Wasn't sure about this one but thought it was Pine Villa and as the other answers seem to state this then i'll go with it too.

Oldham Athletic Association Football Club are an English football club based at Boundary Park, Furtherwood Road, in Oldham, Greater Manchester. They are currently playing in Coca-Cola League 1.
The club's nickname is "The Latics", a shortening of the word 'Athletic', a nickname shared by near neighbours Wigan Athletic. When the two teams meet, it is known as "The Latics' Derby", for obvious reasons.
Although their more traditional rivals such as Bolton Wanderers, Manchester City, Blackburn Rovers and Bury are no longer regular opponents, the Latics still engage in local rivalry with Yorkshire clubs Huddersfield Town and Bradford City, and to a lesser extent Lancashire rivals Blackpool.
The club's official mascot is Chaddy the Owl.
The club was formed in 1895 and originally known as Pine Villa F.C., changing the club name in 1899. Oldham joined the Football League in 1907/08 and were promoted to the top flight a couple of years later.
The current limited company was formed after some months in administration (near-bankruptcy) during 2003/4; the club's immediate future was secured on 3 February 2004, when a group of American-based ex-patriot British businessmen bought the club, forming a new company Oldham Athletic (2004) Association Football Club Ltd.

oldham were originally known as Pine Villa as they formed in 1895. They then change there name to oldham athletic in 1899.
Their 1st ground was called Sheepfoot Lane but they then changed to Hudson Park in 1900 and then they reterned to Sheepfoot lane again in 1906. Their ground changed to Boundary Park in 1907 and is so now.

When they first formed they were known as Newham I think. Once they had been going a few years they became Oldham.
