Oldham Athletic’s Sportstown Project Receives £5m Boost

Oldham Athletic has announced a significant development in its community engagement efforts with the launch of Sportstown Oldham, a project set to enhance sports facilities and health initiatives in the area. The project, a collaboration between the football club and other local stakeholders, has secured a £5m investment aimed at revitalizing the region's sports and health infrastructure.

The initiative, dubbed Sportstown Oldham, is not just about football; it aims to be a hub for various sports and health-related activities. The project includes plans for new sports facilities, community health programs, and outreach initiatives designed to improve the overall well-being of Oldham residents. The investment comes from a mix of public and private funding, reflecting a strong commitment to the area's development.

Oldham Athletic's chairman, Frank Rothwell, expressed enthusiasm about the project, stating, 'Sportstown Oldham is more than just a sports facility; it's a vision for a healthier, more active community.' The project is expected to break ground later this year, with completion anticipated within two years.
