Good evening.
I'd like to have everyone's opinion on an idea myself and a fellow Dale fan came up with.
I don't post on here often but you may or may not know me better as "Jonny Vimto" on twitter.
If you post often on twitter you will be well aware of the loveable Spanishdale, who's dream it is to come and watch the mighty Dale one day.
I asked him casually on twitter about it the other day offering him full board at my gaff if he could enquire about the flights.
He gracefully turned my offer down, I think he was a little embarrassed or maybe cannot afford the flights (total guess btw)
I got chatting to Darren Roy or @Dazzler36 on twitter (Sorry Darren don't know your UN on here) and we thought it would be a lovely gesture if a few of us could put our hand in our pocket and try and get the lad over here.
Darren has got the bare bones of a GoFundMe page ready to go but just wanted to gauge everyone's
opinion on here first.
If it did get off the ground then it would be lovely for the lad to have a weekend watching the Dale and maybe meet the players and have a tour of the ground etc.
Just a quick ball park figure, Sept flights to Manchester and back are £100.
Anyway, your thoughts please.
Up the Dale.

Excellent effort this.... just waiting for Roccy to set up a crowdfunding page for a reciprocal trip back to Spain, he was walking around Littleborough today in a Barca shirt!!😀 |
Probably looking for somewhere to park! |  |

Is he any good at quizzing?  |
Can't be any worse than me! | | | |

Given the funds that have been raised, is it worth seeing if he wants to bring a friend with him? Might be a touch intimidating for a young lad to travel hundreds of miles on his own on the basis of a few people on the internet. |  | | |

Thought that myself Col so put that to him. He seems happy to come by himself.
The WhatsApp group I've created isn't exclusive. If anyone wants adding just get in touch with your number and I'll add you. I've given him instruction of how to log on here and contribute and hopefully he'll get round to doing that.
An alternative to using the money wisely could even be for him to come over twice! | | | |

Thanks to a donated season ticket from Rosun, the Trust will sort out his match ticket to the home game he chooses to attend. | | | |

Are you allowed to access the live feeds from outside the UK? It's a great idea if you can. |  | | |

You can!! So yes great idea. I think the only exceptions are if a match is shown on a TV channel. | |

PD. Your last post reeks of someone desperately trying to claw back the respectability you sort of had.
You've blown your cover with recent antics on other threads however. You are a tvvat of the highest order. Sandy Drum has put it very well all day. Call me what you like. I really don't give a fook what an attention seeking, failed, middle-aged bucket calls me on a Dale forum. Slag of my Mum if you want. Or do a joke about IS, like one of your lot did when IS lopped off Ken Bigley's head in 2004. I've been around here a lot longer than you.
Glad you've been logged on here all day. Some of us drop by on occasion just to put the world to right. And I've put you to right. Bog off dickhead. |  |

Dear Dale Fans:
I wanted to write a letter to say thank you to all of you because I can’t respond all coments I’ve seen in the first post when Jonny asked If somebody wanted to be part and in the second when in RochdaleAFC.com talks about me.
Firstly I wanna say THANK YOU for all comments like “We love you here” “I’m in” “Let’s do it”, Sorry If I’m late writing something but I’ve felt surpassed with this, It’s true I wanted to go to Rochdale but I was thinking about get a job, take money and go there, not about this, this is massive!!
I can’t even explain my feelings now, this is incredible how you all have worked together to do this, I feel so grateful for everything, I read many comments where you all say “I can’t wait to get you over here” and I feel the same, this is so special because I’ve never thought that this could happen.
I have to admit it, these days I’ve thought if I deserved this, that why I wanna say THANK YOU. You all are the best, thank you for this opportunity. I can’t wait to scream with you all at spotland

I hope you replied to him Col, in a schoolmasterly way, to tell him it's called the Crown Oil Arena these days. These bloody "Europeans", can't be arsed getting our ground's name right! What's going on?
