It's because the BBC follow the Twitter feed religiously. Ours currently is a bit ambiguous about who's scored what and when. It really needs someone with fast fingers sat on a keyboard live tweeting the game, or better still, live blogging it. From personal experience, trying to multitask whilst doing the match day twitter is a stressful experience.

Oldham Community Radio should be covering the game. https://www.oldhamcommunityradio.com/listen-online/ There are a bunch of listening options on that link.

Online programme/match notes/update whatever you want to call it is here: https://roughyeds.co.uk/match-programmes/2023/02-oldham-v-rochdale-hornets/

You basically have to fill it in and hand it to John McAndrew or anyone at the club. It's all a bit analogue but that's how it is for now. I wanted to set up a subscription on the club site or shop but there was some legislation that prevented that. However that may have disappeared now and I see a few clubs offering such a service. Once the dust has settled after Friday I'll look into that.

OK I found a version that came from somewhere late last year. I've edited it to bring it up to date. It's here now. https://roughyeds.co.uk/club-cash

Scanner Update I fixed my scanner. Form Update You may wish I hadn't fixed my scanner. I'll make a pretty one after the Hornets game when I've hopefully got some free time.

I've got another one to go on the site that was handed to me on Sunday. Hold fire until I get it there — I'm having to fix my scanner of all things. And yeah, I know.

Good old Danny Restall.

The Wikipedia page just has incorrect stats. Nathan Mason has played 43 times for Oldham. 41 official games and two friendlies.

Those stats look like they're from Wikipedia and are incorrect.

Believe it or not, 41 times.

I picked up on that too. I'm not sure whether it was just a slip of the tongue and he was simply meaning all five directors or that he was implying there is now a sixth. I suppose we'll find out soon enough

I cadged a lift on the team coach today. CH was on board for what was his last time in sort-of-charge. On the way home the players conducted their usual sing-song but much of it was directed towards CH. At one point, they were serenading him by singing along to mushy songs, whilst lighting the torches of their phones. A bit mad I know, but here it is...

There's Ellery Hanley. Sick as a pig. Classic one-liner from the video commentator.

That. Exactly that. I was there today and Mike recounted the same story. I'm buzzing tonight. Proper buzzing.

And here they are, the new ownership group with Stuart Littler and Amanda Chadderton

Yeah. I built and manage the Oldham website — a labour of love so to speak. I monitor the websites of most clubs just to see what they're up to. I noticed the Batley website was down a while back and obviously it's still down. Sometimes sites go down for simple reasons but due to a lack of technical know-how they remain offline for way too long. I can make things work again.

I did some of my growing up three doors down from you!

What's the deal with the Batley website then? Is it just broken? I'm the type of guy who fixes broken websites.

So you wouldn't be surprised if the purchase price remained the same. Gotcha.

Head's up. Squad news coming up at 7.00PM tonight.

Don't read anything into that. The post originated from the council, there'll be a more club centric post as a follow up.

Just put this story out... https://roughyeds.co.uk/2023/03/roughyeds-return-to-boundary-park-stadium-in-2024/

No, it's entirely web based. I could look at recreating it as a PDF but if I was doing that I'd do things differently. With web based stuff you have to cater for myriad devices, screen sizes, orientation etc etc. For print or PDF it's one size fits all so you can lay stuff out knowing it's going to look the same for everyone.
