Think it is positive with the renaming of the fan bar at Boundary Park to the "1895 bar". A date which is relevant to both clubs.

Platt Fields was where Ferranti used to play. Hollinwood play where Oldham are now training at Melrose playing fields.

Platt Fields was illegally sold by the Maxwell group, where Morrisons was built on the site. When it was realised the council gave up fields across the road, where Chadderton ARLFC used to play, to replace them. You notice the field and building where the dressing rooms are lay unused to this day, since the demise of Chadderton ARLFC.

Also Riley Dean kicked 5 from 6 for Ireland against Scotland.

Les Boyd was the perfect pantomime villain.

What is probably overlooked is Cian Tyrer only had 12 appearances to score is 29 tries. That is a remarkable return at any level of Rugby.

Does this have what you want? https://www.rugbyleagueproject.org/seasons/third-division-2024/oldham/summary.html

Bit of a shock, but a good one.

Sadly just seen Luke Gale is retiring.

I notice Wakefield have announced that Matty Ashurst is leaving, this should allow us to announce him, if it is happening. Also notice they are letting Luke Gale go, he would be a direct replacement for Jamie Ellis if we could get him.

Just like Rugby League, Rugby Union is struggling, and the only time Union press reporters will entertain the talk of merging the games is when Union is on the decline.

Outside of the main try scorers, PLT and Tyrer, I think there is a shout for the pack as a whole. Farnworth and Wildie already mentioned, also it is noticeable when Kopczak is not on the field. We also cannot overlook the captain JT has been immense.

Latics do it, but it is not enforced and people just sit where they want. Could cause issues if someone insists on their reserved seat.

Shame, I thought we might have took Sidlow on permanently.

Josh or Jack?

The leader of the council was at the last game, and presented the team with their medals. We must also remember it was the council that funded the upgrade to the playing surface, which facilitated the ability to play both football and rugby on there. They come in for a lot of criticism but in this case, not deserved.

Both Sidlow and Dudson who we have been rumoured as looking at have been announced to be leaving Salford at the end of their season.

Great read. Yet another thing that Oldham has that is better than most clubs. The heritage website is a mass of information regarding the clubs past.

It makes sense that Keighley's only hope of finishing top, is not only to win this game, but also do enough damage to the Oldham squad for the remaining two matches. Therefore as previously mentioned lots of niggle and physicality can be expected. Discipline is crucial. Lets hope we do not rise to the Flanagan factor.

That was at Springfield Park Wigan against Springfield Borough.

The Oldham fans are in the main stand in blocks F & G. It looks like the additional stand being opened is the Sandy Lane end which is standing.

Agree with Craven, outstanding organisation and his kicking game was spot on. Was nice to see the people of Oldham finally turning up to see what is an outstanding entertaining team. More thought has to go in to coping with overspill if we expect crowds of this size again.

Just got to keep the foot on the gas, I think it is Hurricanes at home after Hornets. All teams seem to be aiming up when they play us, so we have to keep focused.

Riley Dean looks impressive on you tube, and a few clips show him linking well with Mattie Wildie when at Fev.
