How the mighty have fallen. bury fans getting themselves all worked up over potentially drawing us in the cup and celebrating a win over the mighty Radcliffe like they’ve won the whole thing.
How very quaint. |  | | |

It would be a great draw for Dale, in the fact it would be a decent crowd for this stage and you would be up against the lowest ranked team left in.
I dont fancy it as could see us getting hammered 6 or 7 which wouldnt be pleasant viewing, Radclife are a lower end conference north side without a win yet this season, unless they sign some quality improvements will probably go down. | | | |

To be fair mate we celebrated beating a team 3 divisions above us, like anyone would.
We've also now won as many FA Cup ties this season as we did in the entire 1990s, all of them away against higher division opposition, all except Garforth ones with extra subplots to it. It is legit for us to be happy about it.
Given half the potential opponents for the next round are professional teams, and we aren't, I'd be surprised if it went any further but we will enjoy it for what it was.
Would rather not draw Dale as I think it would draw out the obnoxious members of both fanbases (though quite a few of ours left and satisfyingly had to watch their new club vacate the FA Cup on Saturday - another reason why it was such fun), plus you would win handsomely, and wish you well with whoever you draw.
Hopefully we both get something winnable at home. | | | |

Aye, fair enough on your first point. I was hoping for Rob to be fair.
Totally agree that us drawing each other would bring out the bellends. Some of the usual suspects of ours elsewhere are hoping for it to happen and I doubt it’s because they fancy watching a good game.
I’m in two minds. I miss the days of meeting up with some of you lot pre match, especially when playing for your Dad’s trophy. On the other hand the boards will go into meltdown with bury crowd nonces (seen one post already today) trying to lord it over us whilst knobs from both sides will be drooling at the thought of gesturing from behind lines of police on the day.

Yeah, would have been a bellend fest had we have drawn each other. Someone just questioned whether it would have been on our site, can only assume they missed our play off final in May. And I'm sure you've got your fare share too, I can recall meeting a few down the years.
Your last para is basically spot on - there is a good atmosphere and a laugh to be had between those with a sense of perspective on both sides. But on the other hand you're right about tedious crowdt**ttery on our side and at the same time coming the other way I can live without chants glorifying Steve Dale or our expulsion from the league as if you didn't nearly go bust too earlier this year.
And football is just a nicer watch without the massed lines of Police tbh.
As it happens, I drove past the Cemetery for the first time in genuinely years a couple of weeks ago, as I was taking Mum to the cinema. She asked whether you still have the trophy. I had assumed it was lost to the mists of time, but thought I was worth asking. Told her I've no idea. Still think we are at least 5 years from competing for it again. | | | |

I’ll ask and get back to you. I’ve not been in the Cem for nearly a year now but I’m sure that’s where I last saw it. [Post edited 1 Oct 12:12]

Cheers, appreciate that. I took Mum to Gigg for the first time since 2019 the day after the drive round Rochdale and she was really pleased the flag is still there.
If they've binned it no worries I just won't tell her, but I know she would be chuffed to know he's still remembered by his Rochdale mates too. | | | |

did it not stay in the rose n crown? i went after my first game back last year would be over year ago now to find an empty boarded up pub it must have shut down during covid i doubled back to the staff of life!
got many great memories of your dad like the time we went to scunny away and we picked you up in Leeds you pointed out the terrorists house who had just done London, mansfield away on a friday night he picked me up outside the beehive in his new Jag we won 3-0 and bessies shaker shouting at me across the stand 'rob this is called an away game' the drive back was rapid no piss stops required!!
and off course the many times in the locals and Y3K i do miss him. [Post edited 1 Oct 21:26]

Hey Barry,
Your club was not around in the 90,s...
The AFC Phoenix has done very well but is still yet to make the 1st round proper for the very first time.

Legally you're right. Course you are. Same applies to Rangers, Chester, Macclesfield and a load of other clubs of course.
However, without getting into the technicalities of the IP that the FA granted post merger it begs a bit of "what is a football club?" - Ultimately I see many of the same people at Gigg now as before (even if very different opponents and players), and I sit in the same place to watch a team with the same name. | | | |

Thanks Rob, glad you still have fond memories of him. Nice knowing people valued him being around and still think about him - fook me that Scunthorpe game were cold. Do remember them winning it in the 120th minute and Flicker punching one of theirs for celebrating.
That Jag, which was the only mid life crisis other than the holidays they went on he really got to buy himself, was hilariously s***e. He drove Mum down to the south of France to his brother's place and the clutch went in the middle of nowhere. Across the language barrier the mechanic just manages to get across "the clutch broke because you don't drive properly". He loses his rag, which only happened about once a decade or so but was usually worth watching, at the mechanic. Mum texts us tells us not to bring it up, and they stopped at mine on the journey back up. Obviously first thing I say "I hear the Jag broke cos you can't drive". He gets in a mard about it again, gets back to Whitefield and my sister pops round "I hear the Jag broke cos you can't drive". Which I'll bet he never mentioned to any of his mates on here. He didn't half make life more fun. | | | |

Just a complete lack of humility.

The humility thing has been noted by me too. They’ve had an away draw in every qualifying FA cup round this season and each time a good number of them seem to think the home club should switch to Gigg because it’s a bigger stadium.
I’ve never, ever seen a Rochdale fan say that in any cup draw we’ve had. You can’t buy class. | | | |
