Matchday Mascots

Mascots are back in force for the 2025/26 season, helping to create unforgettable memories at Boundary Park. This Wednesday night under the lights, we’re joined by our fantastic four, Arthur, Stanley, Oliver and Freddie who will proudly lead the Latics out before kick-off. We hope you have an amazing experience!

Ultimate Products Play On The Pitch

Royton and Crompton join us this week as our Ultimate Products Play On The Pitch teams as the school will bring 12 pupils to live out their dream of feeling like a professional footballer with a game at the Boundary Park pitch during the half-time interval.

We hope you all have a great time!

Charity Spotlight ... Medicinema

Oldham Athletic Community Trust (OACT) will proudly support Medicinema as this fixtures Charity Spotlight!

MediCinema is a UK charity that builds and runs real cinemas inside NHS hospitals, giving patients, families and carers the chance to enjoy the magic of the big screen — completely free of charge.

For people facing long hospital stays, serious illness or ongoing treatment, a trip to the cinema offers more than entertainment. It provides escape from the ward, relief from stress and anxiety, and a vital sense of normality. For children especially, it can turn a frightening hospital experience into a moment of joy and excitement.

MediCinema operates in hospitals across the UK and relies entirely on donations, fundraising and volunteers to continue its work at no cost to the NHS.

By supporting MediCinema, you are helping to bring comfort, hope and happiness to those who need it most.

You can support on the night at Boundary Park by making a donation or you can donate directly here
