Well done to 99% of supporters that worked out yesterday’s news regarding Chaddy The Owl was an April Fools prank.
We apologise to the 1% of fans who were deeply concerned for Chaddy’s welfare, but we can now reveal the whole story was a hoax.Chaddy The Owl has been a longstanding member of the Oldham Athletic family for decades and will be for a long time to come.
There are no plans to introduce Spamella the Elderly Pig as our new club mascot.
Long live Chaddy!
