What was your first ever Rochdale game? 18:16 - Nov 28 with 11115 viewsmeeee

I'm fed up of reading about that dreadful display last night so I was wondering what was the first dale game you ever attended?
Mine was the 8th of November 2003 against Bury in the FA Cup, we came out as 2-1 winners with Leo Bertos scoring the first and Super Kevin Townsend bagging the crucial second

I've only been to Spotland twice,first time we won 0-3 with Glynn Hurst scoring a hat trick and then Notts scoring in the 95th minute to draw 2-2,I seem to remember that there was some of your lads waiting outside the ground to discuss it with us afterwards

Poll: Do you now think that Notts have suffered enough since Munto?

At home to Leeds United - 1977 League Cup 2nd round. Lost 3-0 and it only took 37 years to
get revenge but it was certainly worth the wait!

It was crap but I couldn't wait to go back against Aldershot the following Saturday.

Dale 1 Barnsley 1 in the 1966/7 season, I think:-the World Cup that summer had got me into football, so I pestered my Dad to take me to a game.

Some fighting outside the ground after the game I recall.

It was 1988 and I’m sure it was a win against Exeter. I seem to remember my dad saying we’d played a load of games against Burnley prior to it.

We won the next few home games I attended after that, too. Little did I know what was in store after that.

New Years Day 1992, was a 1-1 draw, always thought it was Darlington we played but having looked it up, it wasn't, it was Walsall.

No memories of it whatsoever.

Dale v Wrexham early i the 85/86 season, Steve Taylor's golden season. Frank Gamble for the winner after some shenanigans with the Wrexham keeper, causing their manager to run onto the pitch to protest.
Dale went top of Div 4 that day and I was hooked.

TVOS will correct me but if I'm guessing:
Redfern, Johnson, Grant, McMahon, Cooke, Hicks, Thompson, Taylor, Moore, Seasman, Gamble.

I have.

We were 1-0 down, then missed a penalty five minutes from time. Fortunately, the referee ordered a re-take and Flounders scored this time.

Since you've asked...

We went tenth after that game! We had been top on 7th September after beating Peterborough 2-1, but had slipped to mid-table by the end of October.

It was one of the most bizarre games ever. Gamble's winner shouldn't have been allowed as he punched the ball out of the keeper's hands, but refs weren't cheats against Dale in those days like they are now.

The winner caused Wrexham's manager to kick over our trainer's bucket (a bit like Mourinho last night), but in his defence he returned with a new one the following season.

Steve Taylor scored two penalties; one went through a hole in the net and was initially disallowed, before said hole was pointed out.

Wrexham also scored a penalty and their second was an own goal by Paul Heaton!

Dale were 1-0 up, 2-1 down and then 3-2 up. Gamble's winner came in the 72nd minute.

10/11 for your team. Paul Heaton played instead of Ian Johnson. Barry Diamond also came on as sub for Thommo.

Thanks TVOS.
More evidence of failing mems by mixing up games again.
I remember racing home in time for Des Lynam to comment on a little club like Dale being top, so my first was obviously Peterborough, but my first memorable one was Wrexham for the reasons you mentioned.

Happy with 10/11. Odd that I would be unable to do that for any game this season...

Gamble scored twice against Posh, but his keeper shenanigans were v Wrexham.

First 2 games for me were Bradford Park Ave, 1969 Home. 6-0. and Bradford City Home 6-0.
Average goals for and against has changed a bit since then.
