Of Mike's 3 sons Joe recently moved in coaching with Leeds RU I think and Jacob is a rugby union head coach I think he's in his early twenties. Obviously George is sale sharks marquee signing

The king is dead........Long live the new 5 kings

For me if Chris calls time on his ownership I would like to say thank you to him. Cos clearly whether you like Chris or not his passion for the club could not be faulted. I think the time is right for new ownership but I've said that since 2015. I have told Chris 2024 new dawn..................hopefully

No one is grumbling. Its great news thar the club is moving forward after years of nomadic existence. I think Mr H has burnt many bridges with many fans and it needs work to build trust again not with words burnt actions

Change needs to occur, fans need to feel valued as opposed to a cash cow. In my opinion change starts at the top.

How long is the tenancy? How much is the rent? What attendance figures do we need to break even? How much influence do the oldham athletic board have over the rugby club. Does the football club have a clause to get rid of the rugby club if the rugby club default on rent payments. A part from no substance it's a good move. I got to feel sorry for AVRO

I was just thinking that

Now we know how promotion will be obtained in years to come. What grade do you think we'll get at the end of the season. Looking at the criteria I m not holding out for an A B or C

There is a lot wrong with rugby league at the moment, dual reg for one, not knowing what 2024 will bring and this also effects not knowing if we are playing for promotion or is promotion based on grading if thats the case on field performance will count for a small element. That all said a win is a win.

Cheers for the update dave

Oldham have an online version which is embedded in the website https://roughyeds.co.uk/match-updates/2023/01-oldham-v-london-skolars/ I hope that works

Excellent read far better than 2022. Is there a download version or a print at home version?

Cheers dave

Is the club producing a programme, pdf thing or nothing this year

Have salford produced anything

Sorry jimmy

I appreciate your sentiment but isn't it down to years of under investment, under achievement and being drip fed poor performance after poor performance. As much as I love the club, I see the lack of ambition. In the 21st century what have we achieved? 1. A season when we lost every league game. 2. More seasons in the bottom semi pro league 3. A league 1 championship 4. Fordy nearly got us to superleague. 5. Losing to lock lane. For me it just showed me how far we had fallen. Yes I might sound all doom and gloom but I might as well watch either Saddleworth or annes for the same Standard of rugby and a lot cheaper.

Challenge cup - pre season friendly - no never. Has the ambition gone? Maybe it's nearly 30 years since the last semi final appearance at Huddersfield but come on get some fire in the belly. At the present time we are far removed from where we were 25 years ago. It's been a steady decline. Comments like pre season friendly for the Challenge Cup just cements how far we have fallen.

I noticed yesterday that he turned out for head as he left

Did anyone go today? Was it worth playing wigans kids? Personally this game should have been behind closed doors and a training match.

The rugby league fixture we play a Wigan academy side at Ince rose bridge on 12.02.23. Gone are the days we battered wigan at Central Park we now get the kids

I think we need at least one more forward and now a scrum half

Not heard anything from Oldham but I do hope they do something better than 2022 but I'm not holding much hope

To be fair oldham v hornets is always spicy especially when there is alot of cross over between the clubs. Not to put a dampener on it but it's only a pre season game on a level with widnes and in my opinion the entry price should be the same for both games. I know it won't be a popular statement but it's not going determine anything in respect of promotion

So who's turning up on Sunday in limeside. I for one am not, I away with the Mrs.
