Ah yes, of course
Our next game is at Leamington on Sat 7 December (FA Trophy)
Then, Dag & Red away on the 14th
The squad will be well-rested

Over those last six games:
LWLWLW
Consistently inconsistent, but chance to break that pattern at home to Tamworth on Saturday
Could do with Forest Green beating Halifax tonight (or at least a draw) to reinforce our top six place, then another win would set us up for the winter with that place ours to let go |

Also noted that in the article on Dale published in the 'i' paper, SG was described as "the long-standing" chairman. He's been here two minutes, in relative terms and it's clear there's a gaping chasm between him and the majority of shareholders
He should be basking in the glory of having kept the club afloat before the arrival of the Ogdens, but that's not how he'll be remembered
Tbh, i've barely glanced at the AGM email. He's now the main stumbling block between the club acheiving the vision the Ogdens have outlined, as a community-focused going concern and having full alignment with the fanbase, whether shareholders or not [Post edited 26 Nov 8:07]

Yes, a proper thrashing on their home turf
We have a 3-test series starting in NZ on Thursday, and i reckon Ben Stokes will be keen to regain some of the gloss that's been wiped off recently
New no.3 in Jacob Bethell with Pope taking the keeping gloves on a temporary basis (Smith unavailable) but i hope Bethell does enough to make that spot his own |

Cameron Ogden not having much luck
After inviting dozens of business contacts to last Saturday's fixture and non-performance, today he'd arranged something similar for the Oldham game, including members of the extended family. I hope they enjoy the get-together, nonetheless |

Of course the game will be "on or off", but as with James, some fans have to make early decisions which could prove very costly should a late postponement occur. It's likely to be touch and go on Saturday morning - we all know that, but communication doesn't cost the club a penny
It's remiss of the club not to give some indication of the efforts being undertaken, upon which individual fans having to travel from afar can then make a more considered judgement. Unless, of course, the club couldn't give a flying eff about that...

In the event of the game being called off between 10am (after opening) and 12 noon, will the bar remain open? [Post edited 21 Nov 11:02]

Include in that list, Phil "The Donkey" Ashworth, possibly the most hopeless "striker" ever to don a Dale shirt - or may have been the year after too; i've been trying to forget for nearly half a century! [Post edited 17 Nov 13:45]

At last... these issues are being properly discussed
There's been plenty of hints before, and i've already said what i think of those who trot out the "don't rock the boat" line - they're part of the problem, in that nothing will change unless there's healthy and open debate (it's a bit like the recent US election, and look what happens when you try to shut down debate...)
CO and family have plenty of other business concerns, and i suspect they're only just beginning to realise the full extent of what they've taken on; giving the SG-led board scope with the day-to-day stuff without having insight (initially) on the lack of fan engagement which - as said - is absolutely key to the growth of the club as they envisage it. So this is where the football comes in. JM will not grow the crowds unless he turns around the lack of consistency, which any team aspiring to promotion has to do. Yes, first year of a three year plan - which is in place with or without him
if realism is now taking hold, thank goodness. Dark clouds and all that... |
