All that money I spent on the club front of shirt/back of shorts and Socks sponsorship and you get the name wrong.... Want a credit note now... Come and say hello at the Forum The thing is John, you've involved yourself in a club where we all feel we should be up there with Wigan, Warrington etc. We feel we are special. First home of the the Northern Union/RFL, 5 times challenge cup finalists, 3 times winners, population 237,000, Joseph Platt , son of Oldham , father of Rugby League. A lot of us feel feel we have been dealt a sh!t hand. Tandle is just expressing the frustration some of us feel. As business man you know , buy at the bottom. You have made a good decision, BUT we need to be in Oldham. I promise you, do that and we'll start to thrive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair the Swinton fans are still waiting for John to explain what he did or more importantly didn't do at Swinton. Had all our pants down .

fiftiesremembered Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 spot on Arty - by Oldham by RFL and by previous management. Situation most hurtful to those of us who witnessed the great teams of the fifties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It needs a base in the town,or it will die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t see a problem with whitebank for one season. If it’s cheap and we can invest heavier in playing staff to push for promotion then why not?

We've tried whitebank, it's not that central and doesn't have the facilities. Boundary park does, but if we can't go there then I vote for st Anne's. It doesn't have the facilities, YET, but it's central and it's Rugby League at heart and soul. Promotion is not my number one priority, building up a base and heartland and support will follow, as will promotion. If we always do what we've always done, we'll always get what we've always got. As I've said before, if we had done it 5 years ago, where would we be now? No worse than we are now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tandle Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 the best ground for one season is ashton utd . if there as been a fallout between ashton and ch i suggest mr. roddy eats humble pie and goes to ashton utd, and asks can oldham go back there if the rent for one season is paid up front. or two or thee supporters who are friends go to ashton them selfs and ask if this is possible. if it is then the supporters chip in and pay the rent including me.

Dave Naylor Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 The question on the supporters' survey about how you get to the ground made me chuckle. Car, Walk, Taxi, Public Transport etc. There was no option for "How the chuffin 'eck do I know. No-one knows where we're playing yet". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avro want us to commit to longer term than just possibly one year then move if we get promoted, which is understandable from them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tandle Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 mr rimmer of the rfl this week as stated that clubs could be notified about the restructoring and fundings of the clubs before christmas brilliant by the rfl. but he is really pleased how the womens game as progressed if we needed a idiot to run the rfl we have got the best.

wayne_r Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 I certainly agree about Mr Rimmer - but the RFL leadership has been so poor for so many years now - I think the rot set in when Maurice Lindsay became chief exec.......no doubt Wigan fans would disagree - but we would not get any Wigan fan posting on championship or league 1 notice board would we Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
