Lukers1 Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 I think it’s appropriate to say well done to the Roughyeds on reaching the playoffs with the win today. I await the minority saying how they hate rugby but any Oldham team getting some success needs congratulating!!. Well done Yeds…. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BJBlue Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 They'll get battered I imagine but as they were focusing more on off field matters this season (so I'm told), making the play offs seems ro be a good achievement. I'd like to get them back to BP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otid Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Today was the best we've played all season. This has been an absolutely awful campaign and the likelihood is that we'll only 'enjoy' the briesfest of finals appearances. Having said that....if the performance that emerged today happens to be repeated next week, we could possibly (unlikely) edge Rochdale in the elimation play off, until the inevitable tatering in the qualifying play off. The difference between third/fourth and sixth in this league is a chasm, sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lags Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Sunday, September 11th at 1pm at Rochdale. The initial capacity is 954 however, hornets are in discussion with Rochdale AFC hoping to get an increase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_Og Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 It would be stretching it to say I follow ORLFC but I certainly hope they get some success. No realistic chance in these play-offs but getting there is a minor achievement. Until they popped above Hunslet on the final day it was notable that the only sides below them were from areas outside the natural RL belt. Anyone who just dismisses the whole sport as rubbish can't have watched, say, a classic derby between Wigan and St Helens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stargazer Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 The demise of the rugby league club is as soul destroying as the football team. In 1986 I saw Oldham lose 16-22 to Australia , it was as good a night as any of the wonderful latics matches that followed as the decade ended. To put it in context the Aussies won every match on their tours of 82 and 86 , most by 40 or 50 points ........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Banks, Zone 3 Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 I started watching ORLFC with some mates in the late 80's because our old PE teacher, Eric Fitzsimons, was coach. It was pretty enjoyable for a time, but there was one bank holiday Monday, around 1990, when I was at Watersheddings and Latics were at Leeds. The rugby announcer came on at half time and said 'bad news... Latics are winning 1-0'... the whole ground groaned. I spent the next 40 minutes ignoring the rugby and praying we'd held on... announcer comes on again at the end and says 'fantastic news... Leeds have equalised in the last minute!'. The ground erupted in delight... I've never wanted anything to do with them or their game ever since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Fitzzzz he's a wanker wouldn't let me play Cricket bc (aparantley) my arm dropped as l got tired later on. never forget taking my 4th wicket on debut and catching him looking angry, he never picked me again . used to think about him every time l saw Malinga bowl. not surprised at your anecdote about rugger types hating Latics as lve experienced that for myself. bunch of pitch ruining, piss drinking bell ends.

He knew I was a Latics fan and told me he'd played for our reserves before moving to Bradford Park Avenue - he actually played in the Football League for them in their last season in it - and then turned to egg chasing.

I used to watch ORLFC intermittently in early 80s however they played Sundays as Latics Saturdays so not get that type of anti-Latics reaction. I have got to say though that many times meeting ORLFC fans socially and discussing our relative clubs, its amazing how many seek to blame Latics for ORLFC's demise in all or part! Not really followed ORLFC since but would still classify myself as a Yeds sympathiser rather than fan, I hope they win on Sunday as I do feel that any sporting success by any Oldhamer/ Oldham team should be celebrated. Maybe one day ORLFC and Latics could be at least cordial neighbours again (if they ever were)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
