Potential threat from the weather to Saturday's match
at 22:17 26 Nov 2024

Copied from an Oldham social media page. I thought he was joking, but then he bollocked me for laughing.

"And I still can't figure out how West Bromwich Albion's ground in the Midlands is higher above sea level than Oldham Athletic's ground further north? Surely the more north you go the higher above sea level you are? it just doesn't make geographical sense."

Wit? Nah, not my wit, as I just adapted a quote from an ex PM of NZ, Muldoon.
Used to have a business in Oldham. We did some work for OAFC, and never got fully paid, so any chance to wind them up suits me.

Oldham did have their "day in the sun" in the Royle era, and I do not begrudge them that. I am sure several Dale fans at that time transferred their loyalty. However, it should be noted that when this happens, the net effect is an increase in the average IQ level of both sets of fans.

Have seen on Facebook that someone has travelled from Australia with this game on his "to do list". He has my sympathy, happened to me on a visit in 2018.

Agree. I hope to be visiting the UK next year, and, as someone with a distrust of internet purchases, I would be keen to buy books.

Had to put this up. Plenty of theme tunes with a 60's feel about at this time (The Persuaders, The Saint for example). I had to argue with my parents to be allowed to stay up for this series. Ahead of its time, and different.

And the bridge has been opened up!. The ground moved. New clubs accepted, and others gone.

I played in the same colts team as Littleborough stalwart Chris Dearden (Noddy), but at Rochdalians RUFC. He is still playing cricket, both with 'Boro, and England seniors. There was an excellent photo in the Observer of Noddy and Joel Garner crossing in midwicket...Garner is very tall, Noddy isn't.

Correct. Gaudeamus Igitur...How come there has never been a football chant to that?

In answer to another post above, I made the effort to go to Owen Elbourne's funeral to pay my respects. He persuaded me into Rugby Union from League, and the contacts I made there led to life changing events for me.

Yeah..nah is my answer. I went there the year they changed the name, just had one year under W E A March, and then Wardell came in and it went downhill fast, despite McClelland's efforts.
If the Ogden's do come on board, I would not be against naming a stand after them after their coronation...The Stand Ogden seems to have a familiar ring to it.

A bit of a parallel with the guy in Oldham, and they quickly improved.
Business success, philanthropist, local, and scientific, all positives for me.
I wonder what influence W A E March, Owen Elbourne, and "Bull" Ramsey had on him?

Is there some irony in that "a group of F1 drivers" are mentioned?

Following on from this, am i correct in thinking that parts of Scotland/Peak district/Wales are split into sections, to allow people to buy and become a "Lord"?
Who fancies being Lord Spotland of the Penalty spot? For a suitable fee to the club of course.
This may be the legal pathway to follow...If they can do it, so can the Trust or club.

I disagree. As professional players, they should be targeting 4 wins out of 4.

Michael must be relieved that his parents did not have similar ideas on child naming as the Beckham's.
