Boundary Park
What Is It Like For Visiting Supporters?
Away fans are housed in the Rochdale Road Stand at one end of the ground, where the normal allocation is 1,800 seats. This can be increased to over 4,000 if required. Dependant on numbers the Rochdale Road End is either given totally to the away support or is shared with home fans. If the latter applies, away fans are kept separate from the home fans by a large moat like gap, which certainly makes for a lot of banter. The facilities in this newish stand are fairly good, as are the acoustics. If you get chance, make sure to try a Pukka pie (£1.50). Some fans reckon that this is the best part of a visit to Boundary Park.
This club I found to be particularly friendly. They have an unofficial motto that 'the only club we hate is Man United', everyone else is very welcome. The only complaint that I had about visiting the ground was that it always seems to be cold, with a biting wind that goes right through you. This is due to Oldham being on the edge of the Pennines.

Oldham have never won a major trophy, but they did reach the League Cup final in 1990 (losing 1-0 to Nottingham Forest), finished league runners-up in 1915, and were F.A Cup semi-finalists in 1913 (losing to Aston Villa), 1990 and 1994 (losing both times to eventual winners Manchester United). Their most recent spell in the top flight lasted from 1991 until 1994, and on the final day of the inaugural Premiership season (1992-93) they avoided relegation on goal difference after a remarkable 4-3 win over Southampton.

Let's hope we don't need Mayo - DK has probably given his a contract that says he gets another year if he plays in one game this season

Hawsey said Whing at left-back, but that's a good shout. I'd rather have a specialist left-back on the pitch though.

In the words of Kevin Keegan ' I would absolutely love it' if Hart and Mayo came on and made a scintilating impact

I do believe Whing played Left Back for Coventry, so giving Fogden RB is probably the better option as he's probably more comfortable there.
