of Boundary Park, which would involve the redevelopment of the Broadway Stand. Oldham Council confirmed planning approval for the new North Stand in April 2013, including a 2,671 capacity stand, a health and fitness suite, supporters' bar and event facilities. Demolition and preparatory work started in the summer of 2013. Construction of the new North Stand is still ongoing, although the seating area in the stand was open for use on 17 October 2015 for the home match against Sheffield United. The new North Stand is significantly taller than the stand that it replaced although the capacity for supporters is roughly the same. The additional height allows for office space, corporate hospitality, retail opportunities and a gymnasium. Following the club's relegation to non-league football, Oldham Athletic decided that the Joe Royle 'North' Stand at Boundary Park will be closed for the 2022-23 season, on cost and safety grounds.
