There is a variety of activities going on in the Family and Community section on Saturday as Oldham Athletic face Charlton Athletic.
It is world literacy week and the club will be celebrating this by having books available to read with bookmarks being given away free of charge. In addition young fans have the opportunity to create their own short story with the winner being picked by the Oldham Athletic players. The players have been supporting literacy week recently.
NBC Environment will be bringing along their birds of prey and will be available both pre-match and during half-time.
Fresh fruit will be available from the tuck shop alongside the hot food options which includes a kids meal deal option.
As usual Chaddy The Owl will be around the stand, if you see him be sure to ask for a picture.
