I know you're reading this. You cannot help yourselves as you are vain, conceited people who have a vastly over-inflated opinion of yourselves and your abilities.
You've taken on the fans of RAFC and have come off a distant 2nd. It's cost you time and money and has left you in disarray holding your heads in your hands.
Some advice for you. If you take someone or something on, know your enemy.
Do your research. None of you did because if you had you wouldn't have taken on Rochdalians.
You have no idea what a resolute bunch we are. How tight knit we can be. How brutal we can be in our prose and actions. We can be the friendliest folk in the country but we can also be bastards.
Cross us and you lose. You have united a sketchy fan base into one goal which is to repel you and your associates. It's a bit like a religious ideology really. We are us, you are them. You've no fooking chance, so fook off. And that includes you Mandy Southall. Tvvat.
The following is from part of The Trust's fantastic monthly newsletter.
"We were incredibly surprised and delighted to learn that in the share issue by the Club, a local individual who wishes to remain anonymous has purchased 26,800 shares in the Club and has put the shares in the name of the Trust. This is a 100% donation and comes with no terms or strings attached.
We are asking members not to speculate who may be responsible for this. The donor has been very clear in not wanting to be named, and we ask for those wishes to be respected."
The Trust now has around 125,000 shares equivalent to 14% of the club.
A fantastic gesture too from the Mr Ben E. Factor!
EDIT: If you're not a member, but consider yourself a fan, you really need to get aboard The Trust who provide a wonderful service for members. If you can't afford the fiver, PM me.
Right. I've slept on it, I've checked the horoscope, Mother's been rung, nails have been chewed and I still can't get away from the fury I feel when some fooking nobody keeps calling the ball a fooking football.
It's not a football. It's a fooking ball you ball ends.
It is with a heavy heart that I tell you Cloughie died this morning in Oldham hospital from a bowel condition. He'd already beaten off Corona virus!
This fella has done more for the club than anyone on here has done, or will do.
He started out with scratch cards and Goldbond in 1991 and over the next 15 or so years raised around £400,000 for the club. Plus he raised funds for the Trust selling thousands of calendars door to door in his beloved Littleborough.
The £50,000 he earned in commission he has left to the club in his will (and some!) so he raised all that money for free, as a volunteer.
RIP Rochdale's greatest ever fan. I'll miss you Cloughie.
