they came to BP in the seventies. My most vivid memory of singing at that game was being in the Ford stand upper and a load of the old boys chanting "easy".

Kusunga_Is_God Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Oldham is wonderful. I love the smell of the tobacco as it fills up Oldham Town Centre as the old crepid bastards shuffle into the Up steps at 8am.http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-35842488 God knows what it would be like if Saddleworth wasn't classed as being part of Oldham. The Unicef choppers would be lowering a glass dome as we speak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disjointed Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 If the opposition fans start singing "I wanna go home, I wanna go home, Oldham is scruffy and deprived, I wanna go home" Are we allowed to agree with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeP Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 (edited) *Adopts Alan Partridge voice*: This forum.... The point isn't whether Oldham is "a shithole" or not. The point is, whether it is or it isn't, we should have pride in the town! We should have a better response when away fans sing the song (rather than just agreeing with them!) and we certainly shouldn't stand for players who represent the town on the pitch slagging the town off!

Buckshawlatic Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 I moved from Oldham when I was 11, I’m 34 now and never shy away from saying where I was born and in no way ashamed of it. Oldham isn’t perfect but where is? A lot of my family still live there and I enjoy visiting and coming down for the football. now if you want a real shithole - check out most of Bolton!!
