Agreed, and this will still leave 20 clubs in the Championship, split 10:10 on an East/West basis, so 18 games against those in our group with 6 more against 3 teams from t'other group. Our group will have us, Rochdale, Salford, Swinton, Barrow, Workington, Whitehaven, Widnes, Birmingham (formerly Midlands) and Wales Cru. Maybe!

Do any of you guys remember John Strange playing for Fev in about 1990? He's a very well-respected coach now in the Womens game in Australia and his daughter is in the England womens squad for the upcoming World Cup. His son Ethan, plays for Canberra Raiders, NSW & Australia.

Whatever the outcome , us Oldham fans are immensely proud of what the team has achieved this year. Upheavals at ownership level, talk of wages not being paid on time, a bizarre fixture list and the short straw in this crazy play-off system. Despite all that, the team have stuck together, won 20/21 league games to finish the season (including beating Broncos) and then won that incredible match against Widnes on Sunday. A great coaching team now in place (and signed up again for next year) and a cracking group of lads. Come on Oldham!

Oh Ye of Little Faith A moment to be cherished forever at the end there. Real Champagne moments only occur from time to time but over the years, we've had a few. This one will be right up there!

I'm very confident we'll win on Sunday.

Oh f*ck!

This is wrong! My understanding is:- Doncaster and Oldham win - London v Doncaster & Newcastle v Oldham Barrow and Oldham win - London v Barrow & Newcastle v Oldham Doncaster & Widnes win - London v Widnes & Newcastle v Doncaster Barrow & Widnes win - London v Barrow & Newcastle v Widnes. So we go to Newcastle if we win, irrespective of the other result. Now if I'm wrong, I apologise for being a smart ######, because I know no-one loves a smart-######

Kicked a 40-20 against us at BP last month at the height of that Eagles comeback late in the first half. Not to be confused with Robbie Butterworth who played on loan with us in Whitebank days & who plays for Batley now.

Just trying to work out who Bobby was, until I realised you probably meant Bibby Jack Walker just edges it for me.

Liu is still suspended this week.

So every chance we'll be playing Widnes again IF we beat Midlands. What a shambles. We should have played Barrow yesterday (3v6) , a far less difficult game than Widnes, as Doncaster proved by beating them 72-0. Donny's reward for finishing a place below us was getting the weaker team! If we do have to go to Widnes in a fortnight (no disrespect intended to Midlands at all) , what a game that promises to be. We'll be away from home, underdogs, with a point to prove, the pressure will all be on them. Our away support will be out in force. Yes we do have to win on Sunday first & hope Widnes lose at Newcastle.

Big call to leave Tom Forber out. I think he'll go with Tom & Cole on the bench & leave Noah High out. Day to play middle (prop) for part of the game. Strong squad more than capable of beating a leggy Widnes (after their big effort on Monday).

The Oldham players involved themselves in scuffles to show the opposition they weren't going to be bullied or walked all over. Kilshaw is excellent in instilling this bit of "mongrel" into his sides. I definitely wouldn't blame the ref's leniency in our players' actions.
