Reply | Rare Rochdale shirt owned by Danny Bergara

I've been avoiding commenting on here, because I wasn't looking to get drawn into an argument with Rochdale fans and didn't feel it was in the right spirit. I welcome the opportunity to allow the County Supporters Co-operative to post on a Rochdale message board and thought these rare Rochdale shirts would be of real interest to you, but I do feel that I need to address some of the comments on here which are completely inaccurate and misrepresentative.
The Stockport County Supporters Co-op listed a Rochdale (All In One) away shirt 1988 - 89 season, with a reserve price of £50 for a period of 10 days.
There was a series of early bids and the price rose to £220. A day or two later there was another bid, for £225. I then received a message a few days later explaining that the bidder had lost her job and no longer felt she could continue, so I agreed to withdraw her bid. eBay then lowered the price of the shirt back to £220 to reflect the next highest bid.
I then wrote to another bidder, which I believe to be rochedale and you chose to withdraw, which is your right. As soon as your bid is withdrawn eBay dropped the price to the next highest bidder.
The price then remained around £220 right up until the last minute of the auction, where there was a short bidding war, taking the winning price to £256.
Rochedale made this comment - "The guy who cancelled his winning bid for the away shirt made 7 bids including winning bid. Looks like bidding up to me."
There were 8 bids on 9th December from the same bidder. This is because another bidder had placed a bid of £170.
eBay doesn't post the high bid of £170, the system automatically keeps the high bidder in the lead, until they are outbid. The pattern was £52, £55, £61, £73, £85, £101, £113, £150, until the second bidder took the lead with a bid of £175.
The only people to bid on these shirts are Rochdale fans, which I can tell from most of the user names. Any suggestion that we have looked to inflate the prices artificially is completely incorrect and unfair.
We are a Supporters Co-operative and we are certainly not looking to rip off fans from another club. |

No bids were cancelled for the home white shirt, but two bids were for the yellow away shirt.
The yellow away shirt from the 1988 - 89 season was won for a bid of £256. |

The white Rochdale (All In One) home shirt 1987 - 88 season is now up to £154 and the yellow Rochdale (All In One) away shirt 1988 - 89 season is on £225!
Will be interesting to see the final prices, many thanks for your support.
The Stockport County Supporters Co-operative are also auctioning the yellow flecked away shirt that Danny wore, when leading County out at Wembley vs Peterborough. That shirt is now on £500!
Definitely a strong interest from fans of both clubs and any shirts pre-90's / early 90's tend to be very much sought after. |

New Dale home shirt from the 1987 - 88 season has been added.

Rochdale (All In One) home shirt 1987 - 88 season. This is a rare Rochdale home shirt from the 1987 - 88 season, which has kindly been donated by the Bergara family to the Stockport County Supporter's Co-operative. The long sleeved shirt was owned by Danny Bergara, who managed Rochdale for seven months from August 1988 to March 1989. Manufactured by Umbro, sponsored by All In One Garden Centre, with the number 5 on the back in felt. This shirt is a large size. The condition is good, but some of the stitching at the bottom of the shirt has come loose and there is slight damage / wear on one of the sleeves (see photo). We would welcome bids for this special shirt. |
