Crusoe Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Do we have a women's side? I looked on the club website and it mentions the Girls & Women's club, but that only seems to be U18, U12, U11, U9 and U8 sides. Just curious as both of the other teams I keep an eye out for - both National League South, so lower down the pyramid - are going all-in promoting their women's sides this season. Signing announcements, cross-promotion with the men's side, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monty Burns Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 l remember us merging with Ashton and then quietly being ignored to death. if there isnt an open age Female team in this day and age ld be shocked. l would also check the score every week if we launch a team for non binary, blind people of colour in wheelchairs that have Tourettes. it is important not to discriminate. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H&G have done a good job of kitting the shop out and looking at the amount of clubs they make kits for, I would suggest we are not too big for them. I imagine the financial power of Puma is why we chose them Edited June 23, 2023 by OAFC_ULTRA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave_Og Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 When the rugby club move up to BP could their current ground be a suitable venue for a women's team? Who else plays there? Can't see much merit in the short term for a women's team to play at BP where I'd imagine there'd be a very small crowd. Could be wrong of course.

That would be Avro FC’s ground. I was under the impression there is a Women’s and Girls team but they weren’t officially under the club.

Longlostfan Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 2 hours ago, ShireBlue said: but they weren’t officially under the club. that's my impression from the article on the club website The Girl’s & Women’s club operates as a separate entity to Oldham Athletic but work closely in partnership to represent Girls and Women playing football under the club name and badge, representing Oldham Athletic every time they play! The CEO quote does suggest that there will be an open age team fully associated with the club in time. Probably depends on funding. IIRC Yovil had a successful women's team in the precurser to the wsl but on small crowds had no chance once the big teams started splashing the cash.

Longlostfan Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Thanks Dick, perhaps their under one roof claim only applies to the kit provided for first teams and their replicas etc are outsourced. Unlike many other bespoke teamwear brands, every step of our production process is done under one roof - this cuts manufacturing lead times - and means we have the capability to manufacture bespoke kits within 21 days Shame- be nice to support some UK manufacturing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
