Hi James,
After 42 years of supporting my hometown club, Oldham, I am sad to say that I cannot offer support anymore.
Why?
- The club don’t play in the town anymore, or even the borough
- The total lack of communication from the club as to where it stands in the current situation, other clubs are making full announcements on players for next season and where they stand in any competitions being offered by the RFL and Oldham just say silent (they only issued a statement after my comments on their twitter feed)
- The lack of ambition of the club for the future
- The chairman/owner needs to change
So with these personal opinions, I have now decided that I have to find another team to support. The question is now, who?

Editor’s comments: Oldham find themselves in a difficult position, whereby their “home” ground isn’t suitable for the Championship, forcing them to play away at Stalybridge. I think it reflects a big problem that some expansion teams have suffered from. You need a permanent home ground, a place to call your own, to enable you to grow, to be sustainable and to build year on year.
