Agree with the above posts ....would rather BQ invest his money into grass roots and our own ground ....like a Batley style stadium .... start from scratch on the right side of town ... walking distance for many .... have our own revenues. The JR stand is fine but there is little to no atmosphere....it's a library ..... think I'm dreaming of Sheddings again ... but why not !!

BQ is the best thing that's happened to ORLFC in the past 30 years but therein lies the problem , we've had a generation and more of decline to near rock bottom and getting back will take a lot of time. I hope BQ is patient but after watching his video this week for more people to attend , I'm a bit worried. Nothing wrong with the appeal but we can't just magic another 1500 followers in a couple of seasons for a SL bid given all the current headwinds outlined by PaulB1984 in the post above.

We need more speed in the forwards with quicker play the balls Keep - Moran and Farnworth , both have good speed and get over the gain line Drop - Dudson ... doesn't look ex SL ... not fit ? ... replace with Hirst v Fax .........Dudson-11 tackles. one miss. one tackle break. one try assist. 4 carries=23m

Agree with the improved performance but I don't think the result would have changed. Having watched the Fev game back on youtube you can see Fev were superb last week and played a yard faster than Fax who didn't really threaten. Improvements were players in correct position like Ben Davies, Craven at 6, Pons great debut, Chaps outstanding. We need more speed in the forwards and quicker play the balls so I would swap Dudson for Hirst at prop who needs to get more involved and prefer Moran or Farnworth in the back row. Well played Oldham !

I know we had a lot of injuries yesterday but we are playing 'Scott Naylor' style rugby , five and a kick , no risks , no offloading , no width until tackle five. 'He who dares wins '

Don't know what his current status with Oldham is ? ... but looks like he's been causing a bit of a stir with the Broncos in the NRL ! https://www.foxsports.com.au/nrl/nrl-premiership/the-kids-dont-know-who-i-am-broncos-alleged-social-media-move-about-intense-madge/news-story/48df6fe61e00d54405345c923deb06e5 https://www.instagram.com/p/DJoUbh8N4n1/?img_index=1 unmute the clip ... bottom right of screen

It's been said actions speak louder than words .....

He's a unit ! ..........."I am here to rip in, I am not here to muck around - I will be going hard!"

He was a character and will be missed , gave a lot to the local RL community. RIP

Agree ..... ???

Getting our own stadium would be amazing and a "big announcement" !! .... , but we have a lease at BP and the council invested £1m in a new pitch to accomodate both teams ? .... and I can't see what Little Wembley has to do with ORLFC ? ??????????????

Good game and Oldham played well especially in the second half making fewer mistakes. They've obviously they've had a good pre season which shows the Club is as professional on the pitch as they are off it .... impressive !

Guess we'll never know why he decided to sell the club this year ?

Just to managed a listen to the podcast ........ it's what Oldham fans have been waiting to hear for a 'generation'. Mike's vision and plans for ORLFC and rugby in the town are exactly right. Everything he said resonated with me , it's a must listen !
