disjointed Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 1 minute ago, Sloshed Joe said: I’ve seen it publicised that the total raised from his two combined rows is around £1.3 million. I wonder how come the first row raised so much more money, as it seems the row this time has gained so much more publicity (or maybe it’s only on my radar because of the football club). Magnificent achievement and I hope the media attention continues to help grow the Just Giving final total. One of his sponsors matched the money raised on his 1st row, I may have made this up but I'm sure I read it somewhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I and all of us can't help being biased given what Frank and his family have done for our club, but surely if gongs mean anything in this day and age he deserves a knighthood for what he's done for Alzheimer's fundraising.

Of course he should, but being the bloke he is, it is most probably the furthest from his mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately parliamentary tradition states that the nominee's MP needs to lead the campaign. That is apparently Jim McMahon who was at the game on Saturday. I would think there will be some people on here who might have some familiarity with the process so would happily lend a hand crafting any letter. I know I would.

LaticMark Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 Interesting article on The Oldham Times website from Suzanne Geldard: Oldham Athletic chairman Rothwell has Boundary Park plans "More generally speaking there are plans afoot for the ground; a long-term vision that will not come to fruition overnight but one that, he assures me, will be brilliant for Oldham. It has yet to be finalised so he is not at liberty to divulge more than that. But it is one that he is passionate about, not least because it will have wide-reaching benefits beyond football, and bring more people to Boundary Park." www.theoldhamtimes.co.uk/sport/24349367.oldham-athletic-chairman-rothwell-boundary-park-plans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
