Dave's Mum.  I tried to manage Twitter/Videoing but I need to be using both hands constantly on the video camera so I've had to call in reinforcements.

Two records broken, highest score by the Yeds and the lowest attendance for a league game for ANY Oldham team - this might even mean an A team fixture.

18 tries, record win, awful attendance

SCOTT Naylor will take no great satisfaction from watching his Roughyeds side score 18 tries in a club record 102-6 win against West Wales Raiders, the side struggling at the bottom of Betfred League 1 without a win all season.

 Are these records for the ‘new’ club or entire history, don’t care for the split myself but for some rugby in Oldham was ‘born again’ in 1997 ?

If memory serves the "old" club record score was against Liverpool Stanley/city

 

For was about 66 against was 6

According to Turner 4/4/59 home v Liverpool city67-6. However the important thing to consider is they were 3 point tries. The number of tries were 13 and 14 goals from ganley.

Again according to Turner, 18/3/1899 We beat Goole (amt) 63-0. 17 tries and 6 goals.

Thanks , so that would be 80 for us  in 'new money', lets hope we don't all go the way of Liverpool City !  

[Dave Naylor]

I've given some thought to Sunday's attendance.  The low (even lower) number was an anomaly brought about by a number of factors.

1. We were playing the winless bottom club and a high score from Oldham could be reasonably expected.  I saw some bookies odds on the  game and West Wales were given a 90pt start.  So we bettered that by a dozen.

2. The game came in a period where we've had hot sunny weather with plenty of recreational options available at the weekend.

3. Many, many fans will have spent Saturday evening watching the England soccer game, possibly at the pub or at a family event.

If you're watching the pennies or wanting to spend some time with your family, two events in the same weekend would be competing for your attention.  Given the choices of a forgone conclusion in the RL game or being swept along the euphoric wave of England's World Cup run, you can see how our attendance was so dire.

I did both but that may not have been feasible for others.

Having said all that, I would have estimated a crowd of 350-400 based on average attendances this year.  So a possible 100 or so people made a choice and we lost out.

We have four more home league games this year.  At least two of them—in the shape of Whitehaven and Bradford—should provide a tough test and games with real jeopardy.  Should we finish in the top three we should have a home semi-final against another top-five club, so there should be some thrills and spills to come at the Vestacare Stadium in the business end of the season.

Hopefully our attendances will pick up, even more so if results go our way.  Everyone loves to follow a winning team so let's keep our fingers crossed that it's us.

Yes, but as my 14 year old grandson said, this is probably the only time in HIS lifetime (let alone ours) that OUR club will score over 100 points

Cunninghams figures are something else, be interesting to see how different it'll be against better opposition. All the backs made huge metres particularly Hooley

Tbh Dave if I wasn't a season ticket holder I probably wouldn't have been there simply because it was too hot for me,very uncomfortable.I too hope the attendances pick up as we will be in a pickle otherwise.I predicted sub 300, didn't expect to be correct.

Record score, record margin, record number of tries scored.  I also managed to squeeze all that into 10 minutes of video
