England Coming to Tameside Stadium

This summer between 20th July and 2nd August, the FA will host the 2008 European Learning Disability Championship in the North West of England, with the final at Oldham Athletic’s Boundary Park.

The championship, in partnership with The Regard Partnership, kicks off in Greater Manchester on 20th July.

On Sunday 27th April at Curzon Ashton FC (1pm kick-off), England will take on reigning European champions Holland in a friendly international, and the following day, the club will host the Euro 2008 draw, to be made by a current England international and the FA's Sir Trevor Brooking.

England's squad contains a high number of semi-pro players and are captained by former Spurs trainee Ronnie Watson who recently had a day's training with Oldham Athletic's first team. Ronnie spent six years with the North London side, playing alongside Ledley King, Peter Crouch and Jonny Jackson.

Admission to England's friendly against Holland at Curzon Ashton FC is free.
