January Transfer Window on 10:22 - Jan 9 with 7160 views | Dalenet | I would imagine that the £500k quoted includes the cost of using Stalybridge for the Youth Team games and any venues used for the academy. Having a single multi-use venue in the borough has to be the right way forward. Can we not invest in somebody to work on grant applications to try and achieve a successful outcome for the wider community? | | | |
January Transfer Window on 12:34 - Jan 9 with 6837 views | 49thseason | Most grants are only available to not for profit companies and organisations. The FA has money for pitches etc but I dont think they will give it to a professional club. The EFL had £200m available as interest free loans but only offered it to the Championship for covid recovery. Who knows how much has been borrowed and how much may be still available? Potentially RMBC have money that could be used to provide a mortgage and would have to be involved from a planning permission perspective if a new site has been identified, so an investor might only need to guarantee such a loan and not actually find the £5 million or more required. | | | |
January Transfer Window on 14:12 - Jan 9 with 6549 views | Dalenet | Thats why you need people that know what they are doing. Burton Albion train on facilities that cost £6m. Half was paid for by the National Lottery and the rest by other football grants. If we can galvanise bids to show that the facility is a 7 day a week community hub, with training facilities beyond just RAFC, a hub for the Community Trust etc etc there is money to be had. It needs a lot of effort and bid writing of course | | | |

January Transfer Window on 15:47 - Jan 9 with 6288 views | electricblue | I take it that the £5m is not just for development but also to purchase the land... | |

January Transfer Window on 15:53 - Jan 10 with 5331 views | Drigdale | Have to say that I am getting a little concerned at the lack of transfer activity. It is almost 10 days since the window re opened and tonight we are playing our 3rd game since then. To date we have released 3 players and only extended the short term contract of Danny Lloyd. Other clubs at the foot of the table have been doing a tad more business. Are players reluctant to sign for us or is the really no money available? | | | |
January Transfer Window on 17:17 - Jan 10 with 5128 views | NorthernDale | I have agree, I thought we would have brought in a couple of people by know, but there is not a sniff of any incoming players. | | | |

January Transfer Window on 15:32 - Jan 11 with 4511 views | samueloneils | I think this may be the most important transfer window in Dale history, Sure we need changes but they must be right, No repetition of the Campbell Sharman and Ball disaster a year ago. Give him time. | | | |
January Transfer Window on 16:20 - Jan 11 with 4350 views | DaleiLama | Indeed. Quality not quantity. The obverse got us into this mess. | |

January Transfer Window on 14:54 - Jan 12 with 3678 views | Drigdale | Still no sign of any incoming players. With Slicker returning to Man City we have now released 4 players and signed none during the transfer window. Hope we do not leave all our business until the end of Jan. | | | |

January Transfer Window on 15:15 - Jan 12 with 3609 views | D_Alien | It's obviously a deliberate ploy by the club so they can enjoy watching fans having an attack of the vapours | |

January Transfer Window on 15:48 - Jan 12 with 3465 views | DaleiLama | There's a very real risk of some turning Japanese if we don't have an incoming by Saturday? | |

January Transfer Window on 16:30 - Jan 12 with 3318 views | D_Alien | Preferably at half time, on the pitch | |

January Transfer Window on 17:02 - Jan 12 with 3177 views | eitoof | Jake Eastwood returns to us on loan. | | | |
January Transfer Window on 17:24 - Jan 12 with 3026 views | NorthernDale | I think we need players to fill other positions, rather then a goalkeeper. | | | |
January Transfer Window on 17:38 - Jan 12 with 2887 views | 49thseason | Eastwood is 26 and has only started 34 games, he really needs game time but I cant see him replacing O'Donnell unless he has picked up an injury. If he played a full season here, he could do a good job and put himself in the shop window like Sanchez did but I guess that depends where he is in the queue at Sheffield, really he should be number 2 , but if he isnt as suggested by them loaning him out, he needs to move on . | | | |
January Transfer Window on 17:45 - Jan 12 with 2829 views | fourfourtwo | We desperately needed a number 2; 1 in case something happens to O’Donnell and 2 to apply some pressure to O’Donnell. It’s irrelevant in what order we make signings. A back up keeper was one of the positions which needed filling though. | | | |
January Transfer Window on 18:17 - Jan 12 with 2667 views | Mass_Debater | We know and I'd guess EBJ does too. | | | |
January Transfer Window on 18:59 - Jan 12 with 2486 views | jonahwhereru | See this as a replacement for Slicker. The keeper position is different to others in that a club can seek an emergency loan outside of the window. Although in EBJ I trust I do hope this signing is a very cheap option, as I would not like to think that this has dented the budget for outfield players. I suppose there is a chance Kelly could go out on loan. On a positive if Eastwood can dislodge RD I would be well pleased as I Still think RD is one of the best in the division. | | | |
January Transfer Window on 20:17 - Jan 12 with 2158 views | Brierls | Connor Malley has signed for Dundalk. | | | |
January Transfer Window on 20:22 - Jan 12 with 2136 views | Brierls | Wasn't expecting a keeper, I thought we'd stick it out with ROD and get an emergency loan if he got injured. That said, Eastwood looked solid in the couple of games he played, and he'll genuinely push an out of form ROD for the no1 spot. We cant' grumble at that. | | | |
