Saddleworth FC gets go-ahead for new pitch at Bishops Park
Saddleworth FC has been granted a 30-year lease by Oldham Council to develop a neglected field at Bishops Park into their new home pitch. The club, which has 15 junior teams and an academy of over 50 children, plans to create a pan-disability team. The field, previously used as a pitch until 2019, will be maintained by the club and opened to public use when not in use. Local councillor Josh Charters said the development would help deter anti-social behaviour in the area.
