Oldham Athletic have banned three fans for three years for "promoting their dislike" of the League Two club.

The fans received a letter from Latics general manager Steven Brown on Monday, telling them they were banned from first team and youth games until 2024.

Good 

Fans should let owners get on with things, they are successful business men after all, and just support the team.

As the great Huddersfield manager of 1957 said:

"At a football club there's a holy trinity - the players, the manager, and the supporters. Directors don't come into it - they are only there to sign the cheques"

This will not end well … so many fan groups and supporters posting about this on social media. 

Full support from me to those who are banned.

Their promotion of dislike for the club is certainly working. I didn't care before, but now I fucking hate them.

Very sad state of affairs - let's hope things turn around.

Simon was very good at questioning him. 

I’d no idea they are so close to dropping out the league 😐

Following the conclusion of negotiations with Abdallah Lemsagam and Simon Blitz, the sale of Oldham Athletic AFC can now be confirmed.

We are also at an advanced stage to purchase Boundary Park stadium, hopefully within the course of the next week. 

Headed by our new chairman, Frank Rothwell, the Oldham-based owner and founder of Manchester Cabins which has long-standing local ties, the deal will ensure that the club and stadium will be consolidated under one ownership.

What was most upsetting about that letter was without protest when we left the Valley, we might not have a club now. If any club understands that, it should be ours.
