Emcee_Latic Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Blitz can't be stopping the opening of the North Stand. The club "pay" rent for the whole ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kowenicki Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 North Stand Update Just now © Eddie Garvey Oldham Athletic and Oldham Event Centre (OEC) are pleased to announce the signing of a joint operational agreement, regarding the operation of the Joe Royle Stand seats and concourses on matchdays for the 2021/22 season. This process will be ratified at a SAG (Safety Advisory Group) meeting on Wednesday 4 August. Once ratified, the stand will be in use on matchdays once more including the matchday bar in the OEC. Both parties now move forward, working closely together for the benefit of the clubs’ supporters. All supporters who held a North Stand season ticket from the 2019/20 season will be given priority to transfer back to their original seats. An announcement on the process for season ticket transfers will be made as soon as possible. Please do bear with the club, as we work through what is an extremely busy period. Back to my old seat, bloody marvellous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where nothing was gained by anyone. By spectacular coincidence ofcourse this happens after Barry Owen leaves. Anyway I'm sure the Lemsagams will think of something twattish to do in the next few months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oafc1955 Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Without pressure from fans, fans groups, PTB etc. etc. it would never have reopened. If they’d got it done sooner, and I’m sure they could have, it would probably have helped sell a few more ST’s. Its still absolutely ridiculous that the corporate income is generated in a ramshackle shit hole when a state of the art structure is sat empty on the other side of the pitch! Its a start, and a move in the right direction but they still have a long long way to go before getting businesses and supporters back on side!

Indeed I think we will give the club a tentative bit of credit here. We've had a progressive day, and a step in the right direction has been made on and off the pitch. But let's not kid ourselves that this should NEVER have to come to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Sinnott2 Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Another feather in the cap for Evans; managed to get rid of Owen (whether he resigned or not) and now got the North Stand open. Much better than his predecessor... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the North Stand reopening was probably in part a condition of him taking the job, and finally, a realisation from the board that it was a massive issue with supporters!!

LaticMark Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 I picked up my season ticket this morning, and there was no one waiting. However, both car parks behind the RRE were virtually full, and Latics don't have that many staff. I know the land is owned by Brassbank, but surely someone is missing a £ trick?

Doesn't the hospital use the car parks for their staff (& possibly patients). As the 4th is junior doctor change over day can see lots of staff using it currently until the junior doctors work out where they can park more cheaply.
