Tommy_Fent Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 how big was the package? Maybe it's a board to put up at the front of the ground saying "welcome to Oldham Athletic and Curzon Ashton Football club" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldhamathleticfailsworth Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Just thinking here we know tameside council would welcome a profesional football club with open arms, maybe well off the mark but does any one think we could develop curzon ashtons ground while we are playing there.

shefflatic Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 (edited) AH said at the FF that none of the non-league grounds are up to league standard and all would need money spending on them to upgrade to football league standards and said we are looking at lgs 1 and 2 local teams ie bury rochdale. My guess is we will be ground sharing with Bury whilst our new stadium is being constructed, all to be revealed in May (own guess, just trying to believe smartzatarts info, not seen/heard anything to doubt it so far and the little snippets at the FF were little hints towards what he has said as being ever so slightly plausible) - I just wish he would come out and say what he knows/believes to be true rather than his criptic riddles!

I heard a rather crazy rumour the other week from a Bradford fan that there were discussions about sharing there. But never in a million years IMO, how far away is Bradford from Oldham?

FCUM's ground has had council funding withdrawn, so think that might be tricky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But never in a million years IMO, how far away is Bradford from Oldham? 35 miles, about an hour on a good day. THat's nearly Lverpool. That far away you could start to include Accrington, Warrington, Leigh Sports Village, and nearly Tranmere and Crewe! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just as feasible as Bradford is the brand new 20,000 capacity stadium at Salford only 14 miles away. The Corp would be pleased with that kind of capacity.

The Corp would be pleased with that kind of capacity. It is only being built to 12,000 initially, with room to expand to 20,000 if the need arises. And won't be ready in time for August. That might cause Corp some consternation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy_Fent Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 That'll be more than enough. FA rules state that the minimum must be 6000 with 2000 covered seating Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
