The Art of Hand and Foot Posted June 21, 2020 Author Share Posted June 21, 2020 In the end it was a Lancs v York vote. But what it does show is that there is still some pride in our past. And it's something we need to push and promote. Passing that pride on to a younger generation. The promotion of Oldham as the home of Rugby League with Joseph Platt a son of Oldham , Father of Rugby League. Is one way. Maybe the council will see the pride and status that this has . We need a home. We need it to be in Oldham. Watersheddings area has some space. Maybe we could build a ground , a spiritual home, a stadium that can only be used by the club for the purposes of Rugby League. A stadium that is a seperate business from the club and is leased to the club, at cost. That way it cannot be used as collateral. A few years ago there was talk of investing into the current club. That was never going to work. My view then, as it is now is let's invest into the ground. How? A steeple fund or buy a brick fund. Like churches do. We set up a fund, seperate from the club, to build a ground on the east side of Oldham. Once funds are in place we can negotiate with the current owner and the council and the RFL. If one of the parties doesn't play ball, we take our money back. There are obstacles, egos, legal challenges, economics and doubt. Joseph Platt had those by the barrow load. He did it. So....?

OL14.yeds Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 It's interesting to read more chat about the glory days, the demise, and the hope of one day maybe reliving those times to a certain degree. Fans of other clubs (both RL and football) have certainly managed to achieve a lot "out of nothing", so it shows nothing is impossible.
