Oldham Athletic supporters can expect a noticeably improved matchday experience when they return to Boundary Park for the new season.
The club has confirmed a series of stadium upgrades aimed at enhancing facilities both inside and outside the Joe Royle Stand.
Oldham bringing huge upgrades to fan experience at Boundary Park
The League Two side have revealed a range of improvements being made to Boundary Park ahead of the 2026/27 campaign as part of the club's continued investment in supporter facilities.
The work is centred around the Joe Royle Stand, where upgraded toilet facilities are being installed to improve comfort and accessibility for fans attending matches.
Latics supporters will also benefit from new outdoor food and beverage facilities designed to provide quicker and more convenient service on matchdays.
The first phase of those outdoor fan areas will be introduced from Oldham's pre-season friendly against Sheffield Wednesday on 1st August, with the facilities located next to FSW Bar 1895.

A temporary licence has been granted to allow supporters to enjoy food and drink outdoors, with the club hoping to extend those arrangements as the season progresses.
Oldham say the upgrades form part of a wider long-term commitment to developing Boundary Park and improving the overall supporter experience.
The club also thanked fans and the Oldham Athletic Supporters' Foundation for their continued feedback, saying supporter input has played an important role in shaping the improvements.
Further stadium developments are expected in the coming months as the redevelopment programme continues.

Not every stadium improvement has to involve a new stand or thousands of extra seats.
Better catering, improved facilities and more welcoming fan spaces can have just as much impact on the overall matchday experience.
Oldham's focus on supporter feedback is particularly encouraging, with these upgrades appearing to address the practical changes fans notice every time they visit Boundary Park.
