roughyed8 Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 After today's excellent win Roughyeds are now one win from promotion but we still have to deal with the elephant in the room (no not Mr Hamilton), whitebank is not fit for Championship rugby and there is deafening silence on where the team will be playing. Please can we have a statement saying something, even if specific venues can't be named at least that an agreement is in place for a stadium that meets championship requirements. It would be devastating if all the hard work the players have put in comes to nothing and if promotion is won the club is then denied a place due to not having a suitable ground.

moorside roughyed Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Yes it was a terrific win today.With regard to the ground situation, I choose not to think about it.I just try and concentrate on the team performances. Think of the ground too much and it gets a bit depressing. But your right,it doesn't bare thinking about not going up if the team has earned it.Worrisome times.

TOSH1960 Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 I've said this on a previous post and i'm happy to be proved wrong but at the ORSA Buffet before the Barrow game, Chris said we'll be away from Whitebank and back after one year because we cannot get the ground up to standard in the limited time between this season and next. Where i do not know but hope and pray it's not to far away from Oldham. But for now let's celebrate the wonderful season we are having and enjoy the presentation of league winners and playoff winners in 2 weeks time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOLTON ROUGHYED Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Any elephant who chooses to can kiss my 4r5e after today. What a fantastic effort and testimony to the fitness of those lads this season. Swinton threw everything at us today and particularly in that last 5 minutes of the first half (which seemed to go on for about 15!!!). They were immense today.....

Blue Monkey Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 What a ding-dong match today, it's just a pity one side had to lose. Had our lads taken full advantage of the chances they created late in the first half and during the second 40, the result might have been different. Well done Lions! - and Roughyeds too.

Dave Naylor Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 What a ding-dong match today, it's just a pity one side had to lose. It's a fair point. If we get over the line and gain promotion this year, we need to compete with the likes of your club week in week out. We've had two great games against you this year and let's hope we can both enjoy a similar experience next year too. Two Lancashire teams getting promoted out of League 1 will suit me just fine.

moorside roughyed Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Cheers spud forgot about that. Let's see if he's true to his word.It's still interesting to know where we will be playing next season. It better not be too far away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roughyed8 Posted September 7, 2015 Author Share Posted September 7, 2015 Thanks spud I had not seen that, as M R says hope it's not too far, although I did overhear some terrace tittle tattle that BP is nailed on thanks to intervention from the council.

HomeOfTheTubularBandage Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 We've been asking for months. He's got exactly what he wanted. You've all forgot the massive problems and the bull cos we're winning. As soon as the attendances topped 500 he stopped sharing real info at the meetings. Then stopped the meetings. Stopped communication. He's not interested in engaging with fans, he did it cos he thought he was going out of business and the rfl told him to. I'm sure the club will be promoted. But it doesn't solve any of the fundamental problems. Short and long term ground issues. Club financing. Unless he has a non profit agreement with Boundary Park, we will be playing outside Oldham next year, with a new lease bill to pay. Enjoy promotion. It's been a long time coming and well earned by great performances. But don't be shocked next season if all the old issue arise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HARRYRUBY Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 We can overcome most of the problems except one. CH the immovable problem. Until he informs the fans and potential investors of the truthful situation of the club so that an answer to our problems we will always have the problem.

thecrab Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 I haven't forgot either. I don't know CH at all but I now know why there are so many who speak so lowly about him. He is the problem with our club and until this albatross around our neck is removed we will continue in the doldrums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
