Anybody know for sure if we have to sit in designated seats tomorrow?

As it is pay on the day, I doubt it.

The away end (old home end) is massive so you should be able to sit where you like.

From the football grounds guide:

Away fans are housed in the ZenOffice Stand (Chaddy Road End) at one end of the ground. This stand has a capacity of around 3,750 fans. This is the opposite end to where the away fans have been housed for many years and has caused some upset with some Oldham supporters, as this was always seen as the traditional 'Home' end. Although covered, the ZenOffice Stand does have a number of supporting pillars running across the front of it, which could impede your view of the action. If you get chance, make sure to try one of the pies; Cottage, Steak & Pepper, plus Cheese & Potato (all £3). Some fans reckon that this is the best part of a visit to Boundary Park! Make sure you wrap up well though as the location of Boundary Park on the edge of the Pennines, means that it always seems to be cold, with a biting wind that goes right through you. Generally a friendly day out.

Chris a visiting Plymouth Argyle fan adds; 'Boundary Park is easy to find from the tram which takes about 20 minutes to walk. The Oldham staff are friendly and we experienced no issues even with a fairly large away following for our division. The away end catering is all outside so wrap up well with the bar being a couple of fold up tables and a barrel of lager which is poured direct. One lager only. But again the service is cheerful. There are some supporting pillars at the away end that impede the view and don't sit too far back or the roof stops you seeing the far end of the pitch. A good day out with a friendly club but a ground that's seen better days'.

Weather forecast for today is 22C, so not too cold.

Whatever the temperature is outside Boundary Park, take 30C off it for inside.
