All we read on the forum is negative - we are Rochdale AFC never been a big club but always a club who try, we will never sign big names due to the finacial side of things plus we are a league 2 club like or not.
We have a great set up with a top squad that will work hard week in week out - and I will stick my neck on the line and say we will be in the top 7 come May.
It's only Thursday and already I am wishing my life away for Saturday ..... Now if you have the same feeling then you are a loyal supporter.
Get behind the boys and the Managment team and cheer on the mighty Dale. |  | | |  |

it is completely unfair to describe this forum as being negative. Have a look down the front page of the forum, and out of the 25 different threads, how many of them are actually negative?
What there is amongst the fanbase (for this forum is only ever a reflection of how the fanbase is feeling) is a feeling of distance between the supporter and the club, and many long term supporters are feeling this. There may be many reasons for this, and yes they are debated at length, but it can only be expected after a 15 month period which has seen us drop from our best ever position with a team packed with what we considered to be genuine heroes to a side that (in May 2012) seemed to be stealing a wage and going through the motions as we rightly finished bottom of the league. It is not the job of supporters to sit back and applaud this simply on the basis of being a supporter.
The rebuilding work has begun, but given the extent of that rebuilding, it's going to take a while before this new team feels like our team, and perhaps what we're lacking at the moment is a hero within the Dale side to replace the heroes of the past few years. There is genuine understanding and realism of the task that is ahead of us, and if you compare ourselves with a fellow relegated side like Chesterfield, there is an acceptance at Rochdale of the job that needs doing - that Barnsley cup game felt like Coleman's first game in charge.
But make no mistake, the fans are supportive, and the vast, vast majority will still be there on Saturday whether we are playing Barnet or Southampton. |  | | |

i've tried my best, but i have to admit i haven't got a clue what this means...
"but this weekend off will give me chance to plan and work out england under 21s v norway under 21s and the rest of the season then get prices down and prices down for example the club coach gets cancelled and all admission prices down for the season"

Can't believe Rochdale's 'SUPER' fan is choosinga virtually meaningless England U21's ahead of his own club. |
How is the final group qualifying game for Euro 2013 meaningless it shows your a wind up marchant in this very post. Been on the cards for along while i think you should pop down to chessie and experience a full stadium with a proper England atmosphere its amazing and singing God Save The Queen before it [Post edited 1 Jan 1970 1:00]

It's meaningless because its Under 21's and doesn't have much prestige in my eyes.
Also any team managed by Stuart Pearce is a joke. |  |

Time to kickstart the season. Barnet are bloody awful and I genuinely feel even we can stick a few goals past them!
Grimes & Adebola both to get off the mark and a nice comfortable win and things will really start to look up. Let's not forget that the 3 teams we've played so far are all tipped to be fighting at the top end of the table too.
Up the Dale! |  |
