I presume the trust aren’t involved as they would maybe fall foul of some kind of legal conflict as directors of OAFC... unless they have fully disclosed their intentions to the owner? Can't see any conflict for a 3% shareholder that has had no board representation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird how it is some basic wordpress site. I was excited by this but I've more questions than answers right now. I guess once the operational team are revealed more will become clear. Can anyone confirm that the wages for OEC staff are paid by Oldham Event Centre Ltd? My understanding is that they are, and the football club then pay a fee to OEC to provide hospitality.... as you can imagine, this may not have been paid, allegedly.

Jimbooth Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 I'd say let Abdallah use it free for the sake of the club, but he'd just pocket the savings. Make him pay and release it back for player purchases during transfer windows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This seems like good news and the 1st step to getting rid of the useless scumbag who is currently ruining the football club.

Diego_Sideburns Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 The following has now been added to the original statement: Further clarification to the earlier statement: As part of the agreed purchase of Boundary Park, the group are acquiring the shares in Oldham Event Centre. Thus taking over the 364 day operations within the stand. More details of our proposals will follow, but our stated aim going forward is to generate income for the football club to make it sustainable. The agreement we are awaiting the club sign off on only relates to Matchday operations. This is in line with that of previous seasons. Increases in hospitality purchases in the 19/20 season will therefore directly benefit the club. The belief of the group is that for Oldham Athletic to be successful going forward the asset i.e. the ground and particularly the North Stand should directly benefit the football club. Our plans involve ensuring exactly this happens. In view of the fact that we will be making further statements next week we will be making no further comments until then. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcfluff1985 Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 So am I right in thinking, correct me if I'm wrong, this group will generate revenue from the stand and then hand it over to AL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like this fan based initiative needs as many people through the doors on match day as possible. ...bit of a dilemma for some here then.
