My first visit to Boundary Park came in 2010. At the time I wasn't going to every away game with Gillingham as I have done in recent years, but Oldham was one ground I wanted to tick off in Gillingham's season back in League One after promotion in 2009. We hadn't won a single away game in the 09-10 season so of course confidence wasn't high. Our last 3 games were 3 successive draws with Stockport, Charlton and MK Dons. Whilst Oldham were heading into the game with 2 wins in 5 games, both of them wins coming against Leyton Orient and Stockport. All I remember from that day was going by coach on the Supporters Coach, I don't really remember too much from that day if I'm honest. But since my 1st trip to Boundary Park, I have made other visits since.


Boundary Park has been the home of Oldham Athletic since 1904. It was renovated in 2014 and currently holds 13,500.

Well as my previous 3 times have been on the coach to Oldham, last time I went to Oldham was coach and this time I decided to go to Oldham a different form of transport which was train. I have to say, I did thoroughly enjoy the day despite the result. So, before heading off to bed the previous night, I set my alarm for 6.15am as my train I planned to leave on left home at 6.52am, so got all ready to leave. Left home and got into London just before 8am as usually it only takes around 50 mins to London but took a bit longer than usual as it stopped at a couple of extra stations. I left Euston at 9am and got into Manchester just after 11am. As I got into Manchester, I planned on visiting Maine Road, the former home of Manchester City as I did watch videos on YouTube about Maine Road and it was 1 of the grounds I would have liked to have done but wasn't to be. Set off in a taxi and got lost in the taxi as the taxi driver wasn't sure where it was, but in the end, found it. So I got to Blue Moon Way, where of course Maine Road was. I did hear about the centre spot at Maine Road still exists and it was fitting to see it, as below. So I looked round Maine Road, which is just mainly apartments and houses now. I left there not so long after 12ish, and walked back to Piccadilly which took me around 35 mins to get back. Then I got on the Metrolink tram and headed for Oldham. Overall an enjoyable day as I do like visiting old grounds which was. Shame about the result at Oldham though!

A quick visit to Maine Road, the former home of Manchester City, before heading off to Oldham, 20/2/16.
