Club Statement

The club would like to confirm that it has now reached formal agreement for the club to be taken over by a consortium headed up by former players Martin Hall and Terry Flanagan MBE.

Incoming Chairman Terry Flanagan would like to place on record his thanks to current shareholders Michael Ford and James Minton for their support in making this deal happen.

We would like to thank Mike in particular for the tireless work he has done over the last few years in rejuvenating the club both on and off the field.

Both Jim and Mike leave the club in a very strong position on the field and as new owners we plan to build on that over the remaining games left this season.

We would also like to place on record our thanks to former chairman Bill Quinn for his contribution in finance and general support and wish him well with his current health challenges.

The club has faced many challenges these last few months and there will be challenges ahead but the new team are committed to leading our great sport in this great town. We have received excellent support from various partners such as RFL, Oldham Council, Oldham Athletic and we look to develop our relationships with all stakeholders going forward .

Whilst it isn’t ideal that this Sunday’s home game is being played at Dewsbury Rams, we can confirm that all remaining home fixtures will be played back at Boundary Park.
