On the Road Again!

Super Oldham... I have been looking forward to this game since the draw. Another away game in the south. Not as nearby as the last round in Maidstone, but in London. Usually when you are drawn against a team 59 places above in the pyramid you think the worst. But on NYD our other team, Arsenal, hammered them 4-1. So we thought there could be an upset. Fulham are 19th out of 20 in the Premier League and as a result they must see that as more important than a cup run. So they played a weakened team. With 8 minutes to go before kick off the Oldham fans, numbering about 3800, were in full voice. The home fans seemed somewhat sluggish arriving in their seats. Although Fulham where the better team they didn't bother Iversen in the Latics goal at all in the first half. Latics had a few half chances and with more composure may have taken one. The second half started pretty much the same but the home side were more clinical and dangerous. A little mix up and Odoi scored. 😨...

Tickets bought. Neill being retired was able to keep trying. It looked as though the initial 2500 had been sold but this might have been simply a Ticketmaster eff up. Anyway. We are sorted.
