Bill's big offer aims to get Boundary Park bouncing!

Roughyeds chairman Bill Quinn has urged "the best fans in the world" to take advantage of a one-off discounted ticket offer to fill the Joe Royle Stand for the final three games of the season as Oldham bid to be crowned League 1 champions.

Courtesy of club sponsor Total Demolition, fans who snap up tickets for the next two home games against Newcastle this Sunday and Cornwall, will get the final game of the season - which we hope will be a party atmosphere and trophy presentation - for half price.

"To the best fans in rugby league, a special offer from Total," said Quinn.

"Buy the next two games and you get the party game half price.

"We want to see these stands full and we want the best fans in the world to push the boys to victory and get us over the line."

Crowds at Boundary Park have rocketed this season, as Sean Long's entertaining table-toppers have dominated the opposition, winning every single home game to establish a three-point title lead over Keighley with just four games to go.

The Roughyeds could now clinch the title at Cougar Park next weekend.

Far more than 80 minutes of thrilling live sport, the Boundary Park matchday experience now features a Fans' Bar build-up hosted by broadcaster George Riley, live music from resident band The Boundary Parkas, community curtain-raiser fixtures, professional dance performances from the 1876 Dance Troupe, meet and greets with the players and much more.

The travelling support at away games including Keighley, Rochdale, and further afield at Workington and Cornwall has also been sizeable, and has played a huge part in the team's success according to head coach Long.

"You have travelled all over the country with us and this is where we need you the most," said Long.

Meanwhile, Oldham will bid to clinch the League 1 title without first-choice forwards Brad Gallagher and Jay Chapelhow after the pair underwent surgery that has ended their seasons.

Gallagher suffered a broken and dislocated thumb in last weekend's win over Midlands and has already undergone surgery.

Chapelhow has also had an operation this week on a long-standing wrist injury.

* Kian Morgan has requested a release from the remainder of his contract which was due to run until November.

Sean Long and the board have granted Morgan’s request.
