TBH if this was announced 3 weeks ago I would have seriously considered whether or not to renew my season ticket. Frankly a 3 year deal beggars belief.
I’m wondering if the person who negotiated that deal isn’t the same one who berated me for leaving on 80 mins at our last home game & not staying to applaud the team (who incidentally finished the season in their lowest position in living memory)…. |

Looks like Woking are in financial trouble as well, owner has put the club up for sale for £1 & has warned that they could be bust in 6 weeks. |

Not a shirt moment but I managed to hang my Dale beach towel on a fence outside the Kensington Oval in Bridgetown in front of a statue of Wes Hall & some chap called Sobers for a photo op to the utter bemusement of the local passers by. |

What process??
Mind you, after that if I had the bland tosser on speed dial I’d be tapping him up for next weeks lotto numbers… [Post edited 30 Jun 20:08]

They say a team is a reflection of their manager.
In this case insipid & bland as fook. Only Southgate could turn some of the best players in Europe into timid shadows of their club selves. Can’t believe the contrast in this game compared to Holland v Austria. |

Council refused to grant a 10 year lease to the club according to national league statement & other options put forward were not deemed as acceptable by the EFL. Fans shafted… no change there. [Post edited 21 Apr 14:00]

Like the sound of this, a sensible & well thought out statement IMO.
In terms of the proposed training facility I hope the new owners seriously consider TBA, it would be a task to clear up the mess but the size of plot is more than capable of accommodating a first class set up. If the site can be purchased for a reasonable price, we can get the council, MP & all potential stakeholders on board then a bid for Govt grant/levelling up cash must be worth a serious effort. |

Im afraid I’ve got a problem with both the league position & the style of football. It’s been a difficult watch this season, possibly as bad as I can remember for many years.
NcNultys obsession with pedestrian possession based football at all costs makes me wonder if he’s got an autographed copy of Peps pop up book of football tactics.
Im not wedded to any particular style of play but the bottom line is that if we don’t put a winning team on the pitch then all the off field initiatives in the world won’t make a blind bit of difference.
For that reason I think we need to go with a change of management & a change of ethos. Our priority must be to get back into the football league, not just sticking with a particular style of play in the hope that we can sell a young player on to a Prem / Championship side just because he’s been coached in a way that those clubs prefer.
Surely ability & natural talent will shine through regardless?
Let’s not forget that we are at the lowest point in the clubs history that any of us can remember… & for the posters on here who think that mere survival is enough “as long as we have a club to watch”, if you accept that then that’s what we could well end up with.
It’s not what I want & I believe we should aim for so much more than that. |

Would prefer next Tues myself, Thurs will be bang in the middle of Eid celebrations so taxis especially going back home for folk could be hard to come by. |

Initial thoughts are promising. A local guy who’s not looking to profit off the back of the club. Excellent news about the 30 day funding. More upbeat than I’ve been for a while after reading the statement.
Let’s see in 4-5 weeks. |

I think if you're going to develop a site like TBA then you have to go the whole hog, it’d be pointless developing half the site while leaving the rest, who would want to play sport right next to an abandoned contaminated asbestos factory? Wholly agree about cleaning it up though, it’s an eyesore & an embarrassment to the town.
I don’t think a stadium there is viable as access is very limited as it is but as a sports / fitness/ rehabilitation centre why not? You could easily fit 5-6 pitches on the site, throw in an athletics track & fitness suite with rehab centre / hydrotherapy pool (could be used in conjunction with the NHS)? & you might have a contender for levelling up cash. The more users the better, schools, dale & Hornets training, coaching sessions for kids in the holidays, Rochdale harriers, NHS physio & rehab sessions etc…
More end users means more potential funding, something a new MP could get his teeth into…?? |

I echo all the sentiments on here. George will be a huge loss both in terms of knowledge & commitment to the trust.
We urgently need a statement from the trust to clarify their position. |

Great result under the circumstances & one I certainly wasn’t expecting! Let’s take this into Tues & give us a home win lads, a positive performance will take our minds off all the other stuff at least for a while. |

Exactly. It’s anything but “commendable” by the club is it? One half arsed effort for the Fylde game & apart from that it’s squeeze yet more hard earned cash from the same fans… There appears to be either a complete lack of vision from the club or a paralysis in the decision making process. |
