I am certainly one of the older fans who would embrace an animal or such attached to the club. As Oldham Valderama suggests, the marketing and merchandise would be easier and, if chosen right, could well get the much younger fans involved. I suggested Phoenix (rising from the ashes) in the very early days of Oldham RLFC 1997 and was told by Roger Halstead that the club were looking at being a totally new club rather then being part of the old. If we do go down this path then it has got to sound right and/or resonate with the younger fans and, on that note, I would go for something like Oldham Orca's (O & O) or Oldham Raptor's (Short for Velociraptor which is dinosaurish and would hit with the younger ones). I am sure there are much smarter marketing people out there who would know what would work, but I would happily keep with the Roughyed as it's all about the Team and how they play currently that's important at the moment.

Watched this lad play for Saints' Reserves against Warrington Reserves last weekend and he looked handy. Good feet, good step, strong and good hands. If last week was a good reflection we have a decent back here.

When Bill and Mike say this club is our not there's they really mean it and their actions prove it. Terrific gesture Mr Quinn

Sad to hear, ran a great chippy and a terrific pub

Happy Birthday Bill, hope you have a great day

Looks like another great way of getting the media to talk about The Roughyeds and the town of Oldham. Hopefully it generates some TV coverage on the day too.

Anyone know any more about The Roughyeds going for a song and dance record - see the link below. Championship club confirm Guinness World Record attempt plan - Serious About Rugby League Hope the link works as I'm not the most savvy when it comes to computers and the internet

If he's the Cas JM then he would be terrific for the Championship.

Congratulations Dave, thoroughly deserved.

I like it and do hope he's right about the fans walking down Wembley Way

Looks like the final will KO at 17:45 following the main event. So everyone will have left the stadium by then and going out revelling around Wembley. The Women's final around 12:45 so a lot of the crowd will be in to catch the latter parts and cheer them on. Why couldn't they have witched the start times around as I would have thought that there would be more interest from fans in the Sundeck Cup? Or am I wrong? Ah well, it is what it is.

Hey Dave, I think you have done a wonderful job on the website over a number of years and always kept it relevant and up to date. The website was always up to date and that's down to your dedication to the club. I know the club are looking to be at the forefront of media and they will have their own ideas of what that entails but, would involving you in setting up the new website spoilt any vast eternal plan? Hopefully, the club will reach out to you soon and look for your valuable input and not just rely on consultants. Thanks for all you've done over the years.

Good days!!

Hi Wozzeryedhead Following this post I have a feeling I know who you are and, if I'm right, you worked at Park Cake Bakeries at the Borough Mill site.

Thanks Wozzeryedhead, hopefully be able to get there on Sunday.
