Oh dear, Oldham Athletic relegated to the Conference. Former Premier League team soon to be replaced by our arch rivals..... ' Stockport County '

Re: Oldham athletic
Very different to Stockport. Really feel for their fans.

The first team to “achieve” this feat
Re: Oldham athletic
Very very sad and yet another example of how an owner can totally and catastrophically ruin a proud club.

Re: Oldham athletic
It's not been a great few years for clubs in the Greater Manchester area has it, first Bury go to the wall, and have to reform, now Oldham fall out of the FL.
It does raise an important question though, which is the highest league ground above sea level now?
And I certainly wouldn't be gloating as who knows what Burnley's future holds.

Re: Oldham athletic
Always enjoyed trips to Boundary Park, proper football ground. As mentioned disgraceful terrible owners.
Hopefully will come back up and rise through the divisions.

The answer remains the same as it was before - The Hawthorns, West Bromwich Albion.tiger76 wrote: ↑Sat Apr 23, 2022 9:38 pmIt's not been a great few years for clubs in the Greater Manchester area has it, first Bury go to the wall, and have to reform, now Oldham fall out of the FL.

Re: Oldham athletic
Always had soft sport for Oldham, used to go on boundary occasionally in the 80s, always felt for them being so close to Manchester. Latics might be down but they will hopefully come back stronger

Re: Oldham athletic
The answer that always sticks in my mind is that if you projected a ball level, and due East from the top of the Hawthorn's main stand, the first land it would hit would be the Urals mountains ...Cheshireclaret wrote: ↑Sat Apr 23, 2022 9:41 pmThe answer remains the same as it was before - The Hawthorns, West Bromwich Albion.

There's a rumour that there's a blade of grass at Forest Green Rovers that is higher than those at the Hawthorns, even Mrs NL knows that WBA is highest ground in the country, Oldham possibly the coldest.
Re: Oldham athletic
According to Pep & Arteta, it's every blade of grass on the Turf
Re: Oldham athletic
I’m not sure of the ins and outs of their owners but they’ve been languishing in the bottom leagues for what seems like ages.
Somebody has to drop, unfortunately.

I asked mi dad earlier, because he's older than me, if Oldham had ever been non-league before, and he simply said 'obviously.' Which teached me summat propper.

Re: Oldham athletic
Current owner been there since 2018 and oversaw their relegation from League One and now from League Two, plenty of podcasts out there from former players such as David Wheater and Anthony Gerrard who explain what a circus it is at that club with the current owner.
Re: Oldham athletic
Luton almost first relegated from Div One in 1991-92 season
Re: Oldham athletic
Carlisle have also gone from tier one to “non league” as have Notts County and Leyton Orient

As an Oldham/Skipton hybrid, I am disappointed the Latics have gone down.

Re: Oldham athletic
28yrs since they dropped out of the PL
24yrs since they dropped out of what's now called the championship into what we call league one, finishing outside the top 10 more often than not.
They've been in league two since the end of the 2017/18 season and again they've finished outside the top 10 everytime.
The current owner took over in January 2018.
Prior to his ownership Oldham were on their arse financially, subject to several winding up orders and having their ground raided by HMRC a couple of months before he took over.
He sounds like a bit of a tool, but Oldham had been in a mess for years.
Can't see them climbing up the league's anytime soon based on their previous 28yrs of league history
Re: Oldham athletic
It is Stockport County but that will change as soon as the new Everton ground is finished.

Re: Oldham athletic
There was a plan mooted some years ago, to form a North Manchester team combining Bury,Rochdale and Oldham as all three were struggling for cash and support.
Hindsight is always 20/20 ,but perhaps it wasn't a bad idea after all.

Great memories of the Anglo Scottish Cup at Oldham. Absolute claret destruction in the first leg. Great times.

Re: Oldham athletic
My most memorable trip was the fa cup tie in 74 when Taffy took Ian Wood to the cleaners and we won 1-4.
Some great pre match entertainment in those days our fans invaded the pitch and took the Chaddy end

Re: Oldham athletic
The 3-3 at Boundary Park was a cracker.
Full away end and we were 3-1 up against 10 men. Cruising.
Thunderstorm. Oldham come back.
Pure drama.
That Waddle season had it's moments.
