Favourite sporting sides 17:29 - May 25 with 5561 views | 442Dale | A few on here talk of their support for other teams in football and other sports, so from an idea shamelessly nicked over on a Hill-loving forum.... Rules: you don't have to support a team properly, just want them to do well. Add more if you want, but at least we'll finally establish who else supports someone as much as Chaff loves United.

Favourite sporting sides on 08:56 - May 26 with 3649 views | R17ALE | What's curious about this thread amongst supporters of a small, lowly ranked Northern football club is the complete absence of any mention of the small, lowly ranked Northern rugby league club from the same town. You'd think our dna would make us want Rochdale teams to do well. I think they're called Hornets. Or it might be Rochdale Hornets. Or Castleton Gabriels. Or Mayfield. I don't even know when their season starts, nor am I bothered. Bring on the friendlies! kids v bury away! | |

My mention of Hornets up until the early 90s was a sincere one. Used to go most weeks when they were doing really well about a year or so after moving to Spotland. In fact what put me off was when they reached the Super League, or whatever it was back then, and they clearly thought they'd made it. Their crowds were crazy for a while, bigger than Dale's and about 8-9000 when they played Oldham. Rugby was starting to get more exposure nationally and I got bored of it, the regime at Hornets gave no indication that they'd be a club worth supporting if their success continued. Which of course it didn't, and when they became rubbish again it looks like many like me weren't ever going to go back. | |

It is amazing that as sports fans, a huge percentage of us have no interest in what is probably the country's 3rd sport behind football and cricket. I'm against all forms of rugby, I even change channels should it ever invade anything I'm watching or listening to. There's one lad who watches Dale who always wears a Hornets coat. Has he never heard the phrase "as welcome as a pork pie in a mosque"? | |
