Barely had a minute since Saturday but just wanted to take one to say thank you to the Oldham fans (and some from other clubs) who have been in touch over the last couple of days. I’m just doing my job, but your kind words are appreciated very much #oafc.

What. A. Day! First impressions of Frank Rothwell, a character who cares deeply about the town and the club. I can’t think of a better fit #oafc

Signing off after a thoroughly enjoyable day at BP - one of my all-time favourites in football. Such a special story for Mike Fondop and his Dad ⚽️. Keep an eye on @TheOldhamTimes website for more content tmrw & in run-up to another big game v FGR #oafc . 📷 @phillsmithphoto

Almost 30 hours since relegation was confirmed for Oldham Athletic, and there has still not been a comment from the owner or board. And they wonder why fans are, to put it mildly, fed up #oafc

Special thanks to @OfficialOAFC's @DannyGardner8 for this interview about his son, Bailey, & his family, on the importance of #AutismAwareness and acceptance. A reminder that footballers are human & not immune to life's struggles. #AutismAwarenessDay #oafc.

Frank Rothwell and Darren Royle joined about 60 volunteers helping to spruce up Boundary Park for the first home game of the season on Saturday. Well done to everyone involved. Never seen as much bird poo! #oafc

2021 - the year I started covering @OfficialOAFC for @TheOldhamTimes and what a rollercoaster ride it has been. Thanks to all who have read the match reports, stories and tweets, and thank you for the warm welcome to your club. I hope there are better times ahead in 2022 #oafc.

A mini protest at Boundary Park at the final whistle as Latics suffer a fourth straight league defeat, losing 2-1 at home to previously winless Colchester. Fans chant “We want Abdallah out” #oafc

A great big Happy Birthday to this wonderful human with a wand of a left foot and barely a grey hair on his head, despite being 60 today. SIXTY! (He won’t thank me for this) 🎂💙. A legend wherever he has played, not many people can say that

MM says he wants more from Mike Fondop. “Much more”. Not sure how much more he could physically give to be honest. And without his goals… well… #oafc .

Understand Latics have made a bid for Chester’s Kurt Willoughby as well as an improved offer for Scunthorpe striker Joe Nuttall. Sources close to the club say there is confidence that both targets will be secured #oafc.

Happy Birthday to the legend that is @butterworth_roy! 83 years young today and closing in on six decades of volunteering for his beloved Latics. Where else would he be celebrating but BP, and let’s hope he is still celebrating at full-time #oafc

David Unsworth said Latics “felt right” and, having worked with him towards the end of his playing days, at Burnley, and kept tabs on his coaching career since, I think he’s a great fit for the club. Really excited to work with him again #oafc

Hope everyone made it back from Scunthorpe safely, some of the worst conditions I think I’ve ever driven in coming across the M62. Relieved to be home. Just peeled my hands off the steering wheel.

After Mount Kilimanjaro, the Atlantic and ‘The Island’ - among many other challenges - here’s how Frank Rothwell is tackling his next one @OfficialOAFC. A fascinating 40 minutes or so in the company of the new Latics chairman and his wife, Judith #oafc.

I’ve just watched our Facebook live back and you really couldn’t script the contrast in ownership. What a breath of fresh air Frank Rothwell is. And funny. Laughed out loud again at the mention of women’s toilets (about 19 mins in). I can’t wait to work with him #oafc.

Signing off for a little while. Unfortunate timing being the start of the season but football and school holidays don’t mix and need to spend some time with my family. The Latics section on @TheOldhamTimes website will be kept updated in my absence. TTFN #oafc.
