Going off on a bit of a tangent but I am sure there are still a few blues out there who might remember Alan Groves. A very tidy and talented midfielder who played for both clubs. Alan tragically died of heart failure at the age of 29.

Alan Groves played in the same team as Billy Dearden, Andy Provan, Mike Sutton etc. Around 1970/71/72. Good team in those days. Just missed promotion by one point to York, who we drew with at home 1-1 on Easter Monday.

Oldham fan here. I've been to the Deva in a pre-season game with Oldham, and I have also seen you play at both Ashton clubs. Chester is not a name I would associate with the sixth tier and I always found it unbelievable (alongside York and Stockport) that you would visit my Ashton-under-Lyne for a league match.
If we were away for this match I would have you guys as nailed on favourites to win but our home form is somewhat respectable so it might be a closer match. I can't imagine we will get the 6-7k home fans we have been getting in the league, probably closer to 3.5k. However, with 1-2k Chester fans it should still be a good pay day for both clubs!

Really looking forward to our visit to Boundary park, It’s been a long time since we played you, Biggest game for us for a few years, My only hope is it’s a friendly Atmosphere as no animosity Exists between us, We are in the main a friendlier bunch than those Wrexham scum, So let’s all have a great day & May the Best team on the day get the result. All enjoy the game! Seals

I think the issue was that I originally just went to Oldham's website; you can only buy home tickets via this route. As Superhans has said above, there is a dedicated link for away fans.

Have we only been allocated half that lower tier?

Post by Frank Owen’s Paintbrush on Oct 7, 2022 9:53:47 GMT
2/3 of the lower tier, probably around 1,500 I’d guess.
Think that’s fair given our usual away support for these sorts of games (think Stockport under Burr), but the game isn’t all ticket anyway is it? So sure the third section of the lower tier will be available should we need it on the day.

It’s great to see that we should have a tremendous away following next week, but the one thing I’d really hope for as a result of that is that it leads to an increase in the crowds we get every week - even if it’s only by a small number. Unfortunately this hasn’t usually been the case in similar circumstances in the past, and I remember the week after we’d taken bumper followings to Middlesbrough and Blackburn in the FA Cup turning up at the Deva to find less than 2,000 fans in attendance.
I wouldn’t expect everyone who crawls out of the woodwork for our more attractive fixtures to suddenly start watching the club every week, but I’d like to think it can rekindle the interest for some and get them back in the habit.

It's not working for me, I've registered, but it's blank under the top banner, nothing there between the top part of the menu and the commercials at the bottom of the page.

Oh well it isn’t actually all-ticket is it? Can just rock up on the day yeah?
We aren’t selling out a 3,750 capacity stand so I wouldn’t worry about it.

Go to Settings and enable cookies. This should work. If not you can buy over the phone from Oldham, or pay on the day. Modern technology only works for young people 🤣

Modern technology only works for young people 🤣 Make sure you zoom right out if you’re on your phone. I thought the page was blank at first but just need to zoom out to see all the fields. It’s a bit fiddly because you need to click on a specific seat too.
