Lack of ambition

[RoughyedsMad]

Whilst we welcome the recent news regarding an artificial pitch at Whitebank, I cannot help thinking that this signals a lack of ambition. We should be wanting SUPER LEAGUE within a few years. Staying at Whitebank means we will not go any higher than Championship. This is as good as it gets!!

It's a shame we now have a post headed lack of ambition after today's wonderful efforts. Although the ground situation is of course important can we please not just enjoy today's achievements

Well said Oldham forever. The heading for this thread is to me a slap in the face for our fantastic team.Not impressed.

Whilst I agree with your comments there is no point in having a fantastic team if we constantly have a ground which is not of Super League standard. It is just a let down and we cannot progress up the RL ladder! It is all about operating on a shoe string and on a part time basis and survival year after year. We are not going to win anything!!

I think we are quite happy at Bower Fold for now and yes let's dream of Super league but these boys have made a huge step by staying in this division this year.

I would've thought there are a number of clubs that operate on a more or less hand to mouth basis.Most of the sport is either part time or amateur. There just isn't the finances in the club to establish a ground.We'd all love a decent little ground to call home but it isn't going to happen, we'll just have to be content with what the team have just achieved, which I for one am.Look at Sheffield, full time,no ground and at the moment might not be around next season, would you prefer that?.
