It is with great pride that on Friday 24 March 2023 we will have successfully achieved the initial aim of bringing the club and its home, Boundary Park and surrounding land under single ownership.
Huge thanks and gratitude to Simon Blitz and Danny Gazal. They have been extremely patient, trusted us 100% and honoured the handshake on 9 May 2022. They have been incredible and are forever welcome to Boundary Park. True gentlemen.
This is something to celebrate so come down to Boundary Park and party this Saturday when we welcome Solihull Moors, kick off 3pm but come down early for the atmosphere.
We are fully committed to make Oldham Athletic a club which is welcoming for the whole community so come down with your kids, parents, grandparents, friends and neighbours. If they have never been even better. With Oldham’s support we will make Oldham Athletic and Boundary Park a place we are all proud of.
The opportunity created by having the club, Boundary Park including ‘Little Wembley’, car park and surrounding land under single ownership is huge.
The recent announcement of the incredible £1 million investment from Oldham Council and the return of Rugby League is just the start. We are constantly looking at opportunities that would enable us to improve and extend the facilities that we can provide for the benefit of all Oldhamers. For now let’s celebrate and enjoy having a forever home.
It is important to thank the amazing work by Marion Brewer, Philip Parkes and the teams of accountants and advisors at RSM. Karen Proctor, Rachel Mcilroy and Jonathan Edwards from Knights our legal advisors have brought a level of intellect and dedication we have never experienced before. Karen worked every day of a family holiday, not something we encourage but we are grateful for. Due diligence of the highest order, we do things proper!
Not wanting to make this sound like a speech at the Oscars, none of this would have happened without the relentless work of Darren Royle, Peter Norbury and our team. We are very fortunate to work with you all.
Frank, Luke and Su
