Trust Oldham is a Supporters' trust, for the English football club, Oldham Athletic based in Oldham, Greater Manchester.

This is currently comprised of over 20 health & fitness facilities nationally.

Background[edit]

As said, the fog was Southend. We won 2-1 at Oldham in 1996 on a freezing night. A late header from Bally. Not sure they have any other kind in Oldham. Oldham Athletic was the last of the football league Mancunian teams for me to cross off and with it being the last away day of the season we could feasibly make, the three of us decided to go. The only snag was Boundary Park is a ground where we have yet to win, or even pick up a point. Reset Password.

The trust was formed in 2003 after previous Latics owner Chris Moore left the club in financial dire straits. Trust Oldham, which was officially launched at a meeting in the Rochdale Road End stand at Boundary Park was formed to save the club from liquidation. The Trust's first fundraising event was a match between the Millennium Allstars and the Wembley Wizards which saw former Latics players take to the Boundary Park pitch. The event raised over £100,000.^[1]

After an American consortium made up of Simon Blitz, Danny Gazal and Simon Corney from New York City took over the reins at Boundary Park, Trust Oldham agreed to buy a 3% stake in the club for £200,000. This 3% stake gave Trust Oldham a voice on the board of directors of the football club, making it a powerful medium between the fans and the clubs.

Trust Oldham continues to work with Oldham Athletic and expand its horizons with new events and new fundraising ideas all to help ensure that the future of Oldham Athletic is always secure.

Trust Oldham has a director on the board of the football club. Many Football Trusts aim to own a share in the football club they represent so they can report on the internal working with the fans and take fans ideas, suggestions and complaints to boardroom level.

Events[edit]

The Trust hold an annual dinner each year, usually at the White Hart in Lydgate.^{[citation needed]}

The trust held 'A Question of Latics' event^[2] in March 2009 at the Playhouse 2^[3] in Shaw. Former players Ian Wood, David Eyres, Rodger Wylde and Andy Barlow joined Inspiral Carpets guitarist Graham Lambert and Lee Hughes, who at the time was a Latics player. The event took the format of a Michael Parkinson style interview followed by A Question of Sport.

In April 2005 Trust Oldham contributed a further £20,000 towards the signing of Luke Beckett on loan from Sheffield United.^[1] And in April 2008 the trust bought a new tractor for the club groundsmen.^[4]
