Athletic have renamed their ground Boundary Park, as if the fans didn’t call it that anyway! After renegotiating the original five-year sponsorship deal with Sports Direct it has enabled the name change.
New owner Abdallah Lemsagam commented, “After speaking to Trust Oldham and supporters, it was a priority for me to look at the options surrounding the stadium name and how we could go back to our traditions and heritage. I would like to thank Sports Direct for the way they have engaged in discussions as well as the positive and efficient way we have been able to renegotiate the deal. We are also very grateful for the way they have supported the club throughout the last four years. I would like to welcome supporters back to our home, Boundary Park.”
