HawK Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Sorry if Giggs, but.. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/28522535 Oldham Athletic: Photocall off with new strip still to arrive Oldham have had to cancel a planned photocall - because they have no strip. The League One club are waiting for home and away strips from new suppliers Sports Direct and have been playing pre-season games in training gear. Oldham are also without a club shop, although a new store is being built in the club's as yet unfinished new stand. A club spokesman said they would unveil a new away strip on Thursday with the home kit to be revealed on 7 August, two days before the season kicks off. Oldham signed a seven-figure sponsorship deal with Sports Direct in the summer. As part of the deal the firm are to open a new store at SportsDirect.com Park and supporters have been told they will be able to order the new kits, when they are available, online or from local Sports Direct stores. A spokesman said: "We look forward to unveiling our new kit and seeing the fans wearing it." Where's our 7-figure sum?! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Averages are a bit dodgy when you've gone from 5th to 16th Would rather a 5th & 16th than a 10th and 11th like.

Varadi Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 How the hell can a season ticket cost more than buying the individual 19 tickets? I think it's mainly down to all the cheap deals they keep offering - you know for a fact they'll sell half season tickets at a reduced rate come Christmas so even if you just buy individual tickets until then you'll probably end up ahead.

It's nothing to do with cheap deals. The standard cost of a season ticket in the Gallowgate for 14/15 is £578. A member buying 19 single tickets (at Man City Prices) would pay a total of £567 (inc £35 membership). Cheaper to not get a season ticket this year.

Wullie Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 None of us are going to be in the least bit arsed about it, not least because they're bloody hopeless, but it's still poor employee relations to take such a standard practice away from them. It's easy to say "tough shit, I don't get X, Y and Z at work" but most real big companies and sporting institutions will offer their employees some fairly decent perks. He doesn't care though, the bloke's just utterly obsessed with money. http://media.her.ie/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/money.jpg "How much is enough?" For Mike Ashley, the answer is that he can never have enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 People seem to think that they have to pay to go to games, the back room staff are still getting their tickets for free, it's just that they are not allowing their friends and family to get it free anymore. Nothing wrong with that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
