[Football] Oldham Athletic on the brink?

[Peacehaven Wild Kids]

I have never seen mushy peas in a Sussex Fish & Chip shop in my life

where was this?

Telscombe Chippy does them

That’s not a Northern thing though. I’ve always had mushy peas with fish and chips even when I was a suverner. Chips and gravy at Hartlepool is a whole different ball game.

Or chip spice in Hull.

Both of the places in town in Seaford, Trawler's and Osborne's do them.

Which Oldhamesque ground did I go 30+ years ago.

All I remember is the back of an incongruous white building (supermarket? ) hanging over the end off to our right.


Any help?

Langdon Seagull is spot on. Definitely Bolton's old ground, Burnden Park. Saw us lose in the cup there about 30 years ago. 2-1. Remember nothing about the game at all!

You remember more than I do!

They sell mushy peas at our local fish & chip shop. I don’t like them, but my other half does.

They sell mushy peas at ours too - but it probably counts as “ northern” cos it’s 2 miles north of the coast

And the most disgusting pie I have ever eaten. Meat and potato. Gristle and watery mash served in a small cardboard box more like.

Are you sure you didn't mean to post this on the Restaurants thread?

Plenty of them about in my neck of the woods.

Having read the thread I don't sense a massive amount of sympathy for their fans.

On a par with comments after the sinking of the Titanic in Ye Eveninge Arguss of the time:

"Did you know that more than 90% of an iceberg is actually below the water line?
The north Atlantic has lost a considerable amount of its fish species in the last 100 years.
I prefer to take my vacations somewhere closer to the equator; Egypt perhaps."

Etc. Etc.

So Farewell, then, Pine Villa
As you were once known.
For a time, flying high in the EPL
Althought it wasn't called the EPL back then.
It was the premiership.
Perhaps that's where you're destined next.

On the contrary. I have a huge amount of sympathy for Oldham and their fans. This ownership situation has been bubbling under for a while. This is a decent summary from last December:

At first glance it does not look like our situation with Archer although ownership by an agent, very high player turnover, transfer embargoes and ground ownership by a previous chairman clearly indicate there is something fundamentally wrong.

I was asked if I wanted mushy peas with my fish & chips

First time I ever had mushy peas was at Derby in the League Cup….they also came with fish and chips. Been a fan of the mix ever since

I used to think of Oldham as a team we expected to lose to, sad times to be in their position as we all know. But we came back from the brink.

I don’t think I’ve ever been to a chippy in Sussex that didn’t sell mushy peas.

Mushy peas are on pretty much every F&C shop menu, aren't they? My mum would always get them when I was a kid.

 

[Happy Exile]

Never been to Oldham, but South Street chippy in Lewes does mushy peas (or at least did a few years ago when I last went there).

At least one in Horsham, on the Bishopric
