Thread | White kit
at 13:43 11 Sep 2024
I know many may disagree but I thought the white kit looked great under the lights last night and that our players were easier to pick out as a result, players looked bigger and the passing was excellent, did the white strip help? |

Thread | M62 closed at Rochdale
at 14:18 7 Sep 2024
Unbelievable traffic across Rochdale caused by the closure of the M62 in both directions at Rochdale from Friday night until Monday morning this weekend and next weekend... might be a smart move to set off very early for next Saturday's game.
I haven't seen any warnings about this closure, but traffic is backing up all over the Borough ..currently 20+ minutes from Bolton Road / Tesco to Sandbrook Park ...
Apparently its bridge works over the Motorway somewhere..... |

Didn't take them long to figure out we have another promising youngster did it ? No doubt we will end up with £20 quid and a length of drainpipe for the Main Stand....and it will be an excellent deal for him and us!

Andy Holt on "X " sounds frustrated with the FA , EFL and the Premiership... put simply, his business is propping up the football club and he is worried it may damage his business. He is keen to get a football regulator in place...

Thread | Easy fundraising, New Years Resolution
at 16:21 4 Jan 2024
We have 356 members and have now raised over £8k so,far.
At the moment, Just Eat is paying up to 13%... if you are booking holidays, changing your broadband / TV supplier, doing the weekly shop online, etc etc. sign up using the link below, send it to your friends and family, workmates etc.. Cheaper than buying shares or raffle tickets and the money soon adds up ....2000 users adding just 30p a week ( ie. A Just Eat order or a Tesco, Asda, Morrisons, Iceland, etc. delivery) would add over £30k a year into the Trusts coffers, over 10,000 more shares! Its free, easy and costs you nowt!... Do it now!

Thread | Buying more shares?
at 17:16 3 Jan 2024
Since the BoD is notoriously backwards at coming forwards in terms of actually attempting to sell shares in the club to mere supporters, is it time to nail our colours to the mast and declare our intentions to buy (or perhaps reasons for not buying other than the obvious lack of brass) some of the 50,000 shares recently made available?
Personally I suppose I am going to have to tell SWMBO (she who must be obeyed) that I intend to get another 100.. not a big dent in the total but at least a small effort....and perhaps making a difference when the bills have to be paid
Anyone else?

Thread | Moulden Assists... 5!
at 16:05 28 Dec 2023
Just hear the interview with Louie apparently he now has 5 assists...
This propelled me to Google.. and from the Liverpool website...
"Since the founding of the current English top flight in 1992, only eight goalkeepers have laid on three or more goals for their team-mates.
In the past 30 years, only three – Paul Robinson (five), Pepe Reina (four) and David Seaman (four) – have assisted more times than Alisson, who is level with Mark Crossley, Tim Howard, Jussi Jaaskelainen and Peter Schmeichel".
1. Paul Robinson – 5*
=2. Pepe Reina – 4
=2. David Seaman – 4
=3. Alisson – 3*
=3. Mark Crossley – 3
=3. Tim Howard – 3*
* denotes scoring a goal |

Thread | Electricity bill....
at 12:42 22 Nov 2023
Whilst waiting for KO last night, I wondered if the club might not be better off buying a generator.. As I am not an electrician, the complexities escape me but there are some fairly big diesel generators selling as new,for £10-15k . And as our main sponsor Crown Oil now sells " green diesel" might it be possible to lower our energy bill fairly substantially by bringing in a generator and running it with Green Diesel with Crown Oil's help? You would imagine the opportunities for Crown oil to promote their product would be useful and the reduction in bills at the club would be more than welcome and on-going.

