We can confirm that our home Betfred Championship fixture with Bradford Bulls will now take place on Friday April 25th, kick-off 7:45pm.
The game has been brought forward from Sunday April 27th.
Oldham chairman Bill Quinn told Roughyeds TV that the club has been listening to supporters and is keen to try and find the best possible matchday experience moving forwards.
"We don't want to be the kind of club who just says 'this is what we are doing' without thinking about the fans," said Quinn on this week's episode of The Boundary Line, with well over 1000 Roughyeds fans completing a recent survey.
We want to see if a Friday night might be better - we have to build up the crowd so if the odd Friday night here and there helps to do that and works for people then let's trial it and have a look at it.
The club is open to hosting home games on a mixture of Friday nights and Sunday afternoons after consulting fans, many of whom have expressed a desire to trial a home game on a Friday night.
65% of more than 1000 supporters to complete the recent fan survey have expressed a desire to try a Friday evening match at Boundary Park, of which the mouth-watering visit of the Bulls will be the first.
