It was great to join AVRO FC, Action Together and Oldham Council to discuss progress on investment in the White Bank Road ground.
Since taking on the then derelict site Rob Fuller and the team have worked tirelessly to transform the ground and clubhouse into a thriving community venue, now home to many junior teams drawing in over 500 boy and girl players, and the Anthony Crolla boxing gym.
The facilities here are not only well used but have much more potential to grow the community outreach, through partnerships with the council and Mahdlo Youth Zone.
With the support of Action Together I’m hopeful the club is on track to secure the investment it and the wider community deserves.
I’ll do all I can to champion its work.
