People to thank in 2021 18:40 - Dec 31 with 2015 views | wozzrafc | Well I can’t remember a year like it! It’s well documented on here and I won’t go over it all again but I’d just like to put out a few thank you’s, this list is not exhaustive and I am sure there will be a few I miss but: To Col and the Trust, without your leadership and drive I don’t think we would have survived. Firstly the removal of botters and the subsequent take over battle. When we set the trust up way back we stated that it was for exactly this scenario. Did we really believe? No But thankfully you were ready. To Richard and Francis for you management of the clough estate. You have truly left him a legacy that is fitting. He would have approved and had been proud. Andrew Kelly you decision not to sell ultimately gave it a lifeline. RAFCBLUE, Upthedalenotfor sale for yor tireless investigation and fronting the social media fight, you were well supported by the members of this board. You should all be proud. Simon Gauge and the RAFC board. You have acted with dignity, and I can’t remember a time when the club is such in tune with its fans. And to the fcukwit Alex Jarvis whose incompetence meant this deal ultimately failed. 2022 will be a better year and a lot to look forward to. Up the Dale [Post edited 31 Dec 2021 18:57]

There have been over 250 people this year that I can think of that have played some small part in foiling the shysters from taking Rochdale AFC from its fans. They might not realise it but the antics of Southall, Jarvis, Curran and Bottomley only came to light from their efforts. The fans should be proud. And if you are raising a glass tonight then raise one for DFK and Cloughie too. Never forgotten. | ![](/images/avatars/6471.gif) |
