About
Oldham Athletic Association Football Club is a professional football club in Oldham, Greater Manchester, England. The club competes in Football League One, the third tier of English football, and play home matches at Boundary Park. It is more commonly known as Oldham Athletic, or by its nickname Latics. The history of Oldham Athletic A.F.C. begins with the founding of Pine Villa F.C. in 1895, playing in the Manchester and Lancashire leagues. When rivals Oldham County F.C. folded in 1899, Pine Villa F.C. moved into their stadium and changed their name to Oldham Athletic. They were Football League runners-up in the 1914โ15 season but were relegated from the Football League First Division in 1923. They reached the 1990 Football League Cup Final and won the Football League Second Division title in 1991, ending 68 years outside the top tier of English football. They secured their top division status a year later to become founder members of the new Premier League but were relegated in 1994. After a period of insolvency in 2003โ04, the club was taken over by a group of US-based expatriate British businessmen led by Simon Blitz.
Stadium

Boundary Park
Boundary Park, known as SportsDirect.com Park for sponsorship purposes, is a sports stadium in Oldham, Greater Manchester, England. It lies at the northwestern extremity of Oldham, with Royton and Chadderton lying immediately north and west respectively, giving rise to the name Boundary Park. Boundary Park was originally known as the Athletic Ground when it was opened in 1896 for Oldham's first professional football club, Oldham County F.C.. When County folded in 1899, Pine Villa F.C. took over the ground and changed their name to Oldham Athletic. Oldham Athletic A.F.C. have played their home games here since the stadium was opened. Oldham RLFC left their traditional home, Watersheddings, in 1997 and moved to Boundary Park, although they briefly moved to Hurst Cross in Ashton-under-Lyne in 2002, where they played until 2009, when the football club decided that they no longer wanted them as tenants.
