I’m sure it will be busier than normal but doubt it will be breaking any records. Friendlies are just training matches and not competitive. I watched them when I was a young but don’t bother anymore.

I'm heading over, not sure if my son is coming yet, all depends if he is working or not, so if you're wanting a lift let me know.
Hi Macca cheers for the offer I appreciate it but I'm going to turn it down as the boys want to go by train.

They can get back to their mums in Yorkshire from Mills Hill train station afterwards if they choose to go straight back.

Thanks though.

There's car parking available for £5 behind the Joe Royle stand (that stand isn't being used)

Never been to the ground though so I don't know how easy to get in/out is.

Yeah its a belter. I've gone over there from Burnley on several occasions, so to not go after the game would be rude!

In the past I always used to park on the verges of the dual carriage ways that surround the ground, never got a ticket though it must be over 20 years since I was last down boundary

@ Leisure, are you doing any transport for the Oldham match mate? wouldn't mind making a day of it with a few beers rather than driving. If not what are everyone planning for getting their driving or is there a train route etc? Pubs to meet up in etc.

For anyone wanting pre match beers, the 1pm kick off is a bit of a problem.

There is a beefeater style pub right behind the away end called "the Clayton green", but as highlighted above, you would probably have maximum an hour in there before kick off.

For those wanting an earlier Beer, in Royton there are a few bars in the precinct which open and serve 10ish onwards. From here it is a short walk to the ground (less than a mile).

In Shaw, there is a wetherspoons and this is about a two mile walk to the ground or a taxi.

For those coming from mills hill train station, it's a nice walk from there to the ground, about a mile and a half,
where you will pass about three pubs. So either on route or on the way back to the station you have a few pit stops.

Hope this helps.

If you wish to go by train I think the 10.38 from Manchester Rd to Mills Hill will be the popular one.
Off peak return is £10.40

9.54 is when I will arrive in Mills Hill, think any pubs open along that way or best to get a taxi up to Royton?

Best bit is either a taxi from mills hill up to Shaw to wetherspoons (about 3 miles) or into Royton to the centre to a bar called "rumours" which i am pretty sure serves from 10am.

From royton, less than a mile walk to the ground.

We are getting train to Rochdale then tram to Oldham. There’s a Wetherspoons in the town centre and three others that are open from 10am.

Will get an Uber to the ground at about 12.15pm

Rather than getting an Uber download a local taxi firm app GMX and it’s about 2/3 quid cheaper than an Uber

as mentioned by someone else in the thread, there is a huge car park near the away end, has to be the closest place but would still require a walk - maybe drop the mrs off and go park there

Similiar for me.. Best part of a grand to bring 'er indoors to a game after flights /car hire/meals/overnights etc. Gotta keep a lid on it.

The day has arrived and I'm a little bit excited if thats the correct word.
Not seen any live sport for 16 months, and I know it's only a friendly but I'm getting the old match day feeling back, hopefully the break means I've got the bug back more than ever as it was beginning to wane a bit.

Taking my lad too, and hes had 2 seasons off pre covid, so hopefully he gets the bug back too and starts nagging me to go on more.

Hopefully all that go have a great day, and create a good atmosphere that lifts everyones spirits for the coming season.

Football is back,
Burnley are back!

I'd say zero, it's nearly 4k that away end, and theres a closed stand to our right too, which I'm sure if need be a we could hop into, but I doubt that would be needed.

There only used to be 3.5 - 4k on the Accy friendlies in total, and they were literally down the road.

Isn't the closed stand the one to the left of the Chaddy end?

I thought the new stand was to the right if the away end?

Someone mentioned the new stand as the one that was closed due to a dispute over payment or something.

I'm not 100% which stand is closed, but the one to the left was the old main stand wasnt it with the ticket offices, dug outs etc in?
Cant imagine that being closed, but who knows

It is the new stand that’s closed but the away end is now the Chadderton end, opposite to where we were on previous visits.

Doubt it was hard getting away from anywhere but this was a great spot cheers. Roighly 30 seconds down a one way street to motorway roundabout.

Not that I envisage us playing them again soon but would park here
