I do hope the "ship" is in safe hands. I think it is. It was for years, with some superb gentlemen at the helm. We let it sail on.
Post-Bottomley / A.Kilpatrick / Rawlinson et al, it is difficult to be fully trusting. We do need to remain attentive and questioning as shareholders and supporters as to the affairs of the club, be it at a fans forum, Trust meeting or AGM / EGM. We have to learn from what nearly happened here and did happen at bury. The consequences of doing otherwise could be serious. Never forget. Remain vigilant. |

Two evenly matched sides who play in similar ways. They tippy tappy sideways at the back more than we do!
After the red card / goal, superb game management by Dale. Drop the tippy tappy and LAUNCH it away from our goal every time. Waller played a blinder in goal - he's a canny lad.
Good turnout in Ratcliffes and a lot of shredded nerves, but worth
it for an excellent three points.

As received by shareholders yesterday...
ROCHDALE ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL CLUB LIMITED
Directors: C Ogden (Co-Chairman), S Gauge (Co-Chairman), J Willoughby, A Saul, T Pockney, R Knight, M Knight
NOTICE OF 2024 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
Notice is hereby given that the 2024 Annual General Meeting of Rochdale Association Football Club Limited will be held as follows.
Type of meeting: The meeting will be held in person.
Date and time of meeting: Tuesday 10 December 2024, 5.30pm start
Place: The Ratcliffe Bars & Function Suite, Sandy Lane, Rochdale, OL11 5DR
The usual, more accessible 7-7:30 start has been done away with. Yes, our shares bought in more difficult times to save the club are pretty much worthless now, not that it matters if the club is safe, but at least give us a bit of respect for what we did and make the meeting easier to attend for shareholders who have day jobs.
I get the impression, given the cancellation of the shareholders forum by Mr Gauge and the early start that many shareholders are now considered an irrelevance to be walked over.
Noted. [Post edited 26 Nov 2:36]

Oldham Athletic are a non-league team. Some of their fans pretending they are a "massive" club, claiming imaginary rivalries with two of the biggest clubs in the world is irony beyond hilarious.
Rochdale away is their biggest game and they know it.
No wonder the BIFFO acronym sticks. |

Of course, Oldham Athletic will never have had a match postponed because of the weather. That would be so tinpot.
It really is brilliant how RAFC can conjure up five days of sub-zero temperatures that affected the nation and created a storm that arrived on precisely the right day, just to spite a non-league club with a deluded, Neanderthal fan base. How do they do it? |

Some superb suggestions to the list of greats.
As for the villains, dug this out from a few years back...

Reply | What’s our worst squad ever?
at 22:44 17 Nov 2024
When we drew at home V Ipswich in April 2021, under the "hugely talented" (quote: David Bottomley) BBM, we completed a run of 17 consecutive home league games without a win - the worst such run in the club's existence. That season, until the victory V Swindon* , we'd had one win out of 23 home games in all competitions. Hardly our worst squad in terms of individuals, but performance-wise, awful.
*We now know about some of the characters Roger invited in from the visiting team's entourage that night, despite COVID restrictions. |

He could do to speak to Steve Parkin. With hindsight, he regretted going to Barnsley when in a position to achieve good things here. |

Going back to those days, there was a bury fan who spent lots of his work day on here slagging Dale and our supporters off from his computer at work, until a Dale fan outed his work location from an ip address . How he cried and bleated and begged when he was exposed in case his employers found out. That was funny. |

Rumours galore around the ground today re: this.
Burton won, at last. Dale won, just about.
We'll see what the reality is in days to come but it will be nowt like the Muppet Show going on in bury!  |

Could there be an ex-football club CEO out there, with extremely poor credentials, looking at the situation with mercenary zeal? I wonder.... |
