geoffcooke Posted March 24 Author Share Posted March 24 Members of Rugby Oldham committee attended the press release. I wasn't able to go myself so I'm waiting on further info about any involvement but am optimistic RO will have a role to play. CH has gone into retirement. Don't know if any further involvement is anticipated. Although we've had disagreements over the years it would only be right to acknowledge Chris' commitment to ORLFC over 25 years even at the cost of his own health at times. It's great to have some positive news around Soccer and RL in Oldham after so mant years of disappointment. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first thing the new owners must bring in is 3 prop forwards, absolute disgrace we only have two prop forwards in our second league game of the season. If the new owners are ambition I expect to see 4 or 5 new players to cement promotion, we are currently that many short to get promoted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As we keep the status quo I think we'll be short on bodies come the business end of the season. We been crying out for a quality team for years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moorside roughyed Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Hopefully Fordy and co will be able to entice the quality the club needs. Some local talent and good relationships with our great local amateur clubs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
