Last
Rugby at Boundary Park
The Latics
have revealed that Oldham Rugby League will play their last game at Boundary
Park this weekend. The Rugby League team will face Leigh Centurions on
Sunday knowing that they will have to play the rest of the season somewhere
else. The Latics have decided that the state of the pitch was being seriously
affected, and new turf will have to be put down. Chief Executive Alan Hardy
revealed: "Pitch consultants have told us that if the surface at Boundary
Park is to be ready for the start of the new football season, then they
must make a start of the renovation work by early June."
Instalment
deal for season tickets
Although
almost 14% more season tickets have been sold compared to this time last
year there is still a deal for potential buyers. An easy payment plan is
available for fans who want to spread the cost of the ticket over the season.
An adult season ticket in the Seton Stand would cost £28.44 a month
for 9 months, a total of £255.96 which is a saving of £90 against
normal match day prices.

Bury
Bury have assured
fans that they will not be left behind in the wake of Oldham Athletic's
controversial link up with Leeds United. Chairman Terry Robinson has admitted
that there have been approaches from two teams already proposing a similar
arrangement to that of Leeds/Oldham. However, as the league's rules state
that clubs can not hold or deal in another club's shares, there would need
to be wholesale changes made before such deals could go ahead. Mr. Robinson
stated that "Over the last twelve months two clubs have approached us at
a minor level to see if we would be interested in getting involved with
them if the regulations allowed it." He also went on to emphasise the club's
desire to be involved in any future deals and also the risks of being left
behind. "We wouldn't have the resources to compete, facility-wise, nor
would we have the drawing power of being associated with a big name club."
