Oldham agree new final-game date
Date published: 06 August 2015
Oldham’s last game of the season at Oxford will be brought forward 24 hours to September 12, subject to league agreement.
Roughyeds has agreed to play a day early because Oxford University want its stadium on the Sunday for a game against Waseda University from Japan. As a tenant, Oxford RL was asked to switch.
Oldham chairman Chris Hamilton said: “Oxford has given us reasonable notice so we have agreed, hoping it won’t prove too disruptive for players. It’s not ideal but we’ve done it once previously this season, when we went to Barrow on a Saturday in May. The switch will still need to be approved by the RFL.”
