OASF and PTB are delighted to announce a Fans XI vs Latics XI. This will take place on Sunday 26th June at the Avro FC, Whitebank Stadium, Oldham, OL8 3JH and all proceeds raised will be put into the 1895 Fund, a fund working towards safeguarding the clubs future by purchasing Boundary Park, securing our home.
We have managed to secure a number of ex-players including David Eyres, Paul Rachubka, Brian Wilson, Adam Lockwood, Mark Innes and Adam Griffin to take part in this game with others to be announced shortly and we are currently scouring our history to find managers to lead each team. Full details for both will be announced shortly. We would encourage you to bring your friends and family down on the day, the facilities at Avro are absolutely fantastic, including food and a brand new bar and we are delighted to be working alongside a fantastic local club.
In terms of the game itself, we’ve tried to keep the format as simple as possible to achieve the best results. There will be 16 fan places to be won; starting 11 as an auction and the sub places by a raffle.

We would like to thank the shirt sponsors for the game AC Tyres and Shawside for their support in making this happen. If your company could contribute in anyway, whether that be drinks for the players, supplying a physio for the game or any other support, please do get in touch.
We’d love to get you involved with this, this is your chance to compete against players we used to cheer on from the sidelines, but more importantly raise money to go towards a fantastic and hugely important cause.
If you have any queries or suggestions, please let us know.
