I think if you go into admin after March, the hit doesn't happen till the season after but I might be wrong. |  |

I heard this story the week we played them at Spotland. I wouldn't be surprised if they did, but it depends what pressure they are being put under by their creditors.
Not impossible by any means. |  |

Looks like the deduction would be this season.

Wycombe's last minute equaliser yesterday could be as costly as Walsall's. That's one big "could" though. Not a word about it on their forum. [Post edited 1 Jan 1970 1:00]

Their Golden Ticket idea has by and large been a disaster (from the Chron, including typos):
SIMON Corney has launched a major attack on what he sees as a complacency culture at Oldham Athletic that has seen him “badly let down” by his players.
After losing money with the Golden Ticket promotion – a deal offering five home games at a heavily discounted price to boost attendance – the chairman said players havn’t lived up to their side of the bargain.
The 1-0 home defeat to Leyton Orient was the final fixture of the five. Acros the games Athletic produced only four goals and one victory.
A furious Corney said “It is a huge missed opportunity. I feel like I have been kicked in the teeth with these performances. To play as we have, against sides lower than us in the division, is not acceptable. “
The club’s gates were boosted by an average of 893 extra home fans across the five games at Boundary Park | |

It seems that too much hope and emphasis was put on this 'Golden Ticket' promotion, as though it was a panacea for their problems. It obviously hasn't reaped the rewards they so badly needed, and now there are angry voices from 'upstairs'.
My local shopkeeper has been a Latics fan for decades and his 'sources' have been telling him since Christmas that finances 'were a problem'.
Exactly where that leaves them now is open to speculation, but clearly there are mutterings that all is not well, and the statement referred to would appear to confirm that. | |

its worth taking into account that a boost of "only 893 fans" is probably only telling half the story. Given the number of games in close proximity, it's safe to assume their attendances would have taken a hit during the time. |  | | |

With an 10 point deduction they are still 3 points & a game in hand on us. |  | | |

This old chestnut has come up at this time of year for the last three years.
