Glad to see the board coming together, new member is Jim Minton, the new Chief Finance Officer, Mike Ford is Managing Director, Gary Kershaw, Business & Commercial, Simon Winnard PR and Media. Hayden Walker is the RFL man and looking at IMG.
Sounds good and feels very professional and what we have needed for years-

Maybe time for Gary to use his contacts at Huddersfield?

He would be a real help.

At present the club is 100% owned by Mick Harrington with Fordy as a director. It will be interesting to see how this develops.
What is the name of the club now? Is it still as was?

Great interviews on both BBC and Granada with Mike Ford last night. Came across really well.
But in both interviews he said “ the other five directors “. I know they alluded to a possible addition to the board but sounds like it is now a board of 6.
Any ideas who it is?

How do you think, by whining about other people using their precious pitch and sneering at ORLFC. Just because they had a very few successful years once they still think they are a 'big club'.
From what I have seen on their forums and talking to those fans I know, I would say they are generally supportive. They realise the days of “us and them” have gone and the new owners want to bring together all sports in the town.

was the new owners in attendance yesterday ? I didn’t seem to see them.
Reading Dave Naylors post it looks like they gave CH the opportunity to say bye to the players

Maybe Mr Hamilton may apply now!

A good win, 18-4, with Crusaders only scoring a consolation on the final minute. Dewsbury thrashed hornets as well, which was a surprise

Is the ground now council owned?
Are the Football and rugby clubs true equal partners?
The ground and stadium is now completely owned by the the Rothwell Family who own the football club. They are lifelong latics fans.
The rugby club have a long rem agreement to play at the ground.
the council got their part have invested in a state of the art £1m pitch

That. Exactly that. I was there today and Mike recounted the same story.
I'm buzzing tonight. Proper buzzing.
It was a privilege to be there this morning Dave. Buzzing as well!

When he was a lad and Wigan offered him terms he contacted Oldham to see if they were interested , but for some reason they weren't.
He told this story at the press conference this morning. What he was saying is he wants every local lad to want to play for Oldham rather than other clubs. He wants them to be desperate to sign and play for us because we are ( or will be) one of the top clubs

Okay so assuming a new owner, after Sunday we have a two week break before our biggest home match of the season. As there is a fixture clash with both us and latics are at home with a 3pm kickoff, would you change to Monday and change to BP as a one off, to have real marketing push?

There was a rumour on the OASF forum

I hope you are right. Only a LONG term agreement will save the Yeds.
Surely we now need to build and develop the club, rather than be “saved”. I am sure that a robust business plan must have been developed for the council to buy into this

Interesting in the report, the statement came from a “club spokesperson ”, not Chris Hamilton which is the norm?

Evening all, Oldham have announced today that all concessions (65 and over) will be £10 going forward.
Looking forward to seeing you all Friday
