Hornets postponed game v Skolars now set for wednesday week. That means there will be games on Saturday, Sunday, Wednesday and Saturday. Lets hope the weather is kind….the pitch is looking good…it would be a shame for combination of bad weather and over use to undo the hard work thats gone into it. |  | | |  |

It’s worse than that. Isn’t the Bromley game on the Friday now? | | | |

Hornets game this Wednesday is now off. I don’t use the word “postponed” as I’ll be very surprised if It’s rescheduled given that London Skolars have told the RFL that they are “unable to fulfil the fixture”.
Presumably Hornets will eventually be given the match points but it reflects badly on the third tier of a professional sport. | | | |

So thats two home games they've lost this season. Season ticket holders will be unhappy. Rugby League is in financial turmoil | | | |

Speaking of forthcoming games - just perusing fixture list and we have a mind-boggling 7 games in the shorter month of September. Hope we can get a few more into the fold before or during this. It will be a tough test indeed. |  |

For anyone who’s interested the RFL have awarded the game to Hornets 48-0 and referred Skolars to its Compliance Unit.
Anyone with a ticket can use it for the preseason game versus Oldham at the start of 2024 or claim a refund. | | | |

There have only been 9 home games for Hornets in the 12 months following the heralded rebranding of rugby league under IMG.
It’s now cheaper to be a Dale ST holder and pay on the day for £10 than be a Hornets ST holder which has worked out at nearly double that cost in 2023 with no discounts for pensioners.
The RFL have completely undermined the competitions and the clubs and with no funding solutions it’s hard to see how rugby league will remain in existence. The three clubs finishing below Rochdale Hornets are all expansion teams all outside the North of England who don’t really have a long term future playing rugby league.
On the flip side, the pitch has not looked better, mainly because it is being used less than any time in history. |  |

Actually only 8 home games played. West Wales collapsed before the season started and now London pulled out of the game. | | | |

Aye, that’s what those are who will come up with grand plans and claims they’ve effected real change will revert to.
It’s best to show some humility in the first place. | |

Don't disagree with anything you say at all, but Andy Mazey voted for the changes. Bizarre that a club without its own ground to drive income, voted for a system that means there is no central funding and ultimately no promotion or relegation. And they argue its progress. | | | |

Oh dear. Final score today Cornwall 18 Hornets 12.
A fixture that Mayfield won in the challenge cup earlier this year.
Next season probably can’t come quick enough. | | | |

2023 has not been a year to remember for either football code in Rochdale.
2024 can only be better, can’t it? | | | |

Hornets financial accounts for last season (to November 2022) will be out later this week.
They’ll be published here and give and idea of their financial state as they started 2023 having offloaded all the high earners:

Sadly the future fortunes of both clubs are linked to their financial power and likely that 2024 will be another challenging year. | |

It’s a real shame so many mistakes have been made. As Dale have proven, when you make the most of what you’ve got with a consistent plan everyone understands and buys into, you can succeed in sport. | |

Certainly agree that Hill was the central reason but we also had a club with a direction everyone understood and bought into. Even then it wasn’t perfect and could have been better, enough has been discussed in the past about that, however we were a football club who knew what we were doing. | |

Hornets are a spent force in the town now. Mayfield have a better set up being run correctly by people from the town. |  | | |

Interesting to note Mayfield’s twitter appearing to be linking to Oldham as opposed to hornets.
I might be reading too much into this or even misunderstanding how twitter works ( yes I am a dinosaur on technology!) | | | |
