Great idea and brilliant that it'll be streamed again. Not sure it'll be as eventful as the last one though

I wonder how - if he was made aware - Dan Altman would react to the board being described as ‘nancy boys’. As TomRAFC pointed out on another thread, Dan is scaling back SmarterScout’s social media presence as he’s concentrating on the fight against all forms of discrimination, notably LGBTQ+.

I don’t have any social media but for those on LinkedIn, it may be worth contacting him and asking him whether these are the sorts of people he’d be willing to engage with?

Can’t help but feel Frances was being somewhat disingenuous when it came to the reasons for stopping goldbond 🤷🏻‍♂️

I missed the first 15 minutes or so where I assume Stockdale was asked about recruitment - what did he say?


He also said something along the lines of a striker we were hoping to bring in tested positive for Covid, so that's been delayed.

When I was your age, I used to enjoy the odd game of tennis. Or was it golf?

Cheers Tony. I know some people said they’ve messaged him previously on there and he’s not read the correspondence but if he gets enough message notifications, he’s surely going to have a read.

A good forum tonight, a no nonsense and straight manager who certainly has a plan and a board who are well organised, and definitely a sense of togetherness throughout, it would be a travesty if this was derailed by outsiders. If we can retain this current structure I’m sure we will see the benefits on and off the pitch, may take time but as it stands we look like we have a good base to take us forward.

She’s blocked every single person who’s come back to her being completely reasonable.

Very amusing. She should think before she posts. For a change.

After tonight’s forum, would it be a fair statement that many fans would already be at the stage where they wouldn’t attend games if the club was taken over by those discussed?

Yes. If Curran and Rose completed a takeover, I’d have nowt to do with the club until they were gone. Primarily because they sound like complete scum but also to hit them in the pocket. As RAFCBLUE says, no supporters, no income.

Biggie Smalls was lying when he claimed mo’ money, mo’ problems.

I think the drastic approach would be our best option if they did take control. Really hope it doesn't come to that.

I think we were treated to seeing a lot of true colours tonight:
Curran and Rose.
Bottomley and Rawlinson.
BBM and his embarrassing social media mouthpiece.
Defenders of the axeing of Goldbond.
The fight in the new board
The unbridled ambition of RS.
If we can just get rid of the limpets the future looks brighter than it has for some years where we sunk back into mediocrity at all levels.

Stockdale wanted to bring in his own assistant and now that he has there is no role for Riley. He said that he had an amicable discussion with Riley as Stockdale has been on the receiving end of similar news before.

Riley was probably expecting it.
Should never have had a senior role like that in the first place. Can’t see where bullying comes into it though?

Maybe she could hear supporters laughing in the background? I think it was more laughing at Stockdale saying he had heard the bad news about losing his job a few times or maybe when he mentioned that Chan has just been sacked so the timing of bringing him in was ideal.

Stockdale came across very respectfully regarding Riley especially as he has been in that situation before.

If BBM is well rid of the club why is she even watching the fans' forum anyway? It's like those people who watch TV programs just so they can be offended!

Without watching it again and from memory the biggest laugh seemed to come from the contrast in BBM's style (regressive) versus Robbie's (progressive)? They always say the truth hurts and valid criticism hurts most. We're well rid of the pair.

She wants a word with herself.

Stockdale came across very professional the way he dealt with the Riley q. I don’t recall any laughing on the table, and if there was, it was from the audience.

No doubt BBMs agent will be requesting a zoom call tomorrow for the distress caused for the “bullying”

You can’t have your cake and eat it love, maybe it’s time to move on from RAFC?

Just finished watching, and that's absolutely right

The main sources of humour came about through pointed questions about how RS intended to set the team up this season and what changes he'd be making

I hope she and her partner were offended, they deserve it for the shite football he put us through and the manner of his leaving

Not least because she claims not only to not know folk who sponsor the club but then asks them to stop trolling her when her error is exposed. NOT how to treat customers or sponsors.

What a difference.

It’s so refreshing listening to Stockdale and Gauge, the more I hear from them the more impressed I am. It’s early days but the style of football I’ve seen from Stockdale’s Dale in friendlies has been a big improvement. He’s equally impressive in front of the microphone, he answers with a knowledgable authority and stays clear of soundbites driven by some inane philosophy. Simon Gauge speaks well, with honesty, an obvious business intelligence and you can see the fan in him. I’m very pleased to have them at the club.

It’s the opposite of the likes of BBM and Bottomley.

I go into the season with hope and confidence we have the right people in charge. Let’s see off Curran and Rose and go from strength to strength.

It’s nice of Sarah-Jane to reappear and provide more entertainment. She be loco.

No coffin dodgers tonight with arms folded moaning about the hardness of pies and poor stewarding, etc. Few stalwarts looking grumpy and not clapping in appreciation at times (arms locked), but times are changing.

The fan forum appears to have got better. Rochdale AFC connecting its parts tonight being - fans, board, players, and business side. A nice refreshing change.

The change to the current board and Manager at the helm made it:

-More upbeat.
-The fans want to help the club and that help is appreciated.
-A feeling of unison.
-openness
-Professionalism, especially from Pockney, Stockdale, and Gauge.

Could have done with a few silly questions for comedy element though. I might attend next time.
