One thing about Astley is that he's never going to let us down.

We are assembling a good squad and should do very well but there are no guarantees in Rugby League. On paper we were second best when we played at Hull KR in the cup a few years back but on the day teamwork and the will to win shone through.
Having said that i would love to see us go through the season unbeaten.
I would be amazed if we went through the season unbeaten. Teams won't roll over.

Hopefully Alan Kilshaw has
Be nice to sign someone we've heard of
Bit disrespectful to the 2 lads that, Matty Fletcher is a fine forward, works his nackers off , played for us at Oldham before doing very well at Cru.

Totally agree with this, Oldham completely dominated Widnes until Lawton came onto the field what a fantastic signing, how good was we at the start of last season with our attacking brand of rugby can’t wait to see what Sean long brings. Great signing of Lawton.
seems strange to let Wilkinson go to bring in Tom Forber ?
Are you suggesting we've signed Forber?

It is
8 in the division
Cornwall & Midlands & Workington & NWC to go to
Rochdale & Hunslet & Workington will bring a hand full of fans
If you don't P1$$ that division you should hold your heads in shame
Keighley & Rochdale especially are strengthening very well too.

I just picked this up from the Barrow Raiders forum. Pretty interesting stuff.
"Raiders didn't vote against any change to the structure, there was no vote, only a discussion.
What we did say was that we are tired of the constant chopping and changing to the structure. We said to look at football and the pyramid system they have and that every team in the country from grass roots upwards should have the opportunity to progress with the caveat that promotion to a higher division should be with minimum standards.
We said the Championship had been a great league this season but we recognised that League One was broken and suggested that some top conference sides might be invited to take their chances. There was also a suggestion that Wigan, St.Helens and Hull might enter B teams like Real Madrid and Barcelona in Spanish football.
We have since written to the CEO and suggested an interim season of one division with a view to a 12 team Championship in 2025 and 10 team League One but with the mission to get two extra teams to also take League One to 12 teams.
The one division of 22 teams would play each other once and 5 loop fixtures to ensure the 13 home games that we are selling season tickets for. Top 6 play-offs. top 11 in the Championship for 2025 and a play-off for the remaining place for teams 12th to 17th. That should keep an interest for most right to the end of the season."

The lack of any reaction from your supporters on your own forum about signing a top lad like Nelmesy speaks volumes about your disinterest generally in your club. A thread on here about Mayfield is more interesting to you lot it seems!!

Great signing, I said the when he originally signed and one or two called him after a couple of early errors. He went on to be one of top players cart season. We are building a great back line. I suspect Nick may finish up in the centre this year but will be strong wherever he plays
What makes you think he'll end up in the centre?

The released list was confirmation of the players that Oldham were not in contract negotiations. Those not on the list are players that the club wish to explore the opportunity to retain but will also be subject to offers by other clubs.
It’s interesting that the players the club are bringing in are on 2 year deals, which provides stability beyond next season however, if the players don’t perform as expected will require some form of pay off to release from the 2nd year of their contracts. A bit of a risk particularly without a coach being in place.
I guess Fordy and the board have confidence in them that they will perform. These are, in the main, tried and trusted pros who have shown what they are made of many times previously. Plus offering 2 year deals is more of an incentive to join us rather than sign elsewhere I guess.

Have the club released a definitive list of who was already signed from last year? Or will they be released as part of the 'media' push?
Already signed - Whittel, Ellis & Johnson plus Wardle & Turner already announced

Where was the money men then? He was far from perfect but at least there was a club to takeover 26 years later. If you want to rubbish people, look at Jim Quinn and Co.
Spot on - well said - I believe CH was an accountant in a previous life, so whilst getting paltry crowds through the turnstiles with dwindling central income & players who always got paid, the fact we had a club at all is perhaps because of him, not despite him.

If that's how it worked it's no wonder they got rid, it sounds nuts. Under that system, if Fev finished outside the best 16 teams one year (which has happened a few times in recent years) and then they brought that rule in with Fev playing no games against SL teams other than say Cas or Wakefield and the remainder of our league games against other bottom 16 teams I'd fancy us to finish just about top of the table whilst Wigan, St Helens, Catalans etc were beating each other.
I mean people get upset about loop fixtures, summer bash etc "distorting the table", can you imagine two teams fighting for the title, one has been playing against Saints/Wigan/Catalans all year and the other has been playing against Rochdale/Cornwall/Midlands?
As an Oldham fan, i'm chuckling at you bracketing Rochdale with Cornwall & Midlands .

I am guessing 24 game season, play each other three times, Twice at home and once away for four teams and the reverse for the other four teams. If I am right, ( and according to my wife I never am) the thought of visiting Le parque de Spotland twice must excite you all.
At last the truth is out - Anita is a BLOKE !!

Mr Hamilton took us precariously close to extinction on a good number of occasions
And still the CH cynicism continues! In actual fact, CH SAVED us from extinction on a good number of occasions. Unlike the last committee in 'Sheddings days.

Just a thought re. IMG & what is happening this time next year. Am I right in thinking there is only one more season of automatic promotion & relegation, ie 2024? In that case, assuming our new-look team wins promotion next year, we will be in the Championship in 2025 & can't be automatically relegated?
Whereas for the 2 unfortunate teams (possibly Dewsbury and Doncaster) who are relegated next year, they will be stuck in League One in 2025 and can't be automatically promoted?
So I reckon we are better off in League One in 2024.
Does that make sense or am I talking through my hat .

Not only that, if we were to remain in this division, then games would be made up by doing well in the challenge cup. Quarters maybe.
Wembley in the 1895 Cup ?
