Yes that's the one , remember the 1974 fa cup game there when thousands of burnley fans ran across the pitch into the home end ,I think we won 1-4
I was on the open end that day but didn't they give us tickets in both ends or were the Burnley fans just charging across the pitch.

I was in the covered end. But yes, we had fans behind both goals.

Just been looking at getting the train to Oldham and looks a right ballache.
Train to Manny then a tram to Oldham and then a bus or 20 minute walk.
Im thinking of heading over in the car, and will only have 1 child with me, so you're more than welcome of jumping in, it's only down the road.

Cheers Macca it's a great offer.
I don't know for definite who will be going yet. I'm taking at least one son if we're allowed.
It won't be until nearer the time I could give you an answer.

Absolutely no problem at all, I've a car and a 9 seater mini bus so if both of mine come ( highly unlikely ) theyll still be plenty of room for you and your boy(s) unless you have 5 sons
Just drop me a message nearer time.

There is another way. Train from Burnley to Mills Hill (not the Blackburn one) which is on the outskirts of Oldham. It takes about 35 mins. Its about 2 miles from the station, so walk or a quick taxi to the ground. Saves all that messing about.

I would have thought the groups going drinking would head to Manchester and then share a taxi from there.
Or does Oldham have decent pubs?

That probably would have been our path but with it being a 1pm kick off we decided to get there ASAP.
Looking at google maps the answer to ‘decent pubs’ isn’t a positive one but there is a Wetherspoons and a couple of others that open from 10am.

Nothing to do with Burnley. As of close of business we’d had no information from Oldham.
Which games have they announced ticket news for? As far as I can see they have three home games. One, against Wigan, had to be played behind closed doors and as far as I can see there is no ticket info for the other against Crewe.

With the government's opening up debacle I can see a lot more games being postponed late on and players getting isolated for being in close contact with positive cases. It could well be a messy season and one where we will need to have a deep squad for these eventualities.
Just look at the cricket recently.

Those in close contact won't need to isolate after mid August....... If not sooner

just rang Forest ticket office to enquire what our allocation would be...he didn't know but asked others and he confirmed
he didn't know away allocation but we were definitely allocated 'a corner' of the ground - I was told to contact Burnley ticket office for details + capacity.
so that sounds promising!
they're selling adult tickets at £10 for season-ticket holders and £12 for non-season ticket holders

On the Forest seating plan home fans haven't got access to seats in the normal away section, so it all sounds a bit confusing!

Yes surely that must put Burnley's visit to Bloomfield Road on Saturday in severe doubt at the very least, isn't it normally 10 days isolation for any positive cases and close contacts, if so I doubt they'll be able to field much of a side, I suppose they might be able to draft in some of their youth players at short notice if they really want to fulfil the fixture, but given it's not a competitive game it could well simply fall by the wayside.

Our game at Blackpool is on Tuesday 27th
And the isolation is from when you were in contact, not from when you were notified, so if you were in contact last Wednesday and only notified today, you would only need to isolate for next 5 days

Ah! right so the chances are it'll still go ahead, it wouldn't be ideal for our preparations to be disrupted, but I guess this is part & parcel of the game these days, and we'll just have to adapt as best we can like every other team.
