RIP Dale Superfan on 15:12 - Sep 17 with 4092 views | BuckTheTrend | Had a lengthy chat with Michael Whittle (Mavis' companion of over 20 years) in the 1907 Lounge after the game yesterday. The better half and I had regular chats with the pair at away matches all over the country and she was indeed a lovely lady.

RIP Dale Superfan on 16:35 - Sep 17 with 3938 views | suffolkdale | A lovely lady - we often used to see her in the frozen outposts of East Anglia and the South East, after long journeys always bright and cheerful. It was lovely to see her enjoying the football, and the rare success, in the Keith Hill era. Sincere condolences to the family - we agree 'a true Dale legend' | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

RIP Mavis - my sympathy goes out to both Mavis's family and you Michael , Michael you've been a true friend and companion to Mavis you are both at the top of the all time Dale supporters list - Michael do you recall our chat at Wimbledon (just inside the turnstile) a few years ago when I introduced my young son to her and took photo's , my link is that Mavis supported Shawforth FC when she was a young women and that my Dad was one of her favourite players - god bless Mavis. | ![](/images/avatars/11219.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) | Login to get fewer ads
RIP Dale Superfan on 01:46 - Sep 18 with 3539 views | Sandyman | Condolences to Michael and Mavis' family and friends. Certain Dale fans of an older generation set the standard for loyalty to the club. Mavis was up there with David Clough, Brian Johnson and more. In her later years, in increasing frailty, she still battled on to get to games, home and away, and got there. A gentle, kind and very perceptive lady who loved RAFC dearly. She will be missed. | ![](/images/avatars/1453.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
