Oldham, Saturday

[HeCanDoMagic]

The pitch, well, I knew it was bad, but....

 

[Ricky]

Hoof it to Hanson anyone?

 

[JohnDenver]

Well if it's like that on Saturday we'll be having a day off.

 

[wizadry]

With the weather forecast for the week ahead, this could be a major doubt?

 

[Linz]

It's like MOTD from the 70s.

I can envisage there being personnel changes with that in mind.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

So they let an idiot fuck the pitch up even more, hope they go down fucking arse wipes.

That's their keeper too. Centre half filming it. It's how they roll in Oldham.

 

[Tyler Durden]

Tinpot shite like that is exactly why we need to get out of this division.

 

[raul]

Nothing to see here, BTL still has us down for four points.

Baseball Ground memries!

Yeh , sack the groundsman.

 

[Digger]

It will be a test but Champions rise to the occasion.
Will settle for a draw but I am confident we will adapt.
2-1 Blades after a battle.

 

[cahill]

Baseball Ground memries!

That pitch was awful

 

[HeCanDoMagic]

I broke this story over 12 hours ago haha!

 

[Bladey McBladeface]

I'm a fan of Basham in defence, but I can see him being pushed up to midfield for this one. Hanson a cert to play.

I think we could do with Bob Booker for this one. And Deano.

 

[Jon P]

Friday sun all day but still think the game will be off given its cats and dogs wednesday Thursday

Good. Hope it is.

 

[SwissBlade]

Bring back the plastic pitch

 

[Tunstall Fred]

Bring back the plastic pitch

I can still recall with much amusement Joe Royle after we had ended their unbeaten run on that plastic pitch,Up yours Fat Face

 

[BanbridgeBlade]

TIN HAT ON........................

Could Desso be a hindrance for a game like this?? it's about as polar opposite of our pitch as I think you can get in this division!!

I know we have won on some god awful pitches this season but combined with the loss of Lafferty i'm changing my previous prediction to score draw.

 

[corkysbeard]

Hasn't nobody off here been on to groundsman at oldham like they was against rochdale,ringing up for updates everyday and keeping everybody updated?

 

[Yellarbellyblade]

Get the big lumps in the team, not a pitch for flowing passing football

 

[blade too long]

Nothing to see here, BTL still has us down for four points.

i can only see us getting 3 , which is very down beat

anyway this team could play on steaming porridge

I like porridge with big lumps in it

 

[bigbirdblade]

Need a cricket roller on that.

 

[HeCanDoMagic]

Need a cricket roller on that.

Cricket roller? I'd say it be better off with dynamite lobbed on.

 

[Come from away]

Clarke and Hanson up front - is this the time?

 

[Aston max]

anyone going to the game feeling hungry toby carvery near the ground

 

[cahill]

Does the rugby league team play on it, might explain ?

 

[corkysbeard]

As anybody got any updates on Oldham's pitch and how it's looking 48hrs on from that video of one their players doing a sliding belly flop on it,is it looking any better from what it was and drying out any?
