jroyales Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 The work starts now to get supporters into the ground. can I suggest the club gives 50/100 free tickets to each of our amateur club sides, get free tickets to schools and get a full page advert in local newspapers. They could also ask the Latics to promote the games in their matchday programme. I'm sure there are lots of things the club can do but it must start NOW!

It's from capital funding, to which all local authorities have access and it is not sourced from Council Tax. It enables the kick start of regeneration projects/investments. The future of Boundary Park is most definitely, just that. Very exciting for the town! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 How long is the tenancy? How much is the rent? What attendance figures do we need to break even? How much influence do the oldham athletic board have over the rugby club. Does the football club have a clause to get rid of the rugby club if the rugby club default on rent payments. A part from no substance it's a good move. I got to feel sorry for AVRO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A part from no substance it's a good move. I got to feel sorry for AVRO I’m not sure we’ve ever known the financial details of any deal or details of break even attendance figures. It would be good to understand whether this is a long term agreement. However, if a tenant of any kind defaults on payments to their landlord, they are likely to be got rid of. I would assume that any agreement in place with AVRO would have covered this season only due to the possibility of promotion. Clearly they wouldn’t have been planning that as guaranteed revenue for next season. Common sense would suggest that all parties were subject to an NDA which would not have allowed for a conversation with AVRO until after the deal was secured.

I would imagine part of the agreement between OAFC and the OMB for funding for the new hybrid pitch was on account of a fairly lengthy lease with ORLFC. Rothwell is a good local man keen on having the Yeds there and director Darren Royle (the unit on the right of the picture) has experience with ground sharing as CEO of Wigan Warriors. The council paid for a multi use pitch during the Torex ownership years, when it was done Roughyeds were "kicked out" and the only multi use was as a landing pad for Mr Torex's helicopter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember when they were asking for volunteers to help get Whitebank ready?. People turned up and worked hard with limited materials. Did they get thanked for their efforts from him in charge? The answer was a big fat NO. At the first game at Whitebank, some were still there doing finishing touches and they were made to go out and pay to go through the Turnstiles! 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I along with my son and many others sponsored a square metre of White bank turf for £10 per square metre. This money was to be ringfenced for ground improvements. Where did this money go?

Our most profitable season in years and only £15K left in the bank account. When I look at other clubs accounts they also have made money but their bank accounts are a lot larger than our own.

Tangle Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 As usual the grumbled are back how they must hate a little good news, Tandle doesn’t realise all players are amateurs till they turn professional , curly has been moaning for years, and moorside wants to know where the season ticket money went in covid well my two were donated to the club not that it’s any of his business. Back to the rugby good luck to the lads at weekend ,it will be great to have a few days in Llandudno 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
