Oldham BANS at least three supporters from ALL of their matches for 'promoting dislike' towards owner Abdallah Lemsagam... with furious fans accused of causing 'harm and considerable distress'

A football club has started banning its own fans – for expressing an opinion.

Officials at Oldham have written to three supporters telling them they are forbidden from watching their side because they 'have displayed a desire to promote' their 'dislike of Oldham Athletic, its management and its progression and are influencing others to do the same'.

Currently managerless and second from bottom of League Two, the Premier League founder members are under the deeply unpopular ownership of Dubai-based former agent Abdallah Lemsagam, whose brother Mohamed is the sporting director.
