Oldham drop out of Football League after 115 years amid fierce protests

Oldham have been relegated from League Two after a 2-1 home defeat by Salford ended their 115-year stay in the Football League.

The result was confirmed only after a pitch invasion at Boundary Park from hundreds of furious fans who held a banner that read “Get out of our club”, aimed at the owner, Abdallah Lemsagam.

Supporters refused to leave the pitch, leading to the match initially being abandoned before the final 12 minutes were played out behind closed doors.

The Latics are the first team to have played in the Premier League to be relegated from League Two, and will play in the National League next season.
