sheddingswasus Posted March 23, 2023 Posted March 23, 2023 Okay so assuming a new owner, after Sunday we have a two week break before our biggest home match of the season. As there is a fixture clash with both us and latics are at home with a 3pm kickoff, would you change to Monday and change to BP as a one off, to have real marketing push?
The Art of Hand and Foot Posted March 23, 2023 Posted March 23, 2023 If it is Fordy I wonder if he could sign George in the union off season?

Jamie_ Posted March 23, 2023 Posted March 23, 2023 Posters saying the move to BP would never happen, just for it to happen. Now, not even a day ago casting doubt about Rothwell purchasing the ground, just for it to get announced the next day Does anyone else want to jinx something into existence?
clifford Posted March 23, 2023 Posted March 23, 2023 For me if Chris calls time on his ownership I would like to say thank you to him. Cos clearly whether you like Chris or not his passion for the club could not be faulted. I think the time is right for new ownership but I've said that since 2015. I have told Chris 2024 new dawn..................hopefully

As my forum name suggests,I grew up with Sheddings a stones through away. I went to my first game when I was about 12, in my mid 40s now.
AmigoTopping Posted March 23, 2023 Posted March 23, 2023 Last years financial accounts have been submitted in record time yesterday. Something significant maybe happening!

tandle Posted March 24, 2023 Posted March 24, 2023 the rothwell family take over the ownership of the boundary park complex today oldham chron.
The Art of Hand and Foot Posted March 24, 2023 Posted March 24, 2023 If Fordy is involved, then how is he going to involve himself in the running of the club? We know he's got coaching pedigree. But we've got a coach. Will it be the higher up stuff or football management? It will be interesting to find out.

Thanks to Chris too....very magnanimous statement.

WellWisher Posted March 24, 2023 Posted March 24, 2023 Just now, Rochdale Roughyed said: Magnificent news......been waiting for this news for years and years. Thanks to Chris too....very magnanimous statement. Magnificent news indeed, and a relief that all the recent speculation hasn't ended in disappointment for the supporters. Exciting times ahead. A big thank you to Chris for keeping the Club alive for the past quarter century and the best of luck to him for the future.

shrewsbury roughyed Posted March 24, 2023 Posted March 24, 2023 Just read Chris Hamilton's statement. It has to be admitted that the guy has gone out with class. I don't personally know him but though he has had his critics, as has been said without him this club would probably be dead and gone long since. He has put his money where his mouth is and his health has suffered. For a quarter of a century he has run our great club, in dreadful circumstances, through thin and thinner. Regardless of personal opinions and animosities and disagreements, he deserves a massive thanks and I for one hope he continues supporting the Yeds in this exciting new chapter of our history. Onwards and upwards!
Tony Mac Posted March 24, 2023 Posted March 24, 2023 This is terrific news and I'm sure it has been a long time in the making. This will I'm sure create a big buzz of excitement around the town and will hopefully attract some of the fans who have a drifted away for whatever reasons they had and make it a huge turnout against the "old Enemy" on Good Friday. I am not expecting any dramatic changes in the near future as I believe there will be a long term plan in place, and so there should be, I am just so pleased that we have some really great news to celebrate now. On another important note I would like to take this opportunity to say a big, big thank you to Chris Hamilton for all his hard work and passion over the last 25 years in keeping professional Rugby League alive in the town. I know he's had his detractors but, I can honestly say that all my dealings with him over the years have been good ones. I wish him all the best for the future and hope we see him at the games cheering on his and our Oldham Roughyeds. Tony Mac If you’re going through hell, keep going – Winston Churchill
moorside roughyed Posted March 24, 2023 Posted March 24, 2023 I hope Mick Ford and co can take the club forward and into a new era. Good luck ORLFC.
