On Sunday, we welcome back two of last season’s stalwarts:-

=#0000FFGareth Walker previews the start of the NR Cup.
=#0000FFTony Williams expresses very forthright thoughts about the Crusaders! Much more like that and I’ll have to give him my flat cap, although he does describe his views as “treading carefully between flat-capper and foaming at the mouth expansionist!”

Also:-

=#0000FFRobbie Paul explains why he felt Sunday’s display was an improvement, for the Centurions.
=#0000FFIan Millward expresses disappointment at the absence of Wigan’s stars, but he too takes some positives out of last week’s game.
=#0000FFDave Parkinson previews Oldham, continues his stats updates and his look into the past.
=#0000FFJames Gordon queries the value of pre-season ‘friendlies’ and has a ‘pop’ at one of our (and Paul Rowley’s) favourite refs!
=#0000FFBob Shuttleworth lists a multitude of Leythers who played for Oldham, and a similar number of players who graced both teams!
=#0000FFSteve Manning looks back at the BARLA County ‘Tri-series’
=#0000FFAlan Edge strives to maintain his ‘flat-cap’ image.
Oldham fan=#0000FF Phil Whitworth is the first supporter to contribute to ‘A Fan’s View’ and he remembers a clash between the sides, that didn’t go the distance! Three Oldham fans asked to write an article, but we’ve only had two Leythers volunteer so far!
At the time of going to print we had not, unfortunately, received an article from =#0000FFLSV.
=#0000FFIan Colbert pens a moving tribute to a friend, the late Roy Wilson

A few on here will have the DVD of that Owdum games, and if you haven't well

That little piece you put have on here about the program really wets my appetite for matchday. Excellent little preview. All these little things that are happening around the club make fans feel like we are going in the right direction. Oh by the way Fred our Oliver's got the hump with you because you kept panning to the opposite side of the tunnel from where he was sat and he was desperate to see himself on the screen.

I was on that side until they put it ON the screen, unfortunately I wasn't in contact with the screen operator something which I hope will be adressed this week there should be a closer crowd 'view' as well as im taking my 'big zoom' camera for crowd shots, and a little 'gizmo' arrived today which should help with the cameras transfer pictures from crowd cam to game cam, I decided to 'shell out' a bit more cash but don't tell the wife

Make sure you get my good side Fred.

If you look like your avatar Mish any side will do for me.

I'm 85 years old and 20 stone, but if it's dark and you close one eye, I'm near enough.

which is?

Did the programme sell out on Sunday? At around 2:50pm I entered the ground via the North Stand on Sunday to find no seller around. Quite disappointing at the time as I was looking forward to purchasing one. However if they have all sold out then from a club perspective that is superb.

I could, I suppose turn up earlier to ensure I have a copy but I'll be perfectly honest, for me there is absolutely no other incentive at all to even contemplate that I'm afraid ...

Don't know how the sales went - Dave and I only write/edit the thing!

Aren't they supposed to be showing the Millward interview and previous game highlights, in the bars etc in an effort to entice folks in earleir?

he was definitely there, hes usually stood there waiting for people as the come through the turnstiles. maybe he was hidden by a crowd?

I couldn't possibly comment mish

Fair enough, It was however a generical question.





Whilst that may be welcome by a few, it still won't entice me. Anyway I look forward to reading one on Sunday as perhaps (like WBK666 suggests) it was myself who didn't spot them on sale.

Hey, I use the big words, in 'The Centurion'!

Actually, I would love to know how many they are selling, so that, when they ask me 'How can we sell more?' I might know where we are starting from. I think they get tired of my response 'Get more people into the ground!'

The Club were actually ascertaining where the sales 'hotspots' are supposed to be, and directing more programmes to those points. However, as the South stand was open, they may have directed more programmes to the affluent pie-eaters, at the expense of our north standers!!

I bought a programme in the North Stand just before 3, he was stood were he always is, to the left as you go through the turnstile.

And Mrs K was on the right selling me my usual waste of time ticket.

Dont want to be picky Alan but my name is Phil, not Paul!!

The programme looks like a good read though.

Sorry Phil - we got it right on top of the article though!!
