Sorry, but I'm not ITK one iota. You're way off the mark with that idea.
EllDale asked about the appeal and I thought my response was reasonably logical by putting two and two together and coming up with one possible explanation, especially as I was also wondering about it myself.
I could be way off the mark, but time will tell. And you're right, Oldham may not be worried about it, but we aren't going to let them know who's playing and who isn't until the teamsheets go in, are we?
I'm not sure what the Chairman's comments at the EGM have to do with this either as I, like yourself I presume, am just a fan, a season ticket holder and a shareholder who has compiled the matchday programme for 23 years, at the same time as having a job completely separate from the club.
Otherwise, as a regular fan myself, I agree with what you say about lack of updates, etc.
The direct free kick was against Woking, who lost the evening game in a kit significantly lighter in colour than ours!
I'm sure we would engage those types of experts from other sports and other disciplines if we had a bit more money, but I'm fairly sure there's been something lately that suggests we don't have.
Anyway, in midwinter, on Saturday games, doesn't it tend to be only the second half when the floodlights are really needed? So to be more accurate, you should have said "when floodlights are needed for the second half of all games."
Still, let's look at the facts, taking all games from 1st November to 31st January as our 'midwinter sample'.
Since the 2004/05 season (so covering 20 seasons), we have played 119 home league games in the period 1st November to 31st January, winning 46, drawing 33 and losing 40. In other words, we have been unbeaten in approximately two out of every three home fixtures across that period.
If we include away games, we have played 247 league fixtures in the aforementioned period, remaining unbeaten in 146 (59%, or approximately three in every five).
Considering those figures include seasons where we had three relegations, but only two promotions, to still be in credit regarding unbeaten/beaten matches is quite significant and shows that a good team is able to perform well, whatever time of season it is and whatever kit they're wearing.
Anyway, I'm sure the club/kit focus group would welcome your input next time they meet to discuss such matters. 442 will probably remind us all about it nearer the time.
