Really sad news. Maureen was one of the reasons this club survived through the 80s as she was a driving force behind the setting up of Junior Dale. Without her there would be plenty of kids who might not have turned up every week dragging their parents and friends to games too. A lot of those kids still go regularly today thanks to her hard work in getting them hooked in the first place.

Yes. RIP Maureen. One of those faces who has been a constant feature around the club ever since I was a wee lad.
Back in the day when I lived outside of Rochdale the only way to find out a night-time home score was to phone the club at 9.15pm and ask. Sometimes from a piss filled red kiosk with 2p to push into the slot on the beeps!
It was always Maureen who'd answer not realising if she was about to make, or ruin, a youngster's night! [Post edited 23 Dec 2016 10:44]

This is the type of event we SHOULD have a minute's silence for, someone who was a part of the club and so highly thought of by the community.
Thoughts go out to Maureen's family and loved ones, rest in peace. |  |

To echo the thoughts of 442 really as I was also a stalwart of Junior Dale back in the 80s and undoubtedly she was a driving force behind this. I must have spent endless hours in that room at the back of the old main stand down the years and it is thanks to the efforts of people like Maureen that I follow the club to this day.
Thanks Maureen for all your hard work and be assured that is being continued to this day as the likes of me and 442 now bring our kids to the matches in the way you took us to games all those years ago.
Please keep us posted on the funeral details as I can imagine there will be many who wish to attend. |  | | |

Would be great if someone has a picture so i could put a face to the name. Always saddens me to lose a Dale fan and sounds like this lady was one of the finest. RIP. | | | |

I can only echo all of the above. She was one of those people for whom nothing was ever too much trouble, no matter how busy she was.
My thoughts go out to her family and loved ones.

An unsung hero is Maureen....
I will always remember Maureen ringing us to ask if our daughter was available to do the matchday mascott in the early 90s..
Great women who had time for everybody....
RIP Maureen you will be sorely missed.... |  |

My condolences to Maureen's family, like many others my introduction to Dale was back in mid eighties with Maureen running Junior Dale, lovely lady who introduced so many young fans to the Dale.

I can only echo the other comments in this thread.
Those of us of a certain age grew up with Maureen always being around at Spotland and at away games; and I mean ALWAYS.
People like Maureen are the fabric of clubs like Dale. She nurtured many young supporters through their early days and kept encouraging us to come back, which wasn't easy in the early 1980s.
I imagine she has carried out a multitude of volunteer and 'helping out' roles at Spotland and matchdays in the office area will be missing one vital ingredient from now on.
RIP Maureen |  |
| When I was your age, I used to enjoy the odd game of tennis. Or was it golf? |
