Oldham

I've been considering the same. I want to try and enjoy my summer!

 

They didn't feel for us in the FA Cup when they got a penalty that never was one!!!

 

Can't knock Oldham fans one bit, that club has suffered for a long time, from Premier league too non league is shocking running of a club.

They protested before the end of game to get more recognition, enoughs enough for them, their long suffering supporters can't take anymore they stood peacefully behind a banner with a message.

No doubt they'll get punished but they want to attract attention to the wrong doings, maybe premiership and football league should do more to stop bad ownership of clubs and meet some sort of criteria of rules instead of fans having to take drastic actions, unfortunately our club seems to be going they same way and no-one can stop what's happening to us.

 

I've got my Dad to think about, he's recently bereaved & we need to get him up to Leeds. He's 86. My DJ company is finally doing great, but paying back 18 months with zero work. Taking him to Filey for 4 days next week, which is his favourite place. BFC are always my first love in terms of sport & hobbies, but family means a lot more. Dad was mates with Rimmo & Brian Gover, but he has a tenuous grip on day to day stuff now.

 

You obviously thought Brexit was a good idea. Glad you are enjoying the experience.

 

PS it was an obscure Stewart Lee reference. Clearly you didn't get it.

 

All the best to you and your Father, JP.

 

I remember a few years back Blackpool fans getting their last home game against Huddersfield abandoned at half time, occupied the centre circle. I do think anyone could claim they weren’t real fans, trying to get that freak out of their club. IF there’s a legitimate grievance and their club is being damaged then this is the only way to get heard sometimes.

 

Cheers pal. Dad is full of stories. He's nearly totally deaf now. He wrestled for Brian Glover's agency. Now he is reduced to a mobility scooter. 86 is a good age though. He had a season ticket up to the Spackman year. Probably got out at a good time. The Robledo brothers were his favourites.

 

I never said I thought Brexit was a good idea or that I voted for it, who’s Stewart Lee is he on the board?

 

My late Father's last season was the 1980/81 promotion winning season. For years, his favourite player was Johnny Kelly. Then he saw Ronnie Glavin and he said Glavin was the best Barnsley player he'd ever seen & he began watching in the early 1930's.

 

Am I being controversial ,could it be money laundering.

 

Shut up ......... If I'd had to endure what their fans have over the last 5-6 years what else is there to do? Grow a pair.

 

As some may know I love a good conspiracy theory so here’s mine - Chien Lee is most probably a front for the Chinese government - part of a wider, state sponsored soft power diplomacy to legitimise Chinese economic hegemony across the globe. His business address is some basic @ss unit on a business park in the US, what’s that all about? and even in public the Chinese government admit control of what and how rich Chinese individuals can spend their money on abroad. Culturally, football and sport in general is the heart of many western countries, why wouldn’t the Chinese government want some of that to control? Ok maybe Barnsley aren’t exactly going or get you into the ear of nos 10 but I wouldn’t put it past them.

 

What are you on about grow a pair ? All I have done is to suggest that it would be better to protest at the final whistle , what is wrong with that ? & please do not tell me to shut up , who do you think you are ?

 

To be fair Oldham's owners make PMG look like Amazon.

Our owners have been negligent, Oldham's have actively been trying to destroy their club for several years.

They're in a right mess, and I hope for their fan's sake that they get the resolution they deserve soon.

 

Not sure of the analogy there, Amazon very shoddy working practices and tax avoidance!

 

Very similar to our owners then?

 

I might not be properly awake yet, I took it that the post was saying Oldhams owners are worse than ours?

 

I don't feel for Oldham at all. That dive by gunnar Halle was a ******* disgrace as was calling the game off for fog when we were already at the ground and could see the whole inside of the stadium.
