Oldham to continue selling match-day programme

While some clubs have previously ditched the sale of match-day programmes, and others will follow suit in the coming season, Oldham RLFC has decided to continue with the sale of traditional programmes as a service to fans.

For various reasons this is no longer a money-making exercise -- hence the decision of many clubs to either go online or abandon programmes entirely --  but the majority view of the Roughyeds' ten-strong management committee was to retain the status quo.

One of the reasons to stay traditional is the fact that many supporters have told the club they prefer a written programme and would be disappointed if it were to become another thing of the past in a rapidly-changing world.

The club has listened to what they have said in the hope that supporters will realise there is a lot of work involved in regular programme production with very little financial return, if any, for the club.

Consolidation achieved, but with an unfulfilled objective to entertain and compete. Latics have won four games and drawn two, including last week’s stand-off against leaders Bromley at Hayes Lane, and the season is back in the balance. Tranmere Rovers were there to be hammered at Prenton Park, and Latics obliged. Tequila!
