This is my fear.
I am in a similar situation to yourself with my mother electricblue.
She rang me yesterday to say she was on her last toilet roll and could I get her some as she couldn't find any in the shops she uses. ( She lives in Heywood and gets a taxi to Morrisons as she can't walk more much and is nearly 80)
I went to find her some and gave up and just gave her some of mine for now.
Due to totally selfish greedy people, people like my mum who shops on a need to buy basis can't get simple everyday products to live.
Some people need to be ashamed of themselves panic buying all the products just to gather dust in their garages of sheds etc...
They will be ok, but the elderly and people on low incomes ( who can only afford weekly shops and can't afford to bulk buy) are left to wipe their backsides on whatever they can find or the frightening thing may start to go without food.
On another note why buy all the toilet roll, my understanding was that diahorra is not an effect of the virus.
Anyway selfish greedy people, if this applies to you hang your head.

Match Thread: Dale vs Coventry
at 12:02 23 Feb 2020

The football being played under BBM is rubbish, it's boring, it's negative and it's frustrating.
We have in all areas of the squad decent and capable players of playing good football to win football matches.
The problem is the tactics, I am not a football purist, I go to football for entertainment, to have an enjoyable afternoon and if possible come away happy that we have won.
If we don't win but but have put in the effort then that's football, we don't have a divine right to win, but abit of effort and entertainment is what I go for.
The club can't expect the supporters to turn up every week to see a product that we are seeing at the moment, people are getting turned off by the negatively.
I haven't seen yesterday's stats, but how many shots did we have,(not many ) but I bet we had most precession again.
At one point yesterday we won a free kick in front of BBM right on the half way line.
equal distance to both goal lines, Luke took the kick.
Did we
A, put some of our players into the Coventry box and pump the ball in on the hope of creating a scoring chance?
Or
B, Pass the ball back to our own goalkeeper so we could then retreat on to our own 18 yard line and play it out to one of our defenders to keep precession?
Always B, to BBM precession is king and as our recent drubbing by Peterborough confirms precession doesn't win games, creating and converting chances into goals does!
When Steve Taylor won the golden boot many moons ago the players we had then where nowhere near the quality we have now, but we created chances in the 18 box and he converted them.
With the tactics we play now he would be lucky to have got into double figures in this team, which makes Henderson's goal tally all the more remarkable.
Will I renew my season ticket next year? Playing like this no chance, I might not even see the season out, it's that boring.
Before certain supporters then turn and say good riddance have a think about the supporters who like me attend for entertainment and the love of their home team Rochdale AFC, without supporters the club is nothing, what is the point of performing if there is no one to watch and what is the point of sponsorship if no one is there to see it.
I don't want much, just a team who tries to create chances and tries to win, then with it will come better entertainment and maybe more supporters.
Is that too much too ask?
