The site of possibly our most important ever goal? - if Dagnall hadn't scored in the last couple of minutes where would be now?

I quite liked their ground. It was in the middle of nowhere but it was tight and tidy. That Daggers goal too... I dare not think where we'd be without that.

I watched our play off semi final game in the away end, it was the only way I could get a ticket as I was working in Northampton ...impossible to keep quiet when both our goals went in - much to the annoyance of the locals!!

Good find. Enjoyed watching that if only to remind myself what a tvvat Omandi Lowe was.

Great game - although I think we should have been out of sight in the first half with some of those chances.

'scuse my poor memory. Why was the goal so important (we lost the play off overall)?

It wasn't the play off game when Daggers scored.

Two cracking goals for Dale that deserved to win any game and Simmo could have had a hat-trick. A very skillful player who scored some wonderful goals for Dale. The technique on his attempted over-the-shoulder volley from Jobson's chip was truly top-drawer stuff.

If only Kev had put one of those early chances away in the return leg, might have been a different story. I'd forgotten about Billy Turley's howler.

Nene Park wasn't the biggest ground and didn't have the history but it was an enviable set-up; excellent hospitality areas, training pitch and a separate hockey pitch as a I recall. Max Griggs pumped a lot of money into the club and they looked well set for good things.

But it all came undone and now they languish in non-league obscurity, along with Stockport, our other play-off victors whilst Dale have survived and prospered.

Funny old game.

My abiding memory from that away play off game was getting to the ground and finding our seats (which we'd queued up and bought in the 1st hour they went on sale) right low down near the corner flag! My dad ( a non season ticket holder at the time ) had to wait to get his tickets and found himself halfway up the stand right behind the goals. Great game though - from what we saw of it.

No, that was Leo Bertos, almost two years before Dagnall signed for us.

Was a fantastic set up down there. They had training facilities, and a load of 5-a-sides to bring in the local community. Only problem they didn't have a local community!

Think they had the Doc Marten factory (no reference to my doppelganger please!). Was the whole thing just set up to get planning permission for his factory? Looks like it was a lot of money spent on a club only to lose interest quickly.

Yep.

Never been there I don't think.
I did several grounds in the late 80s on the old club coach. Pretty sure I never got round to darlo.
Did the new (old) ground 3 times, including a 3-0 win on Boxing Day I think.
