Oldham Athletic are based in their namesake town, with a recorded foundation in 1895. Their earlier league honours include Second Division championships, with the later title in that record coming in 1990/91. A Third Division championship is also stored among their pre-Premier League honours. The archive's detailed league results start with 1992/93.
Boundary Park was home throughout Oldham's Premier League seasons in this archive. The opening campaign contained their widest recorded league victory, a 6–2 result against Wimbledon at home.
A spring unbeaten sequence ran from March into April, lasting 4 league matches. Later, a winning run in May covered their final matches of that campaign, reaching 3 successive victories. Those sequences belong to the same season rather than separate Premier League spells.
The completed campaign returned 49 points and ended with Oldham in 19th place. Their goal difference was negative, but the club remained in the division for the following season. The next campaign therefore continued an existing top-flight spell, rather than following a later promotion.
The following season contained a different sequence, with a winless run extending from August into October. That stretch reached 10 league matches, longer than either of the earlier unbeaten or winning sequences.
Oldham's points return fell, and the final goal difference became more negative than in the survival campaign. Their heaviest defeat in the archive also belongs to this season, a 0–5 loss away to Tottenham Hotspur.
Across the full Premier League spell, victories were more frequent at Boundary Park than away from home. Draws followed the same split, although away defeats outnumbered home losses. The final league table placed Oldham in the relegation positions, ending their Premier League coverage with that campaign. The relegation season returned 40 points, below the opening campaign's total. Their latest season here is 1993/94, when they finished 21st.
