I didnt realise that the championship had a different standard to League 1, i thought it was only Super League that were demanding things (and even then you could get round it..)

It may be a decision Oldham take themselves: in the Championship, they seem to play at Bower Fold (Stalybridge Celtic FC - a tidy little stadium with cover on all four sides); in League One, they play at Whitebank (much smarter after a revamp, including plastic pitch, but not great viewing when there's anything over 1,000 spectators).

The Art of Hand and Foot Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 2 hours ago, Eddie said: Oldham are an interesting one from an outsider’s point of view, being an historic club from a big town. If you were doing well in mid table in the championship and playing at a decent ground in Oldham what sort of attendances do you think you’d get? If there must interest in the town any more? If we are playing, for example, at boundary park and were in the top six of the championship I estimate up to 3,000. Now some would laugh at that, but given our heritage and with the right promotion, I think it's a given. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to love my trips to The Watersheddings first went in 1958 when Oldham were the top side over the hill.Even when my car had to be towed back to Ponte due to a broken petrol pump didn't put me off.

The storm Posted January 27, 2022 Author Share Posted January 27, 2022 My own team widnes vikings have a feel good factor after signing tyler Dupree, Sam Wilde, matty Fozzard, levy nzoungou, to our exosting squad I feel we are looking at a 4th spot myself and like everyone else this will be injury dependant. We have a solid and reassuring board of directors, but nobody with any genuine wealth. Indeed widnes fans themselves have out in half a million over the last 3 years. If we had a financial backer we would totally blast it, but im guessing all clubs would say that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry Badrinath Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 I'd say warrington, I went to a fans forum with daryl Powell last night, very enjoyable, he's actually quite funny and not just a miserable ###### like we see on sky. That being said, I can understand seeing him like that after listening to him talk. Said a lot of the right things and knows what he has to do, in terms of trophies but improving price's dour style of play (a few interesting comments on that last night ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was fascinating and funny and was great to spend time with. It seems he’s a different person at work but in the line of work he’s in, it doesn’t surprise me too much.

He spile about bullock as well, someone questioned him as a replacement for hill, he reckons he's a good player who wigan pushed to the side when he announced he was intending to leave, hence his lack of gamete last year.

We shall see. I quite like joe bullock But not in the same class at his best as chris hill, which was admittedly 2 or 3 years ago Philbin and Currie under performed last year and Jack Hughes ciuld be passed his best its possible that in Bullock, Cooper, Currie, Hughes and Philbin tge Wolves ciuld be seriously out muscled by a lot of teams I dont think that BMM has been adequately replaced and Margolis and Jason Clark are solid workers rathee than star quality hit men.
