Looking at Fanbase just now and there are tickets for sale for a Christmas party at the Ratcliffe on the evening of Friday 11th December £45 per person.
I thoroughly enjoyed the match on Saturday, and driving home after a good win always feels special. I thought the club organised the day well, offering Oldham the mandatory 20% of tickets. and the stewarding and policing around the ground were the best I can remember for an Owdum derby. We know they have form. Restricting the Willbutts stand to the mandatory minimum is the right way forward.
I was intrigued by the attendance. Officially announced as 6121, of which 1880 were from Oldham. So that means we had 4241 home fans. Which for us, and the recent form we have been in, was tremendous. And something to build on for project 5,000.
We announced we had sold over 7,000 tickets the day before the game. I know about 85 Oldham fans (4%) that had bought a ticket didn't show. But by my calculations we had 800 of our own fans with tickets that didn't show. They can't all be the free kids season tickets surely as the stands looked pretty full to me. Or did they show and we don't count them as they are free?
Knowing that the ground has a lower capacity today of c9800 compared to 10,300 when redeveloped, and stripping out the Willbutts capacity, COA has a home capacity of c6325. About 2100 more than attended on Saturday. Where would an additional 2000 fans go because the seated stands looked pretty full to me. And the Sandy didn't look like it could accommodate another 2,000 fans? I am simply intrigued.
When we were in the National League. You could subscribe to NLTV through DAZN and get the full 90 minute replay on demand.
Now that we are back in the EFL. I cannot find any way we can do this. I can rarely watch Sky Sports+ live because of other commitments I have on a Saturday. Nor can you record it to your Sky Q box. I can never find the match replays anywhere.
I look on the official site and they only offer an annual audio pass for people based in the UK.
Im.hoping that most have seen this message and updated or their tickets won't work. Tomorrow would be a bad game to have big queues and confusion at the gates.
Assuming everyone who was in the matchday squad for Walsall is fit, what would be your preferred line-up and formation?
I would go: Ramming Moss Flint Taylor Tasker Adeeko Gilmour Hannant Smith Hayes Brown
4-2-3-1 with Smith playing the 10 role behind Brown. If Hayes isn't fit then I would try Middleton there. Maguire being fit again is a welcome boost but I would be wary of rushing him back in and I think Moss and Flint can strike up a decent partnership with Tasker and Taylor either side. I also think Mani D needs to be dropped and the only viable forward we have in that position (save a cameo from Hendo) is Brown at the moment
This was recorded before the Newport game, but I haven't seen it before.. interesting in view of the recents events.. Simon and Laura talking about what they are trying to put in place ... interesting from Newport too
Albeit one of the best in terms of league position come the end of the season. The 2016/17 season didn't have the most auspicious of starts. What was the poor start put down to and how did Hill turn things around?
No words to describe the idiocy of this; it's in the same category as cycle lanes that never get used, but meet the remote bureaucratic fallacies of those sheep-dipped in contemporary claptrap
I know it’s been said before but this video serves as a timely reminder that there is a human being at the centre of our frustrations who does actually come across as a really nice and likeable chap
