IT’S claimed that The Hawthorns is the highest top-level football ground in England, but Oldham must push West Brom’s ground pretty close.

Nestled in the foothills of the Pennines, there’s usually a wind blowing through Boundary Park.

It means life can be difficult for a goalkeeper, but after Bristol Rovers last week, Town’s Matt Glennon, left, reckons he can cope with the worst the weather can offer tomorrow.

“The combination of the wind, the sun and the pitch made it a nightmare for a keeper,” said the 29-year-old, who kept a crucial clean sheet when Town beat Oldham at Boundary Park in the fourth round of the FA Cup back on January 26.

Glennon admitted his blame for Bristol’s opener, when he misjudged Stuart Campbell’s corner, which was headed on by Rickie Lambert for Josh Klein-Davies to finish.

But he made amends with a string of later saves, including one from a close-range Craig Disley header which would have tied the match at three goals apiece.

“It was great to get all three points given the conditions, the long journey down there and the fact that we had played the previous Tuesday,” added Glennon.

“The Brighton match took quite a lot out of us, but we bounced back well and our fitness levels showed.”

The postponement of the home derby with Leeds until Tuesday April 15 means that Town have had a chance to rest, with the other 20 teams in the division all playing on Monday, when Oldham held hosts Doncaster 1-1.

Town dropped a place to 14th, but Glennon pointed out: “The results were reasonably kind to us, and while making the play-offs will be tough, we’ll keep going.

“That means getting another win tomorrow, and after beating Brighton and Bristol Rovers, why not?”
