Our friends from Lower Gigg are tremendously excited that these two players are about to sign loan deals; though nothing formally confirmed yet.
Are we in for them too? Before casting aspersions on how our friends financially might be able to afford their wages, both are good players and look surplus to requirements at Sheffield where we have the connection of Matt Done.
Hanson would be a good target man option and Lavery is a great attacking option and a friend of Matty Lund and Callum Camps from their time with Northern Ireland.
Good options? |  |

I think other areas of the team and squad need more attention. |
But the reported loan offer before the end of the summer window would suggest that Hill wasn't happy with a keeper, and that was before our dreadful first half of the season. I agree that many other positions do need strengthening though. |  | | |

Hanson reported as signed on loan by the Bucketeers... |

I am on my way back to the Mother Country, hopefully will get to the Southend and Walsall games. (weather permitting).
Fingers crossed, but please let me see battling performances at least. Up the Dale! |  | | |

At least some clubs are giving themselves a fighting chance to avoid relegation. [Post edited 4 Jan 2018 18:51]

I'm curious D23y. You are always first to stick the boot in when things go wrong.
What experience do you have of:
Coaching in general
Coaching a professional football team
Managing a budget
Man management/motivation
Crisis/adversity management
Conflict resolution
I'm not being hostile - these are genuine questions. I'm sure your views would have more credence if backed by genuine skills and qualifications. Perhaps you could even volunteer your consultancy services? |  |

Didn't Keith say in his recent interview that if we did bring players in it would be towards the end of the transfer window? |
I'm not saying he didn't, but I can't recall him saying that anywhere. |  |

Without wanting to rack over the coals on the issue but seeing as you mentioned it. In regards to the season ticket promotion, what a f*ck up that was.
I'm going to stop posting for a while I'm far to negative to add anything constructive I'm realising that I'm sounding like a right miserable sod.I hope to be back in a better frame of mind at the end of Jan when we are mid table and 4th round of t'cup. [Post edited 3 Jan 2018 23:44]

What a fook up the season ticket promotion was ? Really?
Ive only just come on this group and every comment of yours is saying how bad everybody is and how sad you are.
Try getting first hand experience and attend the games and get your own views instead of just being a keyboard warrior. Go and speak to the board and the players and see how they really feel and get an incite in to the real Dale.

But in fairness kiwi is totally right about the total shambles that was the season ticket promotion. It was a total cock up and managed as well as the team have been this season.
It does worry me to a point that the lack of take up from the fans re the promotion will be blamed on the fans and not russ, and directors may give up on a lost cause. A.k. Going is a worry.
What will be will be. Can’t stop it but the board need to look at the commercial team before they give up. Everything this season has been managed appallingly. |  |

Everything has been managed appalling ??
Why don't you take time out to approach the club and see what is actually going on. They will welcome you with open arms and listen to your concerns.
Local businesses using our offices on a daily basis, NHS now using a large amount of space, lots of businesses have bought season tickets as well as community groups at our club which has never happened before. This has given us much needed extra income which has never been explored before.
The security and H&S has been totally transformed at the club which needed to be done.
Match day experience is being looked at and changed. We have already seen the new food deals and extra kids activities before the matches.
I agree that the team aren't playing well at the minute but saying that 'everything is being managed appallingly' is totally incorrect.
Message the club and have a sit down with Russ Green or one of the others, you will be glad you did. UPTHEDALE | | | |

It appears you've done RegJenkinsBoot's job (or jobby) for him
Yes, those are positive aspects and largely to be welcomed, although I can't help feeling they've got very little to do with the core business of the club - but thanks anyway, you obviously have the time and level of interest in the background workings of the club beyond the average fan, who probably just wants to enjoy watching football

For it to be outlandish, it's useful to know why
For instance, when 1907 posted that it was an 'outrage' if signings didn't start arriving immediately, I pointed out that 'outrage' belongs to the real world of war zones, not a third tier sports league
I was simply asking for a positive opinion to counter the negative one, but not to worry, another poster supplied it
I rest my case | |

You don't have to know why.
I considered the poster's remark to be "outlandish". That was, and is, my opinion.
Similarly, I am not remotely interested in your definition of "outrage".
I do not need, expect or desire your exhortation to provide a positive opinion. That again would be my opinion, prerogative and business.
I am glad you had a case to rest - that again is your opinion, prerogative and business. | | | |

I don't suppose you know where using the volume control on the new speaker system is on the "to do" list whilst we are on the subject of improving the matchday experience? Be nice to be able to have a coversation rather than a shouted exchange with the person stood/sat next to you. | |

Of course I don't have to know why - but let me put this to you...
We have posters who delight in negativity and rubbishing members of the Dale squad. When asked why, all they seem to manage to say - if they say anything - is that "it's their opinion"
(At least they don't say "it's their opinion, prerogative and business")
But my point is this - if you can't back up an opinion, it's not worth listening to
I rest my case, prerogative, opinion and business | |

Right - you really are an irksome little man and becoming very tedious to boot.
I merely tried to get an explanation of a posting from another board member but you had to stick your obnoxiously-aggressive and self-aggrandising hooter in (as is your habitual wont).
The opinion on which you unworthily presume to question me is about my choice of the word "outlandish" - how can I reasonably be expected to back this up ??
For a number of years I have kept my patience with your persistently irritating demeanour without rising to the bait of your keyboard warrior tactics but enough is enough. I will no longer permit your poisonous opinions and personality to impinge upon my enjoyment of this message board.
You are on "Ignore" henceforth and my life is enriched as a consequence.

Happy to.
We launch a scheme which in theory is great, the aims to attract more fans, even at a reduced price is a great idea. Encourage fans now and in the future, get bums on seats and increase revenue from programs, food, merchandise etc. So far all great.
We then spend weeks moving the goalposts, not advertising sufficiently or in some cases if my memory serves me right incorrectly, eventually settling at a price that tickets were sold at regardless of actual take up. It was over complicated from day 1. Ok it worked at Hartlepool but I believe their attendance is higher than outs now, 2 divisions below us, without russ green.
Ideas re how it could have been done better have been done to death but it did not work, and I guess our income from season ticket sales and attendance is down from last season.
I wish it had worked but it did not, it may be why we keep hearing no funds are available. Add the sweetmore thing, poor signings, poor performances, our best players going, selection and position issues. It’s not been good!
I wish things had worked but they have not and hopefully lessons will be learned, and next season will work and we remain in l1. Advice has been offered a plenty by many on here, including myself, and many have various skills the club could use to help and ideas that would work or worth trying. But as stated team rochdale seems to be as and when it suits.
For the record reg I have spoke to a director a bit back and was offered an interview for the commercial job, sadly I never took this up as the level of competence the reply to my c.v. Showed.
I hope things improve and it’s not a case of being negative for the sake of it. I just hope everyone gets their bloody fingers out!!! | |
