Revolution 96.2 has announced they are in advanced talks with administrators to bring the Oldham Chronicle back to the town just days after the newspaper went into administration. http://www.revolution962.com/news/revolution-news/revolution-96-2-launches-bid-to-save-oldham-chronicle/

I'm sure Newsquest (who publish the Bury Times) would have been approached to buy the Chron. Shame they couldn't have kept the Chron name. http://www.pressgazette.co.uk/newsquest-to-launch-weekly-newspaper-for-oldham-after-chronicles-sudden-closure/

I won't even get my free bus pass until I'm 66. The b.

Got the Man of The Match award.

Byrne seems to be carrying an injury! Have we any central midfielders on the bench?

for a few minutes!

Isn't Stott one of the injured? No Hunt either!

If you ignore the players that Crusoe has marked as youth, it leaves a squad of 30 players!

You might not be finished yet!

Gevaro Nepomuceno, 24, signed a one-year contact with the option of a further year, subject to international clearance. He started his career with FC Den Bosch in the Netherlands before joining fellow Eerste side Fortuna Sittard, scoring 7 goals in 59 appearances for them before joining Romanian side FC Petrolul Ploiești. After a year in Romania, Nepomuceno joined C.S. Marítimo in Portugal, where he helped them secure safety in the Primeira Liga. Nepomuceno has played 29 games for his country, Curaçao, (which is a small Caribbean island) where he has scored 4 goals. Now he's in Oldham!

I've had a few letters, including one or two on Latics, published. The only other time was in the background of a work-related photograph.

Not sure who owns them, but the Bury Times and Tameside Reporter seem to keep going with a weekly print edition.

Maybe this thread name should be changed to The Oldham Chronicle Appreciation Thread.

The BBC is reporting that a majority of the 49 staff have been made redundant. I suppose few stay on to work with the Administrators? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-41113497#

Are we going to have a new thread for every rumour? If we're not careful OWTB will crash before the end of the day!

"Jack Byrne had trained with Athletic during the week and had been lined up for a loan move from Wigan. That deal didn't go through in time for the attacking midfielder to feature, but a player Sheridan is very keen on could now join - possibly on a free transfer - in time to play against Port Vale tomorrow night in the Checkatrade Trophy.""He (Byrne) was involved in the practice matches on Friday," Sheridan said. "He was down to play but we couldn't have him in." Today's Chronicle

FIFY.

Goal!!!!!!!!!!!

2 nil down!

"Latics can only name three substitutes this afternoon as Craig Davies, Tope Obadeyi, Ryan McLaughlin, Courtney Duffus, Ryan Flynn, Paul Green, Jamie Stott, and Kyeremah are all ruled out with injury." https://www.oldhamathletic.co.uk/news/2017/august/26082017-blackpool-team-news/

We'll probably go on and win the match now! Fawns scoring the winner following a pass from Mantack?
