About 100? (Seriously!) There is one diddy stand. Otherwise it is standing around the edge of the pitch, hardcore stylee.

1000 according to Wiki.

As someone has already said maybe Staylebridge, where we played in 2002. Just hope it doesn't rain!!

Should move it to Langtree Park IMO. Bigger crowd, so a bigger pay day for Oldham. They won't give up home "advantage" but surely someone somewhere has to make these decisions from a business perspective.

But would we want this? How much would hosting such an unappetising fixture cost? I suspect there will be a figure around the 5 or 6 thousand mark where the club would break even on hosting the event.

It might be played at Oldham Athletics ground or so I have heard.

Re: Challenge Cup Draw : Mon Apr 16, 2012 3:08 pm  

Chances are that this wil be played at LP, the whitebank is not up to the required level to play a Super league team. Chris Hamilton told the fans last night any draw with an SL club, we would surrender home advantage, and Boundary Park is not an option. I just hope that we play you on a Sunday, and not your normal Fri night.

Re: Challenge Cup Draw : Mon Apr 16, 2012 4:02 pm  

or in Saints case, wet fri nights!!

Re: Challenge Cup Draw : Mon Apr 16, 2012 4:57 pm  

I quite fancy an away trip! Hope it doesn't get moved to LP

Re: Challenge Cup Draw : Mon Apr 16, 2012 6:38 pm  

Considering how many Saints fans went to widnes on Sat, you might just fill the Whitebank up at 1502

Re: Challenge Cup Draw : Mon Apr 16, 2012 6:45 pm  

Why not Boundry Park,the crowds the football get they cant be rolling In cash. Fancied a trip to Oldham.
Or even Staleyvegas for a nutragrain bar,happy days(no rain this time though)
