I disagree. It would have and did alienate many fans as it looked to be a move out of Oldham. Depends whether you look at Postcode and what not.
The best moves put forward to move the club, would probably have been SportsPark2000 to be built on Westwood Running Track/Clayton Playing Fields. Or the Ferny Field move to Chadderton, would have provided plenty of space for stadium and other commercial opportunities.
However, staying at Boundary Park was always the best option, for me and i'm sure for the future of the club. Links with the motorway, bus links and not too far from Manchester make the ground accessible to everyone. It's also our traditional home, just a shame that the land can't and won't be built on to such as extent that TTA would have wanted under the first Oldham Arena plans. Bloody Nimbys and economic downturn!
