What a mess. Sounds like lots of disparate groups with axes to grind. The owner sounds like he seriously upset quite a few people. Some of whom clearly want revenge and don't care if the club is caught in the cross fire.

The club is caught in the cross fire of a man who is running it into the ground, there’s a disparate group of people who care more about saving it than being able to watch the games, more power to them

surely that’s integral to all of us fans, it’s what football is, 99% discontent.

It’s the best game but there will always be more to strive for, your opponents will always exist, your successes are only ever fleeting and in the moment. Such is life.

I wonder if there’s another side of the story here, that corporate communications cannot share - it can’t be just expressing anger at football or onions or playing style. ie was the fan doing a consistent organised and deliberate subversive campaign. To what end, hope for a takeover or own the club but be in the NorthWest Chip Butty second division.

Here's a link to a petition that will at least create some more publicity for the 3 guys that have been unfairly banned by OAFC. Imagine how many Bees fans would have been banned if Noades et al had been allowed/bothered to do this!

Laws on this I'm not sure. Can you ban a fans from other grounds because they piss an owner off ? What I've read it's not a EFL ban, more importantly if nothing criminal is done, can they be reported to the police ? I'm very confused. Will this be a new precedent.

It seems well over the top to me.

Totally agree that as no criminal law has been broken. GMP cannot seek a banning order at all football grounds.
Also football clubs are private members clubs and it would need the agreement of the away club to enforce a ban and risk upsetting its own supporters groups etc.
If BFC executed their no entry instructions I would be horrified.

You can’t come in because I don’t like the colour of your tie

You can’t for EFL. Prem games are a different matter. The home club control the method of sale as away games are always all-ticket.

I have a feeling this Oldham fan won’t fall foul of that intricacy any time in the next century

that did cross my mind when I posted. Ok, I would assume if Oldham make it to the premier league it would be under a new regime and the ban will be lifted

Perhaps the current regime work out hit the top flight and banned fans allowed back in with a big slice of humble pie

Brings back memories of our cup game. Especially the antics in the posh seats and CC waving his arms around.

@opinions4u (RIP) with his wise and funny posts would have put a humourious spin on this. Kinda of glad he has moved on (God forgive me)

Oh, for but a MB this could be us

Never a truer word spoken. Really sad for their fans. Proper club.

You only have to look at their neighbours Stockport County to see how long it can take to get back into the league. I believe they've been down (and down again for a couple of years) for 11 years now, only winning the conference this year. Honestly it's looking very bleak for them and sadly expect they could end up rebuilding as an "FC Oldham" or something.

Boundary park was a guaranteed fixture for a number of years, due to where I used to live it's possibly the away ground i've been to the most, reckon I've been 8-9 times. Always freezing. What's worse is they got relegated by Salford FC who are another fake football team, who literally no one cares about apart from a few class of 92 fanboys. I feel sorry for Oldham.

I agree with all but the last bit.
They had their relegation confirmed by the fanboys, but their relegation was more a foregone conclusion whoever they played.

It's a shame to lose them out the league but as has been mentioned, piss poor management has led to this. Poor ownership and no real direction.
Thank god we have MB.

I have wondered, but never bothered to find out why…if Scholes had any interest in Oldham, surely that would have been cheaper than bringing Salford up to scratch
 

Oldham Athletic

A real shame to see Oldham relegated out of the League. Such a rich history and tradition. Sadly, hugely mismanaged. Sorry indeed for the loyal fans who must be distraught.

Yes. Defo freezing and windy up there. Is Boundary Park the most elevated ground in the EFL?
 

Oldham Athletic

Great project to buy if you had the funds. Ex Premier League club, and the only way is up you'd imagine.
 

Oldham Athletic

I think they would have welcomed Ron “Ronnie” Noades with open arms after the last lot.
And he’s dead.

Good luck to him, but he managed to insult Dorking Wanderers in his opening speech to the fans. Relatively mild stuff and he probably got a bit carried away, but I suspect he’s written Dorking’s team talk for them.

Feel for them massively. Oldham shouldn’t be in non league.

Salford aren’t fake IMO. They aren’t the reason why Oldham are where they are.

A club founded in 1940, there’s history at that club and it had its own small fan base that’s been taken on journey up the leagues with new owners, a lot of investment and a new ground............. sound familiar? I bet there are loads of fans saying the same thing about us. No axe to grind here.

Yeah Neville and Co turned it into a bit of a circus but good luck to them. If they want to put their money into a club and run it the right way then fair play to them.

It’s not the same club that they took over in non league but it’s not as if it’s the same background as an MK Dons for example.
