   Wouldnt it have been more appropriate for Oldham Athletic to complain through the appropriate channels before telling the newspapers & Granada Reports! They dont complain when droves of their fans use the hospitals parking facilities. Its high time they started making headlines on the pitch, rather than off it. For every complaint or bit of bad press, theres many lives saved and satisfied people that go un-reported

   yet another incidence of patient safety being put at risk, despite the fact that the club could well have private medical care, the fact remains that these two young men went to Royal Oldham/Pennine Trust for treatment and did'nt get the correct diagnosis - National Concern for Healthcare Infections campaigns for Patient Safety if you or a loved one have suffered then please contact us www.nc-hi.com

   Seeing that all frontline NHS staff are suffering because of cut backs by the PCT, it is inevitable that mistakes can happen. Maybe both Oldham coaches should go into medicine as they obviuolsly diagnosed the problem immediately! Doesn't the club already have private medical care, but instead put more pressure of the cash strapped NHS?
