Latics’ sponsors and commercial partners looked into the near future yesterday as the club showed off its new stand and facilities to potential sponsors.
The open day - which followed a similar one for fans - gave current backers and interested newwcomers an idea of the club’s thinking.
The new North Stand — due to open for the start of the 2015/16 season in August — will house the newly-named Oldham Events Centre, which can cater for conferences and weddings.
Corporate packages available include match sponsorship, match ball sponsorship, man-of-the-match sponsorship and programme sponsorship.
There are also new corporate executive boxes for 10 or 12 people, hospitality packages in the Broadway Suite and the new 100 Club.
At the fans’ open day, more than 1,000 season tickets were snapped up for the North Stand; a similar story emerged among corporate clients.
Director Barry Owen said: “We had an absolutely fantastic turnout with sponsors past, present and prospective. We held this day so people could have a look at the detailed plans and find out exactly what’s on offer and we’ve had an excellent response.
“From what we’ve seen today, our new commercial team will certainly have plenty to do over the next few months.”
