Barry said, “I know we have a lot of fans out there who have followed the club for many years but, for whatever reason, have not renewed. We want every fan on board because the club's ambitions haven't changed. We want to get into the Championship and take our loyal fans with us. The club recognised the poor relationship between Ronnie Moore and the fans and, while other factors played a vital role in Mr. Moore leaving, their actions demonstrated that the fans' voice is heard. That sort of loyalty should be repaid and this is a golden opportunity for people to join a club which is managed by a team of professionals who are Oldham through and through.”
