Cash woes for Latics

22 December 2010 12:00
Oldham executive Alan Hardy admits the big freeze could hamper the club's ability to pay their players' wages. The long-term weather forecast not only puts a huge question mark over the Boxing Day clash with Carlisle but also the derby against visiting Rochdale on Monday January 3. Cash flow is already stretched at the club after the home game against Swindon was called off two weeks ago. Hardy told the Oldham Chronicle: "If you take the two games on Boxing Day and against Rochdale, they would normally be the best attended of the season. "They are vital in terms of our cash flow. "With no revenue coming in it means it is difficult to pay the wage bill and meet the other demands on the club."
