  1. We have the best Chairman in RL. However he needs our help with just one thing, putting more bums on seats. The crowd size on Sunday looked pathetic bearing in mind our league status. Josh Drinkwater alone should fill the JR stand. Let's be blunt, there is too much lethargy in growing our fan base and we are all to blame. How many have asked their neighbours, work colleagues, relatives to a game. I hope the club marketing team are visiting schools, employers all over the borough and Ashton,Rochdale, Bury. Selling tickets at half price whilst on site visits subject to getting email contact details for future games is just one option. How about one game being free entrance. Get the ball rolling now before it's too late.

    Anyone heard of any new rumours for next season? Looks like Charnley wants to stay in SL and go back to Wigan if possible?
  3. Totally agree with these comments. During the cold winter matches, there was many comments appearing saying the crowds will grow when the weather improves. I was always sceptical about this assumption and yesterday was proof that the weather only has limited affect on sports crowd sizes. Wow some people even blamed the hot weather yesterday for putting people off. It did not put off people at the cricket or Wimbledon. It's time to act and get marketing to another level. The club appears to rely on media that the existing fans use. What happened to the leaflet distribution etc. I for one offered to volunteer, but no one got back to me. Up the Yeds, I love this club and can't thank Mike and Bill enough.

    Is it possible that we are going full time next season? This has been mentioned previously on fan chats and therefore those players who prefer to be part time because they have jobs elsewhere, will move on.

    With the confirmation of two departures today, are we in for replacements prior to next season, ie in preparation for the play offs?

    Does anyone know if there is a massive signing imminent? If so, we will have to thank King Bill?

    If true and of course it's a big if, do you think Mike and Bill are bringing forward some signings prior to the playoff's. Just a thought?

    Is that due to the French air traffic control strike?

    Totally agree. I am enjoying everything about the club literally on a daily basis. We now have an owner who hates losing. Now in the past there was many a fan who would not like the arrogance of winning at any cost , hence teams like Wigan and St Helen's continued to win win win. I'm convinced there was a weakness in our DNA or something, that and being damn unlucky with refereeing decisions etc. I think we have moved on and with Bill running the show, we really mean business. Has our time about to come since the glory team of 1957, only time will tell. My gut feeling is that we will never have a better chance of becoming a great team again. It wont be done overnight, but I can guarantee there are a number of clubs looking at us with envy. Support the lads and get the message out to your neighbours and friends. Be positive and dream big. These other teams take for granted what Bill and Mike want. It's good to have owners who are winners.

    I would like to see PLT have a go at hooker sometime. I think he would be deadly in that position, especially in the championship.
  11. I would go for Oldham Meerkats. Would be a great hit selling soft toys with Oldham Rugby shirts on. Would get big internet interest as there is a big insurance organisation with Meerkat name on TV . Indeed if marketed correctly, who is to say we can't get some sponsorship from the said company? We simply have to think outside the box on this one.
  12. I know it sounds early to be thinking of squad names for next season as we don't know what league we will be in, however it's clear that Mike is constantly working on possible signings and I wondered what fans thoughts are on the type of player we will go for. Josh Drinkwater is in the bag and personally I would make him club captain. I assume JT will move into a coaching role. Unless contracted for next season, I also assume those players who struggle to get in this season's team will be released and higher calibre of players brought in. The question is who these players are going to be. I hope we have a mixture of young hungry lads with a sprinkling of older heads. Any thoughts or indeed rumours ?
  13. Would it surprise anyone if the RL turn a blind eye to the dimensions of a pitch if it suits their narrative? Am I correct in thinking that Featherstone's pitch is not long enough for professional rugby league? This farce of IMG rules has probably ignored something as simply as pitch dimension. I may be wrong.
  14. If there is to be a name change, make it as big an issue as possible. Get publicity across the media that there is a competition for the best name for Oldham RLFC. It could possibly get on the local news and become a talking point. Our marketing team could contact all the RL news outlets. The winner could say get a signed shirt, free season ticket?
  15. Totally agree with these comments and no doubt Mike and Bill are thinking along similar lines. I suggest we get our heads together and think of something outside the norm? After just a couple of minutes I thought of Oldham Meerkats. Or Oldham Sasquatch. All gimmicks but that's what gets people aware of your product. Finally and think long and hard about this. Oldham Athletic RL .
