Email just sent to 100 club members:

 

Good morning.

 

Many thanks for being one of the first ever members of the 100 Club in the magnificent new North Stand at Oldham Athletic. We would like to welcome you and take this opportunity to advise you of the phased opening of the stand, in advance of the official announcement.

 

Following meetings this week between the Club, Developer, Holroy Developments Ltd., the Safety Advisory Group and Building Control, we are now able to confirm the phased opening, commencing ahead of schedule with the Capital One Cup tie against Middlesbrough on Wednesday 12 August.

The stand will be opened with a series of ramp up events as per safety requirements, which means opening with a limited capacity until full health and safety approval is received. The first of these will be the Middlesbrough game where we will be able to use a maximum of 50% of the seating capacity. All the ground floor facilities including the new concourse bars will be open for this fixture.

Season Ticket holders in the North Stand only will be able to apply for these tickets on a first come first served basis.

The second ramp up event will be our opening home SkyBet League One fixture against Fleetwood Town on Saturday 15 August. We will have a maximum of 75% of the North Stand capacity available for this fixture. All Season Ticket Holders seats will be available plus a limited number for advance purchase.

Our third and final ramp up event will be the Shrewsbury Town fixture on Saturday 22 August, when we will have all seats available.

 

As a member of the 100 Club you have guaranteed access to your seats for the Fleetwood and Shrewsbury games. Bar access for these games will be on the concourse only, and a food voucher will be included. As an addition to your package you will also be entitled to use your seat for the Middlesbrough game.

 

Following the ramp up events, and subject to final safety approval, we will be opening the Executive Boxes and Broadway Suite for the Bradford City fixture on September 5. The 100 Club will be upgraded to the Broadway Suite for the Bradford game and the subsequent Peterborough game, which will include use of the private bar facilities pre-match, at half time and post match.

 

The final phase of the opening will see the 1895 Suite launched at the Wigan Athletic fixture on Saturday 26 September.

 

We are also pleased to announce the first of our exclusive networking nights. This will take place on Thursday 10 September in the Broadway Suite and will give you the opportunity to meet our new manager Darren Kelly.

 

100 Club members will also be invited to the official team photocall, where you will have the opportunity to meet the players. Further information will follow on this in due course.

 

If you have any queries on the above or require any further information please let me know. We hope that you are looking forward to the opening and are excited about the forthcoming season.

We very much look forward to seeing you.

...awaits comments from the 'flat-earthers' who said that it wouldn't happen at the start of the season, would be weeks for utilities to be running, 'I work in construction', blah, blah, blah

 

Seems like a decent job was done after all. Looking forwards to getting in there.

I've always said hospitality wouldn't be ready for first game and so has been proven.

 

Positive news though overall!!!

Did anyone say the Hopsitality would be ready? It was announced quite some time when it was going to be.
