Oldham Athletic have confirmed a supporter who was treated in the stands after a medical emergency during Saturday's goalless League Two draw with local rivals Rochdale was admitted to hospital in a "stablised condition".
There was a delay of 23 minutes following the emergency early in the first half, meaning a punctuated start to John Sheridan's sixth spell in charge of the Latics in front of a bumper 8,000-plus crowd.

That attendance watched the start of Sheridan's fourth permanent stint at the helm but his side are now winless in nine league matches dating back to November.
Following the hold-up, it was Oldham who eventually created the first chance. Sam Hart saw a fizzing effort blocked following a neat pass from Alex Hunt.
At the other end Max Clark drilled over from a tight angle as he met George Broadbent's through ball. Aside from that there was little goalmouth action in a wind-affected first period.
Soon after the restart Clark almost struck when he just failed to convert Corey O'Keeffe's cross at the far post.
Alex Newby then leapt highest to meet Clark's cross, but he glanced a header wide.
The hosts struggled to make inroads towards the latter stages and Rochdale's Conor Grant blazed over when he ought to have done better.
Dylan Bahamboula headed off target late on but it proved a disappointing day for Oldham.
