It is also has a large car park which can accommodate coaches. This pub welcomes visiting fans, shows Sky and BT Sports, offers real ale (it is a J W Lees pub), serves freshly cooked food and is family friendly. There is also the Greyhound Inn, which is across Broadway down Holden Fold Lane. The closest pub is the Clayton Green, which is a Brewers Fayre outlet and can be found two hundred yards from the corner of the Main Stand and the Chaddy End, on Sheepfoot Lane. A good day out with a friendly club but a ground that’s seen better days’. There are some supporting pillars at the away end that impede the view and don’t sit too far back or the roof stops you seeing the far end of the pitch. The away end catering is all outside so wrap up well with the bar being a couple of fold up tables and a barrel of lager which is poured direct. The Oldham staff are friendly and we experienced no issues even with a fairly large away following for our division. Generally a friendly day out.Ĭhris a visiting Plymouth Argyle fan adds ‘Boundary Park is easy to find from the tram which takes about 20 minutes to walk. Some fans reckon that this is the best part of a visit to Boundary Park! Make sure you wrap up well though as the location of Boundary Park on the edge of the Pennines, means that it always seems to be cold, with a biting wind that goes right through you.

If you get chance, make sure to try one of the pies Cottage, Steak & Pepper, plus Cheese & Potato (all £3). Although covered, the ZenOffice Stand does have a number of supporting pillars running across the front of it, which could impede your view of the action. This is the opposite end to where the away fans have been housed for many years and has caused some upset with some Oldham supporters, as this was always seen as the traditional ‘Home’ end. This stand has a capacity of around 3,750 fans. The ground also benefits from four large traditional floodlight pylons, leaving the visitor in no doubt that this is a football ground.Īway fans are housed in the ZenOffice Stand (Chaddy Road End) at one end of the ground. There is still some old unused terracing on one side of this stand. This used to have terracing in front but has since been filled with seating. On one side there is the old two-tiered George Hill Main Stand. Again there are windshields to either side, but the elderly nature of this stand is apparent from the supporting pillars running across the front of it. The other end, the ZenOffice Stand (also known as the ‘Chaddy End’), is a medium-sized all-seater covered stand, that houses the away supporters. During 2015 some additional seating was installed in this stand, filling a gap that had been previously placed there to separate home and away sections. It has windshields to either side and an electric scoreboard on its roof. This is a good sized all-seater covered stand which enjoys excellent views of the pitch. This is all located below a slightly curved roof that has two large windshields to either side.Īt one end is the comparatively new Jimmy Frizzell Stand, which is named after a former Oldham player and manager.

Above this area is a large panelled back wall that encompasses corporate hospitality areas, club offices, and exhibition space.

It has a single tier of seating that comprises 2,340 seats. Now named the Joe Royle Stand after the Club’s most successful manager, it is pretty smart looking both inside and out, and is of a good size, being the tallest at the stadium. The look of Boundary Park has been greatly enhanced with the opening in 2015 of the new North Stand on one side of the ground.
