As fans and being concerned about one of our own players, why are the club not updating on his recovery toward a return to football? I think we all know his injuries are bad and it could take a while, alongside his confidence, I think it would also be beneficial to Hope if he knew we were concerned for his wellbeing. We don't need to know about any criminal charge proceedings etc. Would it be cheesy for the club to put up a page where fans could leave a message of well wishes and the lad could read them for himself? Positivity aids recovery and all that. Maybe I'm just getting soft in my old age. Have you written a letter or email to the club asking how he is with a message of well wishes?

Roger Ritchie Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Owing to the fact that Hope was going to score 37 goals this season can we get some money off the perpetrator for costing us our promotion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, I'm not actually complaining, I am pointing out what appears to be a lack of concern from the club in keeping the fans informed. Do you not find it strange that there had been absolutely zilch on how he is or when he is expected to be back in training? Communication is key, in any form of business.

Of course, as I'm sure we all do. I don't really know regarding the other clubs, I can only refer back to when the Latics official website used to have a section on the progress of injured players and when they would be back in training or in contention. To be honest, I'm not sure when this ceased to be the case. It seems to me to be a courtesy to fans to keep them updated. It's all good and well knowing there is a multi-faith prayer room but what is happening re: Maynard, Hogan, Hope, Windass etc? I'm in no way disregarding what they have done to save the club, I can't thank them enough but something so simple as injury updates must be easy to do. I just don't get the exclusion of this.

You'll normally only ever get a rough "he's our for a couple of months" or he has a slight knock. Managers don't want other clubs knowing in advance what team they're likely to pick.

That was 3 weeks ago….however the club did say this…. “Whilst the investigation is continuing Oldham Athletic will make no further comment on the incident.” I can understand that but what I can’t understand is why there has been no update on his condition and progress as to his possible return to fitness. I find it very strange and wonder whether there is a lot more to it than we’ve actually been told! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find this whole secrecy thing extremely baffling, we're in the National League, not the Premiership. I would, however, appreciate a tad more transparency for the fans who are interested enough.

I find it very strange and wonder whether there is a lot more to it than we’ve actually been told! Struck my mind as well and I suppose it could account for the lack of info but a general comment on how the guy is doing or how the club is supporting him would not go astray. It's not like this kind of incident is an every day occurrence and they don't have to go into detail, just a " Yes, he is progressing with recovery, the club is supporting his rehabilitation, he is expected to resume training..." They don't have to comment on the incident itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a duffing on a way home from a night out after taking the Featherstall Road route and being in the "wrong area". Police did nothing apart from advise me to be more sensible.

I can’t speak for others Monty but personally, i’m just happy for Hallam, (and I’m sure that many others are) that he’s back in work following the injuries he sustained as a result of a possible criminal act.
