Update from Jim Minton, David Bottomley and Simon Winnard

As always, a good day to all Roughyeds.

We hope you’ll be attending in numbers tomorrow night to back the team and the club.

We just wanted to update you all and say that our former Chairman Bill Quinn is categorically not holding up any potential sale of ORLFC or the attraction of potential investors. The three of us are heavily involved – almost hourly and certainly daily – in meetings and negotiations with a number of consortiums who are well past the NDA stage and are currently involved in due diligence. None of those discussions are in any way dependent on our former Chairman.

Bill remains the club’s major sponsor and continues to provide facilities that ORLFC uses on a daily basis.

Please do not give negative and unhelpful speculation the time of day. What we ask, as a group of people working hard behind the scenes to keep ORLFC running and secure a future for the club, is that you truly back us by buying tickets for tomorrow night.

Yes, it’s three consecutive Fridays, which is far from ideal, but the club did not itself  choose those dates – they were given as dates we could play in Oldham.

So please support the club and turn up in numbers tomorrow night.

All the best,

Jim, Simon & David
