The kids v the dog penalty shoot out was enjoyable.
I was having a pint at the time. The only time I ever stayed in my seat for the half time 'entertainment' was back in 2009 when we had cheerleaders. About 12 lasses in their early 20's with next to nowt on, dancing etc. I miss them.

It's chicken and egg, though, isn't it. What may be a wholly admirable strategy for a small business (a plumbers' merchants, say), doesn't necessarily work for what is, essentially, a branch of the entertainment industry. The club appears to have abandoned any effort to widen its fanbase, in favour of desperately retaining its existing supporters. Whilst that seems, at first glance, not only prudent but, in fact, Hobson's choice, I'm not sure it has a long-term future, as said fanbase's average age increases on a yearly basis. Rochdale folk might be many things but they're not daft; they won't turn up as an act of charity!
Not sure I completely agree with you. The message isn't really that negative just a matter of fact. And isn't it better to set expectations lower to potential new fans in order to try and exceed them on match day in the hope they keep coming? Over sell us they turn up and see us lose 6 - 1 you'll never see them again haha.
Our selling point is we're a family friendly club. We're also having one of our most successful periods as a club but for reasons mentioned plenty of times we're never going to pull much more than we currently do.

If expectations are low, whether from a Hill interview or any other route, then we won't get any new fans.
Having said that, I don't see anything wrong with this particular interview.

Bit before my time was Eric, as a player at least. But as assistant to Danny Wilson in the 90's, he was a first class coach. Works for Tottenham these days.
Leeds have offered 300k for Winnall. We paid Scunny 250k for him. Hilarious.

Our chairman has much more money than yours. And much more ambition, thank god
"Let's have a bottle of champagne to celebrate not getting relegated to L2 every single season" in the words of Paul Calf.. bag of shite!
I know it's a tough one to answer but have a go,why would someone with so much apparent wealth need to borrow money then have to repay it at an extortionate interest rate?

Please provide figures to back up your statement.
Like the last time.
If not, it might be best for the site administrators to consider your membership here as your arguments are without substance. I'm sure if you're confident in your posts you'll be able to provide the information required. Otherwise there's not much point in you logging in.

Don't ask him trick questions.
When I was your age, I used to enjoy the odd game of tennis. Or was it golf?

So so bitter! I mean why wouldn't you be I suppose when your peak as a club is scraping survival as a poor L1 team.
I've seen things, and reached heights supporting Bury that Rochdale fans will never have the pleasure of witnessing. Beating Hull and getting into the 5th round could be another who knows.
We will have made over 500k from the FA Cup after Saturday.

So if you've seen all those highs as a bury fan, that makes you at least 20 years old. In other words, an adult. Wow, wow, wow.
We reached the fourth round two years running, so we know how the monies work. I think you need to re-do your sums.

There was no bitterness in my post, just a simple request for information to back up your post.
Well 3 years before the SOS campaign but it's better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all.
What were Rochdale doing on the same day in 1998 may I ask?
And it says it all that despite our financial past we are still a bigger and better club than Dale, and always will be, as we have been for the last 130 years!

Please state what is deluded or gullible in my above post?
The difference between Bury and Dale summed up in 25 seconds.. This is where ambition gets you
Please could you provide the requested information to back up your original opinion.
This would ensure that further contributions are taken more seriously. Should of course you choose to/be allowed to login after recent failures to do so.
