WATERSHEDDINGS_ORLFC_1972 Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 (edited) Expansion Ideas ! Playing Venue, making the boardroom bigger, marketing, open to investments by high quality companies, on field performance bonuses, expand fanbase with community inclusion, digital advertising, social media, tv, radio, streaming games live. school promotions, quality players and coaching staff. (present staff and coaches unknown quality at the moment). Selling the company to venture capitalists. Eddie Hearn leading the British RL into a better place. Paying players & coaching staff well to encourage to go that extra mile on and off the pitch. Setup a charitable trust etc.. Maybe Regionalise teams if they cannot afford to survive. All views and ideas welcome. Edited November 21, 2021 by WATERSHEDDINGS_ORLFC_1972 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eclecticsheep Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 A level Whitebank* would have done the job. I once thought we had this secured... but I guess even the Council had to call time on that arrangement??? *It had potential and was better than Nothing.

WATERSHEDDINGS_ORLFC_1972 Posted November 23, 2021 Author Share Posted November 23, 2021 I thought we had a long term rental agreement with OMBC. How is it Avro United are the main tenants. Didn't we keep up with the rent or something. I agree White Bank had lots of potential at the very beginning. Having a synthetic pitch is no good for RL you need grass. White Bank has loads of ground which wasn't utilized. We could of totally redesigned White Bank. Wider Pitch, Seating Stands, Developed A larger Car park, Main Pavilion, Training Pitch, Bar, Function Room, Proper scoreboard. We could have developed White Bank long term to a 15000 seater stadium it had loads of land. Couple of old tennis courts etc.. Another wasted opportunity.

WATERSHEDDINGS_ORLFC_1972 Posted November 24, 2021 Author Share Posted November 24, 2021 Oldham Council prefer the Football Club over the Rugby League because they think there's more money to be made ! When in fact, if you can tap into Oldham's growth potential of Rugby League over Football then the growth potential of RL wins hands down! It's just that no one has figured it out yet ! I'm not waiting another 24 years for us to be a power again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, we weren't a 'power' 24 years ago. I think you'll have to go back a LOT longer than 24 years to find a time when we were a 'power' in the world of Rugby League. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the land around Whitebank has either been built on or is owned by others. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
