HomeOfTheTubularBandage Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 CH stated that the RFL have 'confirmed'....CONFIRMED....that Oldham could be promoted. To do that the RFL must have signed off on an approved stadium two months ago. So either he has known where we will be playing for two months OR the RFL hadn't actually confirmed anything.

OutsiderLookingIn Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 maybe the rfl are lending him a million quid to do up whitebank? Maybe hes won the lottery? He could have had things almost in the bag, and things have gone #### up? i wonder if anyone other than CH knows...do the players/coaching staff? the RFL? ORSA? if anyone else knows, they are all bloody good at keeping secrets! wouldnt like to play poker with any of them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Naylor Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 i wonder if anyone other than CH knows...do the players/coaching staff? Down in Oxford the other week when we lifted the first trophy, I was on the pitch after the game with mostly everyone else. Someone shouted to Lewis Palfrey words to the effect "Where are we playing next year then Lewis?". He smiled, and said "Don't you know? I do, but I can't say". I think he was telling the truth.

It sounds as if he is comfortable with it, at least. Does anyone know where LP lives, approximaltely? If he lived Huddersfield area, he would'nt be too happy having to travel all the way over to LSV I think. If he lived Swinton-ish way I'd imagine he'd be relatively happy.

In one chapter of my working life, people would habitually lie to me as a matter of course. I think I became good at telling when the pork pies were flying.

HomeOfTheTubularBandage Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Bottom line is, if it isn't BP then the fans will sacrifice either facilities or location. CH knows it's what the fans want. He's known it for months, yet according to SC CH hasn't spoken to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If any player at Oldham knew where they'd be playing next season. It would have leaked-out within 1hour of them being informed.

Personally though i think we'll end up at hursts cross It's actually only half a mile from the Borough of Oldham. A short walk up Lightbowne road and at the Gardners Arms roundabout near the old Avros BAE factory and you're in Greengate, Chadderton borough of Oldham. CH needs to give the supporters of Oldham RLFC some info soon. I'm not even a'Roughyeds' supporter, ....... and it's doin-my-head-in.

clifford Posted September 26, 2015 Author Share Posted September 26, 2015 He must have told the rfl two months ago where they are playing next year he had to its the rules What about developing Oldham rufc and having a dual stadium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moorside roughyed Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Hi Clifford. The big question for Oldham RFU is-Would they be interested?. I don't think Mr Hamilton is very popular with anyone at the moment. Correct me if I'm wrong. The idea sounds OK but ORFU aren't daft enough to get into something like that with him.

clifford Posted September 26, 2015 Author Share Posted September 26, 2015 Hi moorside, I honestly don't know, seems a good idea if access can be sorted and whether stands can be built in view of the mine shafts In addition they have been bitten by ch before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the reasons "people" have said a stadium can't be built down at Oldham RU is cos of the old coal mines down there... Obviously nonsense OLDHAM RLFC the 8TH most successful team in british RL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Art of Hand and Foot Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 LSV is surely built on old colliery workings. Pennington Flash came about because of mining subsidence and that's virtually next door to the stadium. I think what they mean is it would cost too much to build on old mine works.

MancRL Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 One of the reasons "people" have said a stadium can't be built down at Oldham RU is cos of the old coal mines down there... Obviously nonsense Dual ownership of stadiums with Rugby Union clubs does make sense. Stadiums need to be used 12 months of the year. And hopefully cut the construction and overheads in half.
