Oldham & Scunthorpe eh, old adversaries of ours, two famous away trips. The 7-1 at Boundary Park and, of course, the 3-0 promotion party game under Eddie May. There but for the grace of God.

Salford fans booing Oldham.
Forgetting they are a plastic club with no league history. If the Neville's etc take away their money, they will be back in the NPL very quickly.

I used to really like the Oldham team that played in the old First Division - they were a right handful at Boundary Park and had some really good players. Southend are another side that we’re thinking they could make the top flight not that long ago.

Is Oldham the first former Premier League club to lose their League status by relegation?

Re: Oldham v Salford result confirmed

Feel a bit gutted for Oldham, though they were at the start of the greedy league

when people moan about our fortunes, maybe they need to look at other teams ( like Oldham ) and think " we are not that hard done by "

They are.

It might be of interest to note that in 1991/92, the season before the Premier League, two sides were relegated from Division 1 that season - Luton Town and Notts County. Both ended up being relegated from the league. Oxford Utd were a Division 1 club between 1985-88 and went out of the league, too. Carlisle (1974/75) and Grimsby (1948/49) are other examples post WW2 of Division 1 clubs who ended up out of the league.

A coach I organised in 1976 to Oldham promising a visit to Blackpool afterwards ended up after a rodeo event in its Supporters Club with a veto on the night out and a police escort by varying police forces back to the Welsh border.

To think that they were one last minute Mark Hughes volley away from a Wembley Cup Final though. Sad for them.

Yes very sad, I hope they bounce back soon

Little old Cardiff.

Little old Cardiff.

not really

we have had some decent times recently, a owner that is putting up the money to keep us going, its not been all that bad, even you might have noticed that eh

And there’s the “plucky little Cardiff” attitude down to a tee, grateful that a billionaire owner is doing nothing better than keeping us going in this league full of modern day giants in the game. Was that really the height of our ambitions a dozen years ago when Vincent Tan took over?

Re: Oldham v Salford result confirmed

Maybe be about time to incorporate the National League into the FL as League 3. 10 out of the top 13 are ex-EFL clubs. Only Bromley, Boreham Wood & Solihull buck the trend. It gets harder & harder to make the jump.

And theres the ‘I know better’ know-all attitude that you continually spout. Totally ungrateful that a multi millionaire (note, not billionaire - $750m dollars net worth in 2020 and probably quite a bit less since) owner has pumped probably well over £250m into our club to keep it going and got us to the Premier League twice in the last 10 years. If he is making such a bad job of it why don't you put your money where your mouth is and get a few of your ‘friends’ on here together and buy it off him ? No …… didn't think so, much easier to continually criticise and denigrate his efforts from a distance.
