OLDHAM ATHLETIC ARE BACK!

𝗢𝗹𝗱𝗵𝗮𝗺 𝗔𝘁𝗵𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝟯 – 𝗦𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝟮!

Today at Wembley in a dramatic match, Latics secured their place back in the Football League and with it, reignited the spirit of a proud footballing town.

This victory isn’t just about what happened on the pitch, as thrilling as it was. It’s about what this club means to the people of Oldham. Through years of struggle, uncertainty, and change, Latics have been a source of identity, unity and pride.

I know from speaking with fans, from generations of families who’ve followed the club home and away, just how much today means. The last time we had a Wembley final was 35 years ago and today a new generation got to experience that special feeling.

To the players, staff, Frank, Judith & the whole Rothwell family and CEO Darren Royle: thank you for giving fans hope again. You’ve built something that reflects the best of who we are: determined, hardworking, and resilient in the face of challenge.

The Rothwell family have created a new era by giving the club a boost and renewed focus. After years of uncertainty, where fans have been worried about the future of Oldham Athletic, the future is now looking up – from the new ownership, to the football on the pitch!

To the record-breaking thousands of Oldhamers who travelled down, sang their hearts out and carried the club with them – you did us proud.

This is more than a football result. It’s a signal that Oldham is back.
