Why pay through Oldham’s site and give them £ ? Just boycott the game entirely.

Because GTFC has a very big fanbase for its size as a club, it always has and at times it doesn't deserve it.... I've sat for a bit I think, and actually, you're right. Stop any penny going into the club

i think that because you go via the oldham site you are automatically registered as an away follower.The revenue from the first 500 sales from Oldham go GTFC,once they have exceeded 500 sales the revenue then starts going to Oldham.
the other thing to bear in mind that we are one of the biggest sellers of ifollow, with about 1100 sales (?). but most teams will get over 500, so by buying via Oldham the money is more than likely to end up in the Latics' pockets rather than Fenty's


Cheers, sorry, as with another poster I thought we were away!

Think a lot of people are tinkering round the edges here. My policy is that until the club has new owners in place GTFC does not exist. Don't pay for ifollow, not even listening through the GTFC ifollow although I've paid for the season. I'll be a passionate Mariners fan until I draw my last breath but it'll be the BBC website for odd updates at best.  It's slightly easier because the current incumbents have put together the worst town side in my living memory. Starve them of oxygen like they don't exist
Definitely don't respond to GTFC trolls attempting to divide fans!

Confused .com , surely any money coming into GTFC , helps staff wages, ground upkeep, players wages etc. it dosent immediately go into Fentys pocket does it?.  Are we hurting the Club not the real target. As i said im confused .com. Please clarify .

Yes, but if we don't contribute, he has to. The club is run on fan money, the board input is zero, although they get to decide what to do with our money. The outcome of their decisions is continuous dire football and relegation battles. Stop feeding them. Starve em out.

I’ve paid for my season ticket so can’t do anything about that and so I shall watch in the hope that supporting the team(not Fenty) will help with three points that we desperately need. UTM!

Personally I’ve kept my money I would have used to one side. If and when a sale is completed I will give this to the club so not to have an impact on them - whilst fenty is involved though there won’t be another penny going from me to the club I’m afraid.

As fan’s we’ve already done more than our fair share. Buying season tickets knowing it’s unlikely we can use them, buying shares or donating to various fund raising activities.


All Town aren’t we

Fair enough. Don’t blame you. Watching won’t help the team of course.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.
