Taylor's Trainspotting

It was such a relief for the Ginger Wizzard that the trip to Exeter was switched to Friday, Taylor (pictured right) was able to take the Saturday afternoon off and focus on his main objective of the weekend - Catching a glimpse of the 11:37 service to Yeovil, he loves trains and playing for Latics is just a stop gap before he discoveres his true calling in life.

Glory Hunters - a rant

Ok so we hear about them all the time, but yesterday due to us not having a game to play I decided to go into Manchester for a few drinks. When I got off the train at Piccadilly just after 4pm the station was awash with people of all different accents and identities all with one thing in common - the red of Man Utd. Now I'm not one of these Oldham fans who is that bitter about Utd, I'm not one of these who would go out and buy a Real Madrid shirt if they were playing them in the Champions League, I'm not one of those people who make a mockery of the Munich Air Disaster nor am I one of those people who refer to them as "the Scum".

But yesterday brought to my attention something I do despise about them, when I was walking past a map of the city centre I saw these two lads with Midlands accents looking at a map of Manchester wondering where the hell to go. Now I'm aware that we live in a free country and we're allowed to do what we want, but it really pisses me off how people would rather watch a team 200 miles away than watch their own club, in England we are blessed with many professional teams but I think the way in which it is deemed acceptable to watch a team on TV these days and the fact that everyone seems to be investing in the same place is really killing the English game.

What I saw yesterday were people who to me will never know the true meaning glory, supporting Latics is hard, we've won nothing in 20 years and it doesn't look like any glory is going to come anytime soon, but I'll tell you one thing if that day comes when Latics win something, it will mean a hell of a lot more to me than it would to any plastic fan when their team wins the Champions League, Premiership, FA Cup etc. This brings me onto another topic - why do people support football clubs? To me I was always told to follow either your local team, your Dads team or the first team playing at the first game you went to to me those reasons for supporting a team are due to the fact that the club becomes a part of the person. How can these people I saw yesterday going back to Cardiff, Nottingham, London etc feel the same sort of passion to support their club than I do to support mine? If only people could see things this way then maybe the English game would be a much more even playing field making the game more competitive and enabling the smaller clubs more investment to bring players through rather than a large proportion of the population pumping their cash into the same clubs ensuring the rich becoming richer and the poor becoming poorer, unfortunately this article will probably go unnoticed and we will see in the next 6 months at least one Football club going out of Business.

Why you should go to Nottingham on Saturday

Ok that kid asleep on TV whilst watching Monday Nights game probably sums up how dull things are at the minute but an away trip to Nottingham is usually an enjoyable one so here are 10 reasons why you should go on Saturday:

1. We usually win in the City (although I hope this doesn't put the kiss of death on it)
2. Nottingham has a women to men ratio of 3 to 1
3. Nottingham has more ‘international cuisine’ restaurants than any city outside London
4. The only Hooters in the UK is in Nottingham
5. If Robin Hood was real he'd be dead
6. They say it's gun capital of the UK but then again they say that about Manchester
7. Nottingham has the biggest Market Square in the UK
8. 20% of the population of Nottingham are in their 20s
9. Nottingham claims to be the UK's most haunted city
10. Notts County won the award for the best pies out of the 92 Football League clubs not too long ago

Sad news

The Boundary Boos have some rather grim news to announce regarding the work of the people of google, the initials of the Football Club OAFC no longer leads with a direct link to the OAFC official site but instead lead with the page "Ontario Association of Fire Chiefs", this news has led to many loud booing across the world as most other Football Club initials lead with a link to the clubs official page (with exception to Rochdale), the Boundary Boos proposes a 1 minute Boo to be conducted at some point during the Tranmere match on Monday night in front of the Sky TV cameras!!!

A New campaign the 2011 Census

It is believed the majority of self-reported Jedi claimed the religion for their own amusement, to poke fun at the government, or as a protest against the inclusion of the religion question on the census form.

In June 2005, Jamie Reed, newly-elected Labour Member of Parliament for Copeland in Cumbria, declared himself to be the first Jedi Member of Parliament during his maiden speech. The statement, made in the context of an ongoing debate regarding the Incitement to Religious Hatred Bill, was confirmed by Reed's office to be a joke instead of a serious statement of faith. Nevertheless, during a subsequent Committee debate on the Bill, the Conservative Member of Parliament for Beaconsfield, Dominic Grieve, sought to exclude Jedi Knights explicitly from the protection of the proposed Act.

On November 16, 2006, two Jedi delivered a protest letter to UN officials in recognition of the International Day for Tolerance. They requested that it be renamed the "UN Interstellar Day of Tolerance" and cited the 2001 Census showing 390,000 Jedi in England and Wales.

Officially you need 5 people to start a religion, weather or not it would be a recognised religion it would surely be a laugh if people were to do it and who knows maybe the club would gain more respect from certain people.

All in all it is a view felt by the Boundary Boos that there is no proof that God exists but there is proof that our Lord Joe Royle led the club to the greatest moments in the clubs history.
