Oldham Athletic honchos go World Cup mental!
All of this, FOR FREE!
Ask a gambling man just why he does it, and he’ll probably slap you in the face because he’s drunk, and then start muttering something about risky business giving you a head-rush that no drug can match.
Hence, there will be some dizzy minds and swimming eyeballs over in the Oldham Athletic boardroom this summer, after promises were made for a 100 per cent refund to season ticket holders, should England come home with the World Cup.
As reported on Yahoo Sport today, Latics’ marketing man, Guy Walker, said this:
“This is a great way for our fans to back England to win the World Cup for the first time in 44 years.”
So, come the summer, if England triumph, and you’re looking for a real-life interpretation of a man putting his money where his mouth is, perhaps pay sunny Oldham a nice visit.
You’ll be able to locate it by the howling noises, that sound a bit like a marketing exec repeatedly pistol whipping himself with a loaded gun.
Come on England!

I don’t know why…but I like that story. He doesn’t sound like he has given it a second thought either. I know the odds, but still think it is cool.
