anyone know any decent pubs in oldham area?[/quote
Depends where you are in Oldham? The Colliers in Chadderton gets a lot of Blues in, as does the Sportsman on Broadway. Further down into Failsworth the Wheatsheaf on Oldham Road will be mainly Blue but you need a free ticket. Also in Failsworth you have got the Willow Tavern which will be absolutely packed with 99% Blues, actually seeing the match might be an issue in there. I would try the Colliers, good pub lots of Blues, and usually friendly banter with the rags. Its on Old Lane off Manchester Road.
If you want to watch the match in the Royton area with fellow Blues, try Heyside Cricket Club, Its the home of the recently formed High Crompton & Royton Supporters Club.
