If any Manchester United or Manchester City fans ventured down to Boundary Park in search of a football fix on Saturday, they will have been met with a matchday experience completely alien to Old Trafford or the Etihad.
For a start, the blustery January conditions meant the first thing they will have seen upon taking their seats ahead of Oldham vs Rochdale was the four corner flags at the self-proclaimed 'coldest ground in the country' blowing in four different directions.
As United and City occupy the top four places in English football, Oldham and Rochdale are in the bottom seven of the 92 league sides. If this fixture takes place in League Two next season, both set of fans will be delighted, but the 0-0 draw played out showed plenty is still to be done to ensure that happens.
