A big thank you from Bradford City fans, a really nice gesture.
Many if not most City fans have never heard the chant before including myself and took offence and things were taken out of context, Dale fans never meant any offence and we all know that now and the article clears things up once and for all.
Good luck for the rest of the season.
Thanks again. |  | | |

Bloody daft is that. Where do you draw the line? It'd be just our luck to get a referee who actually doesn't have a father, and once again Rochdale fans are such horrible, senseless yobs! |  |

You do have a point there, Owens comments shouldn't have even been mentioned, i saw nothing wrong with what he said and to me there was no reason whatsoever to make an apology. infact i wouldn't have if i were him. | | | |

Who is this person making an apology on behalf of Rochdale fans? When did Rochdale fans agree to this?
Farcical! I am a Trust member and completely disagree with the apology. |  | | |

The quotes contain an explanation. The report uses the words "sorry" and "apologised"
That's not to say there would be anything wrong with apologising for an honest mistake. |  |

You are a bit out of order on this N.C. The person in question is on the Trust Board, and a perfect gentleman, who did the right thing. Why do you think the apology was wrong? |  | | |

Dale fans sing a song...Bradford fans take it the wrong way.
Bradford got it wrong, not Dale! There is simply nothing to apologise for...and certainly not on behalf of Dale fans.
I didn't sing it, but feel no remorse for the song being sung.
As was said above...where do we draw the line? This is football fans chanting in a bid to get one up on opponents.
I take it the Bradford fans were ok with 'All Yorkshiremen sh@g sheep' and 'We hate Yorkshire'...which are far more vitriolic! | | | |

But not one that will open old wounds of a tragic event where people died or were seriuosly injured.
I didnt say that you were'n't entitled to an opinion, just sometimes its better to keep it to your self.
What are you trying to gain from this? A headline that "Rochdale fans aren't really sorry for any upset caused?"
Which is not the case.

Opening what wounds? It's their misunderstanding. Dale have nothing to apologise for or even need to address it. | | | |

I would have thought that you are in the minority with your thoughts, but hey ho.
If one person was upset and now feels better because of the apology, then it was well worth doing.
It shows that the club still has some modicum of class about it. | |

On seeing NC's first post I thought "what an insensitive prick" for a couple of seconds before realising how I/we have been conditioned by the PC agenda.
In cases where fan behaviour has gone beyond limits, it's normal for their club to come out with an official apology. To my knowledge, Dale have not done so, neither have Bradford asked for one. That in itself shows how unimportant an issue it is.
At the time there was discussion on this board and the matter was cleared up. As stated then, the more senior fans were able to shut the chant down pretty quickly, advising the chantees(?) as to why. That should have been the end of the matter.
If an individual feels the need to repair relations that's up to him/her but should not be doing so on behalf of others without seeking their opinions.
I suspect if this had been an incident involving Liverpool and Hillsborough we'd have had any number of posters complaining of scouse intolerance etc.. Can't have it both ways!
I also suspect this will be the ONLY time I support a view point with NC

I think I can shed some light on this. At Monday's Trust meeting we were made aware of a letter written to our Trust by the Bradford Trust asking if we were aware of some ill chosen chant coming from the Rochdale section, and could we respond.
Accordingly, our Secretary wrote back the following day and his letter has since appeared in their local rag. But for this no-one would be any the wiser of our apology.
The episode has become something of a molehill changing into a mountain, due to the bleeding internet! |  |
