palmer1 Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Rochdale say Corney contacted them, Corney In the MEN says that he was contacted by another club. Not that it matters to much but I wish clubs would just be upfront with fans corney said the same on latics world, about a struggling club, i know times are hard but i wouldnt describe rochdale like that, they always seem like a well run stable club.

leeslover Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Rochdale say Corney contacted them, Corney In the MEN says that he was contacted by another club. Not that it matters to much but I wish clubs would just be upfront with fans Maybe both true? I could well imagine that Stockport will have been looking at all sorts of options in recent moneths, maybe it's even where Mr C started thinking seriously about it?

Corporal_Jones Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 If redeveloping BP was dependent for cash on the land deal and housing, where is the money for this project going to come from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lookers_Carl Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 If redeveloping BP was dependent for cash on the land deal and housing, where is the money for this project going to come from? Would imagine for a kick off, if a new stadium was built, then the whole of the BP site would be sold and not just the surrounding areas, and also, if we were building a new ground to share with another team would imagine they would have to cough up their share?

ghostofcecere Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 I've heard a rumour that the rugby team actually deliberately damage the pitch at BP more than they need to. It would appear so at times with the way it falls apart as soon as their season starts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KUNGFOO Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 i think this would be great for both clubs GREEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT do it do it noooooow if we do the ground share new stand to be built near junction 21 m62 shaw turn off lots of land there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corporal_Jones Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Yeah but nobody what's to buy even part of it at the moment, never mind all of it! That's what puzzles me. If redeveloping BP depends on waiting for the economy, and more specifically the housing market, to revive, why not just stay at BP? The only way a move seems to make sense is if funding comes from elsewhere, surely? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeslover Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 If redeveloping BP was dependent for cash on the land deal and housing, where is the money for this project going to come from? Half of it from Rochdale would be a start wouldn't it? i think this would be great for both clubs GREEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT do it do it noooooow if we do the ground share new stand to be built near junction 21 m62 shaw turn off lots of land there As if normal people would go there though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way a move seems to make sense is if funding comes from elsewhere, surely? well it seems that rochdale hospital is closing and moving everything to oldham hospital and it seems oldham hospital is ready to develop to cope with the influx of new patients, i think the government could be interested in striking a deal to secure the land for the hospital?

longtimeblue Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 so SC only bought oldham for the land Why else would 3 succesful business men with no interest or affinity to Oldham bother, as long as they have the best interest of the club I'm happy but we should always know they are not fans, It was a business decision to buy the club - the land we are situated on is the only possesion of any note Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slystallone Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Boundary Park's between Oldham and Rochdale they can share our ground if we can share there DJ. Here here that man!! Our Franny has sooooooooo much to learn from the Dale lad - the music before & at half time when we played them in the Carling Cup was awesome....proper Indie tunes instead of the utter durge that gets played week in; week out at BP. Regarding the ground share, it makes perfect financial sense to share with Dale; but it would need a lot of planning to sort out & make it happen.

Regarding the ground share, it makes perfect financial sense to share with Dale; but it would need a lot of planning to sort out & make it happen. agree it will take full co operation between both clubs to pull it off, both will have to give and take respectively, and i cant see how the council can oppose this, there will be less traffic in the area near the hospital, and the land will be available so that the oldham hospital can develop as i said earlier, rochdale hospital is looking like its going to close and send its patients to oldham, so that bit of land could be ideal for them to develop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelaticsfan Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Any chance of you stating why ? I would like to know that aswell, why are you opposed to groundshare? do you think it wont work or is it selfish motivations, aka "ours and ours only"?

creepy Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Any chance of you stating why ? simply because that we are OLDHAM ATHLETIC who play in OLDHAM In OUR OWN STADIUM, who we share with NOBODY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corporal_Jones Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Half of it from Rochdale would be a start wouldn't it? And in the current economic climate who, exactly, is going to be clamouring to buy the Spotland site? Plus, half from Rochdale might well be a start, but what about the other half?

thelaticsfan Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 BINGO!! yes but proble is as i stated on another thread the mounting costs of running a football club in these difficult times needs a solution and dont you think it would make more financial sense to share the burden of stadium maintenance with another club? stadium maintenance is one of the biggest costs for smaller clubs. as i said before would you rather latics go bust in their own stadium or flourish in a shared one?