I just thought I would bump this again.... Please remember to use easyfundraising every time you shop online. Over 7,000 brands will donate to us, including all the big names like eBay, John Lewis & Partners, Argos, ASOS, Expedia, M&S, Just Eat, Uswitch and many more! This means you can raise FREE donations for us no matter what you’re buying. If you haven’t signed up to support us yet, it’s easy and completely FREE. These donations really help us, so it would be great if you could take a moment to get started! You can find our easyfundraising page here: https://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/causes/daletrust/?
Check out your online retailers here
https://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/retailers/
I know there must be dozens using Just Eat and not bothering to claim a donation.. Its stupidly easy and it adds up , 15p here 50p there and much bigger amounts if you are switching your Broadband or TV or going on holidays ... Every little helps! Especially if you get a Tesco delivery!
Use it 5 times and they give an extra £2 to the Trust.. its money for very little effort.
There are 1000 Trust members and only 347 registered for this easy fundraising idea. £1 a month each would raise £12k a year I only use it for my groceries but I raised £25 in a year easily £12,000 is 5000 shares a year! |

Thread | NFR The Royal Mail
at 12:03 9 Jun 2023
I have just sent this to the CEO and the Complaints Dept. Is anyone else having problems?
Dear Sir/ Madam
On Monday a white van stopped outside my home, a man in a Hi-Viz got out and dropped a parcel in front of my garage in plain view of the road, jumped back into his van and drove off
I was expecting a 1m Spirit Level, inside the small box he left was a silver trinket box!
It was addressed to a house half a mile away.
I decided to deliver the parcel myself.
On arriving at the address, there was no one home so I left a message on their digital doorbell.
The parcel I was expecting to be delivered was marked as “delivered” on your tracking system.
I tried to call you but apparently no one works on Monday afternoons...
On Tuesday the correct owners of the trinket box turned up and collected their parcel with grateful thanks.
The next day, Wednesday, a neighbour contacted me. A woman about half a mile away in the opposite direction had received a parcel meant for me and had posted a request on Facebook for anyone who knew me to get in touch as she was disabled and couldn’t deliver it herself.
I went round and found my Spirit Level at her house , it had been shoved through her letter box! She had not been expecting a parcel!
So now after a game of “pass the parcel”, and thanks to the honesty of the people involved everyone had the parcel they were expecting.
Today, Friday, I get a call from The Royal Mail, unfortunately I didn’t get to the phone on time and it went to answer phone and switched off, I rang back and found myself in a Byzantine Labyrinth of button pressing and questions, none of which I could answer as you rang me!
If this is an example of how the Royal Mail treats is customers and their parcels, it is a very poor one, Fortunately for you, honesty and ingenuity has overcome your ineptness and and frankly appalling, delivery system. Do you actually employ people who can’t read? It seems like it!
My previous experience of a Royal Mail delivery involved some live plants, well, they were alive when they left the Nursery, they arrived 12 days later, having been delivered to the wrong address and eventually that person walked up the street with them.
I note you charged the sender of the parcel you dropped outside my Garage nearly £5 to have the parcel “signed for”
Clearly if you are charging for this service and just dropping parcels off in front of peoples houses in plain view, you are participating in a fraud. What is to stop someone simply following your vans and picking up the parcels?
Frankly, I don’t expect to hear your apologies or explanations for this embarrassing episode. But I shall be posting this letter on my social media channels far and wide, and as you should know, a dissatisfied customer will tell everyone about their poor service. I understand the The Royal Mail is close to going bust, perhaps you will remember this incident when you are in the queue at the job centre? Its all a bit shit isn’t it? |

Thread | Median incomes for Towns in the NL next season
at 19:27 7 Jun 2023
I looked up the 2022 figures for Median gross weekly earnings for full-time employees in all the towns whose clubs we will be playing against in the coming season
It doesn't look as if anything got easier:
The figures are from ONS ASHE 2022
https://www.ons.gov.uk/employmentandlabourmarket/peopleinwork/earningsandworking
It sort of explains the prices some clubs are able to charge based on the greater amounts of disposable income in the South of the country.
Solihull £776
Woking £767
Maidenhead £735
Borehamwood £728
Oxford £718
Bromley £717
Fylde £697
Dorking £687
Wealdstone £661
Eastleigh £660
Northfleet £652
Aldershot £649
Barnet £626
York £622
Altrincham £621
Dagenham £616
Hartlepool £612
Southend-on-Sea £601
