With the inevitable breakup of the present squad it will be interesting who will be with us next season. Does anyone know is signed on already to complete their present contract?
-
Can't wait for this one. Does anybody know when we will be beating the Chemics? And importantly who will be refereeing. Hopefully, not that widnes lad.
-
I believe we are playing Widnes this weekend. We need to be better with the ball than we have in our last two games to beat them. However, losing to them keeps us away from London until the final so really it's not a game to get too upset about.
-
Has anyone got any idea of how many season tickets have been sold. And if so have more been sold this time around?
-
Looking forward to another great game and let's hope we have at least 2000 there, the club deserves it. Oldham by 40 if they play like they did against London. Again a lot depends on the referee, they seam to be getting worse every week.

Now for the big one. Over the past couple of weeks we have been getting ready for this one. Let's be honest win or lose it won't make any difference, London are going up as was the case at the beginning of the season with the fat controller's input (Nigel Wood). If we can give them a game I'll be happy and not to get anybody injured for the final few games. Sadly, London by 40. Got to remember they are full time and most of them are NRL players. And we might get Popodopolus as referee!

Looking forward to a home game at last and hoping for a decent crowd to welcome in our new board of directors. They deserve all the support the town can give them. My biggest concern is our shortage of props and the injuries picked up at Batley.
-
Now the club has been saved, I thought we need to start looking at next season. The main reason being London have been given their place in SL this season no matter what happens in any playoff. The salary cap will affect all of the clubs outside of SL so we will all be in the same boat, so we need to recruit wisely to be in contention next season. Obviously, everything depends on how the fat controller mismanages the game outside of SL.

I bought SIX season tickets to watch Oldham at Boundary Park - that's gone and I am prepared to go to Bower Fold. The Hunslet fixture was Friday the 27th March, for which I, with my other five season ticket holders, were looking forward to. For whatever reason unbeknown to everybody I have spoken, to the game is now on Sunday. None of my six are able to go since plans have been put in place for the Friday fixture not Sunday. How can the club expect support when a change is made without ANY reason behind it. It will be interesting to see how many turn up on Friday. If anyone knows why it was changed please let me know, and how many of the future Friday games have been changed?

As far as I can see the commercial side isn't promoting the club to the "future bums on seats." Speaking to a friend who is passionate about "our" club and is also involved with a top local side with many senior and junior sides he said, at a recent presentation night there wasn't any input from Oldham. The same happened recently at St.Annes' presentation night - shirts being auctioned from Wigan, Leeds and St.Helens and Flanagan doing the presentations. When I posted this before someone attacked me saying did they contact Oldham. My reply is Oldham SHOULD have a foot into every club in Oldham. Oldham should have posters, leaflets anything to promote the club. Unless you are on this site or the Oldham website, or by word of mouth, you wouldn't have a clue if and when they are playing. When the club was reborn, something we are all grateful for, we had open forums the message was IT'S YOUR CLUB to meet the board and players. Sadly, nothing this year. The club's commercial side needs think outside of the box and get out there and do their job.

Sad to hear the passing of a real gent. A Rugby League man through and through. RIP.

I've noticed like others that we often go off at a tangent, so I thought let's have a chat page. My chat is, on Sunday at the game I was talking to Sean Whitehead about Blackpool Borough and we couldn't remember the name of their ground. And last night at about 5am I started to think about all of the great Rugby grounds, with memories, that have now gone. Beginning with Watersheddings.
-
With all the chat about getting into SL what criteria is used, and do "they" put each team down and compare each criteria? For example, the ground being suitable for SL giving each criteria a maximum of 5 points: Oldham 5; York 4 - car parking issue; Toulouse 3; London 2 ( don't know where they are playing; Bradford 0. Another could be away support: Oldham 5; York 3; Bradford 3; both London and Toulouse O. I don't know what others are used, but surely it can't just be favouritism or in the case of Bradford "they were good once." Or in the case of London "we need a team in London" I still feel it's Bradford, London and deservedly York. We will be there next year unless they change the criteria again possibly saying you have to be able to speak french!
-
Hard one to call. Just hope the big lads from Doncaster softened them up a bit. I think us having a break and them only having 4 days to recover could be the differece. Oldham by 12. (Depending on the ref!)
-
A great game in prospect. They will have the scoreline from our place plastered over all the walls in their changing rooms. We have a side, if they play to their potential, to turn them over and to have the double over the top side in the division. Up the Yeds!
-
Does anybody know what the injury situation is at the club? JT, Agoro, Astley, Hurst plus others and hopefully none from the HKR mismatch.
-
Sean can't change that side that thrashed Halifax. Craven must stay at 6 so taking some of the pressure of JD. I can't see us putting another 60+ against them but I expect at least 40.
-
Well it's Wembley next year and now down to the nitty gritty. I just hope for SL's sake we have some bodies back for what will be another hard game. I also hope that we get a decent turnout of fans to give support to OUR club.
-
A week to go and we'll know if we are Wembley bound! I see Featherstone thrashed Widnes today and let's hope they feel a little overconfident about next week. And who knows the plastic pitch could have some repercussions. We can only hope we have JT and Lawton back and who knows if anyone else can come in to fill the gaps all over the place. Depending on the bloke in the middle, I'll take Oldham to win by 12.
-
Lets hope we have our strongest team out to prepare for the semi-final. Come on the Yeds!!!!!!!
-
The interesting aside to this game is the draw for the semi-finals, with both us and Featherstone in the draw, being made BEFORE the game. Hope they bring a few so creating a great atmosphere with the possibility of opening up another stand. Should be a cracker!
-
So sad to hear of the passing of Tony Finan. Had some great chats with him at The Weavers - about rugby. The world is a sadder place.
-
Well back to the bread and butter games now we have got the CC out of the way. Sadly, yet again the attendance will be low since LB won't bring more than a taxi load. Looking at the games we have had at home, I don't think Batley, York and Barrow brought more than a coach load between them. Hope I'm wrong and the home spectators turn up, but a lot will depend upon which side SL puts out.
-
Well as expected SL has brought back all of the big guns for mission impossible. I only hope we don't get embarrassed and we escape with no injuries. The league is the priority and the dream of Wembley a close second.
