Didn't the council offer to develop a new ground for the Roughyeds when they (the Roughyeds) relinquished their old ground at Watersheddings? I thought that was ORLFC's justification for moving out. That and the fact that Watersheddings needed a fortune spending on it. Last I heard, the Oldham RL club - fans and board - were left fuming when the council reneged on its promise.

I wonder how they feel now the council is throwing more than £5million at Latics?

(Sorry. I know it's off-topic, but I do wonder.)

We could go back and change the course of history, sterilise the parents of the bothersome nurks we get on here, convince Mr & Mrs Lockyer to swap Brisbane for Salford and all line up to laugh when Malcolm White sold Station Road.

My club could do with a new owner please let Marwan Buy Tranmere

Hartlepool United, NO......
Stick to horseracing pal !
you may have money, but rugby league....clueless !

Bloody hell. I've been away on holiday for 4 days, proposed to my girlfriend, and I get back to hear we've signed a top-class player (possibly) and the Doc is buying a football club (possibly). Bonkers.

I'd love it if the Ammies moved to Barton. I've never actually been to watch them but this would make me much more interested in supporting a non-league football team.

L**ds United owners are looking to sell. They have been in the 2nd and 3rd level for a few years now.
They won the league in 91-ish, which is more than any other of the clubs mentioned so far.

Hate them to bits, but have to admit there is massive potential there for an investor who can get them a few players.

Lots of racecourses in Yorkshire too.
