Haha brilliant

That’s brilliant.

I love BTTF. It’s a very clever film on so many levels.

One of my favourite scenes is when Marty first meets Doc Brown back in 1955.

"Who’s the president in 1985?"
"Ronald Reagan."
"Ronald Reagan, the actor? Who’s vice president, Jerry Lewis?"

Thats quality. Hope he peeled them off his Ford Granada before he moved there

Did it? I remember it as always being a bleak freezing cold shithole

25-30 years ago was a top night out with loads of bars and clubs. Then the rot set in about 10-15 yrs ago. Seemed to be overrun with Violence all of a sudden and never recovered.

Bet theres still a few windows with the 261 stickers in

There is a house near me still has one in a bedroom window.
Old couple live there, and it was their now grown up and long left home daughter's.

Yep. In the 80’s coach trips used to come to Oldham from all over the North West on a weekend. Used to be a great night out

very rarely go up there now and if I do it’s for a couple of hours on a Sunday afternoon. Would rather stay local or get the train into town

Thanks for the date.
Was always cold wet and windy there too.

From memory was warm and sunny

Ah yes, I remember it well!

I used to split my weekends going between Oldham & Manchester in the late 80's. A good pub crawl followed by extended drinking at a club/curry house. Was quite shocked by how much of a downturn the town centre took. Picked my Mrs up a few times mid/late 90's and Yorkshire St on a Saturday night was like a warzone.

Hello, Oldham fan here asking for help, as you will know we are suffering from rogue ownership and as fans we are trying to raise enough money to make Boundary Park fan owned. This would be the first step in securing football at BP for years to come, we would then hope our Dubia based owner would see the light and sell up. I have a funding page and the MENnews run an article on us a couple of weeks ago. Any help no matter how small may help us in our fight. I know there is banter past and present between our fans and others in the manchester area but I am pleading with fans in our area to help this once great little club. Anything appreciated

Help raise £1000000 to I am hoping to help raise as much money as possible to save my football club Oldham Athletic. Money raised to go to OASF fans trust. Thanks.

Every sympathy with the plight they are in but I don't think I'll be giving my hard earned over to buy Ice Station Zebra. Good luck with it though
