OLDHAM’S next game at the Vestacare Stadium on Sunday week, May 21, is their most attractive and most important home game in this promotion-seeking season.
Dewsbury Rams, currently top of Betfred League One and unbeaten with seven wins from seven, come to town as hot favourites to go up automatically, having already piled up 303 points and conceded only 70 with an average match victory score of 43-10.
To mark the occasion our new board has taken the decision to stand all match costs; to waive admission prices; and to let everybody in FREE OF CHARGE — not just under-16s, which is normal, but FREE FOR ALL in the hope that the Vestacare will be rocking for this top-of-the-table spectacular, the result of which could go a long way to determining who finishes top.
Said managing director Mike Ford:
“We’re making a statement of intent — we are on this journey together and we want everyone to feel they are involved.”
He also said it was designed to maintain the club’s feel-good momentum; to create a buzz; to attract fans of all ages, both old and new; and to build an atmosphere fitting of such a key game.
The one stipulation is that all fans must obtain a ticket via the club’s ticket page.
Mike explained:
“We’ve got to have some control over an initiative like this — for numbers, for example — and this is one way we can do it.”
The club has already said it will reimburse season-ticket holders and anyone who has already purchased a ticket online.
Roughyeds will also have a bucket collection for charity. More details to follow.
