It says they’re preparing their bid, if that’s the case they won’t be in a position to share a business plan yet.

Jokes aside, I hope this is true and that it’s a serious bid.

Imagine if English rugby league did that, we’d have two teams, Leeds and Wigan.

It looked superb on tv, not one for the seat counters.

The season is looking wide open now, very entertaining.

If I’m proven wrong I’ll be as delighted as anyone

Where did you hear that? If it’s true then shame on SL, all clubs should receive equitable funding.

Of course Hull KR were bigger than Oldham when they ‘started their journey’ , and so were Leigh. Neither of them were ever playing out of town at a non league football ground in front of 300 people. I would absolutely love it if Oldham, or any club, did what those two teams have done but they’re not starting from the same position or anywhere near it.

It also doesn’t make sense to compare an NFL team who have 80k sell outs every week to an English rugby league team.

Thats 32 years ago, Oldham have lost a generation of fans, like Mike Ford said no kids in Oldham even knew they had a rugby league team, I doubt the same could be said of Leigh or Hull.

Heerenveen’s average attendance is (or certainly was not long ago) bigger than the population of Heerenveen also.

No, but neither does Pontefract.

Absolutely good luck to them, but with all due respect to Oldham both Leigh and HKR are bigger clubs than Oldham, who two years ago were playing in front of one man and his dog. The idea that they’d average 7k in super league is absurd.

This can’t be right, I thought all other SL clubs took huge following to all their away games?
