    Hello All, Hope you all had a fantastic weekend and it was great to see, in some limited ways, football fans back into stadiums in England last Saturday afternoon. Below were the ‘sell out’ scenes at Carrow Road where Norwich left it late to rescue a point against Preston North End as Canaries fans were able to bask in the late summer sun in East Anglia. They were scenes played out at a few other grounds around the country and we all had our fingers crossed that if we could all behave in the next few weeks we would soon be able to start watching our favourite teams in person. The news that came on Tuesday afternoon when Boris Johnson spoke to the nation really came as a blow to us all and the chances of getting crowds into grounds this season now really looks a long way off. Did Brentford deliberately try and make their new stadium look like a Subbuteo Stadium? If they did, they nailed it as it hardly looks real when you are watching on television! I have to say having been a regular over the past few seasons to Brentford I would really miss my trips to the tight confines of the old ground and it will be interesting to see how the Bess perform in their home. Griffin Park smelt of Bovril whenever I stepped through its gates and I mean that in the very nicest of ways as it had the feel of an incredibly old football ground steeped in history. Yes, clubs need to move forward and progress but I can’t help but feel that Brentford has lost a part of their history.

    BOUNDARY BULLETIN The official matchday programme of Oldham Athletic Football Club Free to Download Oldham Athletic vs. Walsall FC Sky Bet League Two - Matchday 18 Tuesday 15th December 2020 - 7pm KO HEAD COACH - HARRY KEWELL Hello and good evening Latics fans. After a great win at the weekend at home to Bradford City, it’s important that we back that up against Walsall. Hopefully, this match will be the last without fans at Boundary Park so that we can get our 12th man back. Picking up our second league home win of season on Saturday has definitely given the lads a massive boost alongside our impressive away form. The lads deserved it at the weekend after working tirelessly on the training pitch to make sure that we put things right after the Sunderland defeat. It was fantastic to have Zak Dearnley back on Saturday and he was able to get a few important minutes into his legs at the end of the game. He’s a talented player with a great attitude so it’s always good to have people of his character amongst the squad. Overall, there were countless positives from the game at Bradford, for example, I thought Dylan Bahamboula was outstanding and caused them endless problems also defensively we looked solid but it’s frustrating we didn’t come away from a clean sheet. As I keep saying we’re still a fairly new squad, so there will be bumps in the road, however, we’re looking at the big picture and once these lads know each other’s game inside out then we will be flowing.
