delboy1 Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Sorry....but.....######. If you recall our conversation last home match, CH is sharing info with certain people but not you or the group. One of them giving it out last week. The content of his tirade was astonishing and eyeopening. I made you aware of this and who it was. After every meeting it's the same old rhetoric. This has been going on for many years and nothing has changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBR Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 No idea what CH is trying to achieve here. If the club is losing money, why doesn't he just sell the club to a fans group for £1 and see how they fare. Whatever historic rifts may exist, the club must try to come to some agreement to play at Boundary Park. They will never afford a stadium of their own, and the Whitebank is not fit for purpose and in totally the wrong place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex-scrumhalf Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 The concrete beams have been under tarpaulins behind the stand for months, the conjecture on the steel was that it was damaged and scrapped, don't know how true that is.Last time I drove down Featherstall Rd the seats were in the storage yard under tarpaulin, that was a couple of weeks ago so they could have been moved since, as for the roof it's anyone's guess where that is. I drove past today and it looked to me as though there are still some there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roughyedspud Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Like ive said many a time..the 'salford stand' at the williows was acutally two ,30m long, stands.."500 seats" would represent one 30m stand.. We just don't know if salford gave use one or both of them.. OLDHAM RLFC the 8TH most successful team in british RL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roughyedspud Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 these seats are green...but looking at that pile of wood chips up against the actually stand CH is lucky half the ground didn't go up in flames...surely thats a breach of health and safety? these are red OLDHAM RLFC the 8TH most successful team in british RL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HARRYRUBY Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 The photograph in the Chron looks like its the start of collecting wood for bonfire night. Looks nothing like seating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Doesn't look like red seating does it, and should all that wood be stored there.......looks like a fire hazard to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roughyedspud Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Is it possible these seats are the old seat that where at whitebank before we moved in??

roughyed8 Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Found this while I was cleaning some drawers out, we have been getting the same spiel for years. Btw drove past the storage yard and the pile of red seats is still there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moorside roughyed Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Yeah me and my son went to the unveiling of this "Grand Plan”.What a joke it's turned out to be.I remember reading that article and feeling some genuine hope(what a plonker). It seems we constantly get the mushroom treatment and its getting a bit boaring now.I honestly feel the end is getting near for the club.Unless someone can tell me otherwise.

clifford Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 I truly fear for my club, I can see it dying in front of my eyes. It's needs to relocate to proper facilities like boundary park or maybe Oldham Council can finally come up with the replacement to sheddings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Jones Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 What a total shame. Huddersfield found Ken Davy and rose from the dead. Oldham found Hamilton and "well" it has never looked like working. If CH does not walk away from what income he still draws from ORLFC and lets other people have the club without any cost implication to have a go at resurrecting it if that is possible the club will be finished in 3 years.

thecrab Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 No comparison between the two Larry. Ken Davy is a multi miliionaire and successful businessman, CH isn't. Agree with your 3 year assessment although i think it won't last that long if change doesn't happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andykenny Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Not just Ken Davy.The Huddersfield Council played a part as well.In Oldham at the same time as Huddersfield had the vision of the stadium and worked a deal to replace Leeds Road and Fartown we were doing nowt. I remember seeing REM at the new stadium around 1996. We could still have done something in the early 2000s when the talk was of replacing boundary park. No one grabbed it by the you know whats and got it done. OAFC had a series of owners who could not get it done one of whom ended in the slammer. Our council seemed more obsessed with art galleries and running the place into the ground, CH it would appear lacked enough clout to get anything done.The the financial crisis came and that was that. The stadium issue mirrors the town as a whole. I was surprised at how many Saddleworth people saw Huddersfield as their historical home town.Nowadays People who move to Saddleworth abandon Oldham and hardly set foot in the place.
