So, Oldham is our next away game, and without getting carried away, if we beat Crewe on Saturday, this could be a very good attendance!

Never been before, so wondered what its like for parking, pubs etc?

Thanks!

A dump of a ground, but with an excellent new stand on the side (to the right of the away fans).  To be fair, the away end is OK too, and big if we need it.

Big car park round the back, but not sure if this is all reserved.  Judging by their attendances, probably not!

Just don't rock up to the pub chanting town songs, you'll not be allowed in by the "bouncers" as they'll think you're hoodlums....

Drink in Manchester, 25 minute tram up and then 5 min taxi to the ground. It’s all uphill to the ground from town centre.

I’m old so the memory’s going but I remember going to an away game there maybe 1980 or ‘81 mid winter. Open terrace, snow, wind whipping in. The coldest I can ever remember  my feet being and quite a view of the countryside. I’m sure we won and Tony Ford played but don’t hold me to that.....like I said, the memory is not what it was. I definitely remember we won there in a league cup tie in the ‘90s when we were sitting in the corner next to home support behind one of the goals. We went ahead (jack lester? and I started a chant of ‘we Want Sharpy out, I said we want Sharpy out’, graham sharp being their manager then and their supporters took this up....he was sacked the next day. Not sure I should be proud of that one.....but funnily I was!

We beat Crewe on Saturday, and two other results go our way we're top of the league. Can't believe I believe that! Sounds great.



No attempt at ethical or social seduction can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred of the Tory party. So far as I'm concerned they're lower than vermin. Aneurin Bevan.

Went last season, crap game. Parking on Hospital carpark 5 min walk away and not too difficult to get out and onto the main road.
