I imagined today that I would be 1 fan in a crowd of about 85, to see so many of us there was superb. We were very vocal for large parts of the game and fully got behind the lads in full spirit. It was good to see that because the players are going to have to hear us in this relegation dog fight.
Let's face it, we all now know that survival is a must for us right now. Nobody wants to go back to Accrington, no disrespect to Accrington but I much prefer visiting The Valley over the Crown Ground, we spent too much time in League 2 to simply just throw it away so easily. Last season we proved we deserved to compete with the likes of the massive Sheffield Wednesday, Charlton, Southampton & Huddersfield, it's too good to lose it all.
So if we are going to stay up we need to start playing our parts as fans of this football club we all adore, we need to get vocal and get behind the lads on match day! Preferably starting on Saturday against an on form Stevenage side, who like us last year they are proving there a good prospect in this division, It's going to be no easy game at all. The team need to reproduce the sort of good play we saw against Preston and we need to rally together, help them get the result and an extremely vital 3 points for Chris Beech & Rochdale Football Club as a whole.
Roll on next weekend, Up The Dale.

In reply to the OP we could still be in League 1 next season, but with the way things are going outside T'Dale playing away at Accrington and not Charlton! |  | | |

I'll be frank with you
Constant singing/chanting/drumming- regardless of what's happening on the pitch, is a complete pain in the arse
Most supporters enjoy the ebb & flow of games - having a constant racket (for me) diminishes my enjoyment of what's actually happening on the pitch
In a word, it's mindless
I've done my years standing and singing in the Sandy, and I challenge anyone to say they're a better supporter than me, but I prefer to watch seated in the Pearl St now and offer vocal support at the right time - when it's actually going to have an effect! - than throughout the game
I respect your views, but serving up Accy as an example of good support just doesn't wash with me [Post edited 1 Jan 1970 1:00]

I couldn't agree more. It's singing & chanting for the sake of it, and that's exactly how it comes across. Half-arsed chanting isn't going to offer encouragement to the players in the way that genuine feeling and emotion to whats happening on the pitch does.

Thirded. Not to mention how embarrassing some of our chants are to say the least.
"we've got Brett Ormerod" 
I'm all for singing, but come on. Also, singing about loan players more than your contracted players is a particular gripe of mine. Balls done jack recently but he will get a chant regularly. Jason Kennedy on the other hand, my player of the season, how often is this lads name belted out?
Rant over.

Here Here Jones will always be a legend but the time has come to call an end to his career at Rochdale and move on. Lets bring in a young centre midfielder for backup with league experience in league 2. Andrew Procter fits the bill. |

Glad I'm not the only one with a memory P-Diddlington. Over the past few months I've seen countless posts lambasting Eyre for giving Jones a 2 year deal! |  | | |
