I know it was said tongue in cheek, and the Borough has it's problems (like most do) but I wish people wouldn't slag the town or the Borough off.
Rochdale has a lot going for it and there's worse Towns and Boroughs in the country. |  |

I'm pretty sure that we received 'Freedom Of The Borough' after we won promotion in 2010. |  | | |

But it's not the same club?! 1922 to 2013...
Feature in the RL magazine also
Like saying Rangers 'newco' is the same as 'oldco'. [Post edited 17 Jan 2014 23:40]

And they're not called Rochdale Hornets either. Just Hornets. No Rochdale.
As NC alludes, the old club cheated by going bust, shitting on everyone including on their own doorstep. But with some clever paperwork and a complicit governing body, they amazingly re-emerge with a new name but retain their ground and league status.
Job done. It stinks really. I'm glad they dropped Rochdale from their name. |  |

You could be forgiven for thinking otherwise when you see this:

I believe today's Ob is a good read *.

If you get "Freedom" for winning it would be logically to expect them to be locked up next year if they are relegated.
Would it not? |  | | |

The article on the rugby heritage room (or the rugby LEAGUE heritage room to be accurate) doesn't even say where it is!
Incidentally they have now introduced Rochdale into the club's name - but they were just Hornets RL for the first 2 years of their existence. Given there was considerable vitriol among some of their sparse set of fans about the town and council at the time one wonders whether they will do the right thing and decline the honour given they think little of the town and council. |  | | |

I'm glad you've said that in your first sentence as I thought I had missed something in the article. | |
