Yesterday, we lost another of our own. Peter Smith, aka Swiggy, was Dale through and through. He'll have been a very familiar face at matches and an even more familiar face in The Cem and other pubs of Rochdale! He was also an occasional poster on this forum.
He'll be sadly missed but fondly remembered by all that knew him. RIP Swiggy.
"Ten players remain under contract heading into the 2023/24 campaign and in addition, three options have been triggered. However, a number of players who remain under contract have been informed that they have been placed on the transfer list with immediate effect."
"Any player that remains in talks and eventually wishes to stay with the club next season would be expected to take a substantial drop in salary."
I hope it's at least three players on the transfer list.
I wouldn't have gone anywhere near a new contract for Kelly or Keohane, but we may get some value if they're on much lower wages.
Interesting that Red was one of the popular choices in the survey, I think the 'new (half)breed' of two teamers have had an influence on that.
I'm not a fan of the design for 1-3, but quite like the designs for 4-9. I'm leaning towards Yellow so its 5 or 8 for me, with a preference for 8 as its a nod to the glorious chevrons of the mid 90's.
I know the Yellow (and Blue) looks a bit Leeds, but I'd counter that and say the Orange (and Blue) looks Luton.
Good interview, very honest as always. I get the impression that we won’t be making many more permanent signings (hopefully wrong), but will have a few loan players coming in from Premier League clubs.
I think we’re still a couple of full backs/wing backs short (depending on formation), along with a few creative midfielders/attacking midfielders.
I think Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Sky Box Sets can now be classified as essentials. Even more sore when the inevitable decision is made to put the country into full lockdown. So, what are people's recommendations...
Sports Documentaries Comedy Action Easy Watching
I've started watching Chicago Fire in the 'Easy Watching' category. It's not exactly 'deep' but it's entertaining enough. That will spin off into Chicago PD no dount, so I'll have a fair stack of episodes to get through.
I'll be getting back into House of Cards and Designated Survivor.
Breaking Bad was superb; anybody who hasn't watched that should give it a go. I couldn't get into The Wire.
The ‘new’ board of directors have come in for an awful lot of criticism since taking charge, but they have to take some credit for making a huge decision which looks to have saved our League One status.
I did not agree with the sacking of Hilly, but hand on heart I could not foresee this turnaround had Hilly still been in charge. The sacking of Hilly, and appointment of BBM, has been nothing short of a master stroke.
I’m sure BBM has a lot to learn, he’s not even had a transfer window yet, but the players are playing for him and that gives us a platform heading into next season.
Well done to the board and a massive well done to BBM and his team.
In a word...awful. It looks horrendously cheap. The items with the Errea logo shading down the sleeves may have been OK if they didn't have ROCHDALE A.F.C. plastered across the back. I bet there are Junior teams out there that look more professional than this rubbish.
I really hope this isn't a sign of the quality to expect come the 30th June...
I'm absolutely gutted to post this, but I'm sad to inform you all that Mick 'Papa Chaff' Chaffey passed away last night.
I've written this out a hundred times, but I still can't do the man justice. Mick was the nicest bloke you could ever meet and Dale through and through. Up until recently Mick could be seen at pretty much every Dale game, with his son David (Chaff), and whatever rabble he'd driven to the game this week. Always comically grumpy, always something to moan about, but above anything else always a top top bloke who was great to have in your company.
Cliche central but he will be missed. Massively.
Chaff has asked me to post because so many on here knew Papa Chaff, in fact he's probably given half of us a lift to an away game at some point.
He's our ex-goalkeeping coach isn't he? Nowt wrong with a bit of Deep Heat on the nads to focus a young players mind. They should be thankful its not Olbas Oil or a tickle after he's been eating Salt & Pepper ribs! The world has gone soft.
