There would definitely be something in working with Crown Oil / Crown Power (if they wanted to) for any infrastructure projects.
'Green' is the in thing at the minute - if we were to move to a new stadium or training facility, the development and running of it being at least carbon neutral would be a huge win. I wouldn't be surprised if there were substantial grants available for that kind of project too. |
I wonder if any of the Directors have made it their business to visit the main sponsors or to go and chat with other large companies / employers in the area? Zen, the new Amazon depot, JD sports, Hopwood Hall, Coates, McBrides, JW Lees, Takeuchi, C R Lawrence, British Vita, UK Car Group......... |  | |  |

Do the club still have a relationship with Zen considering they were the sponsor of the Sandy for a few seasons. |  |

I for one would say yes, Kingsway would be ideal , easy from the Motorway, lots of weekend and evening parking and away from the complaints of local residents. It would signal the end of an era and the start of a new one, ... none of this "New Chapter" BS. the thing is we would need the new stadium before we quit the old one .. financially tricky I imagine |
They will need to be quick if they want to build on there as most of it has been built on now. Think there's a few plots near the metro link station left which wouldn't be a bad idea |  | | |

All a matter of opinion isn't it.
And if, as rumoured, Mullarkey had a release clause then we were powerless anyway. For what it's worth, I thought he started well but beyond that, did ok in a really poor team. I don't think we'd miss him massively but again, all down to opinions.
People have to start to realise where we are. We've got down to non-league, our contracted players who might be able to offer something are going to be snatched. We have done it before with Akpa-Akpro and Widdowson at Grimsby, Lancashire and Vincenti at Aldershot etc.
Would he have made a difference to the outcome? Not at all. he started one game under McNulty which we lost 3-0 and came on with 5 minutes left in a 4-2 win over Walsall. In the other games we fared better than when he was in the team. |
Disagree completely and your lack of ambition and acceptance of the situation is endemic throughout the club. Malarkey was our best defender and your reference to release clauses are making a excuse for Mc'Nultys decision not to play him. What's a release clause got to do with it when you still have a chance of avoiding relegation? |  | | |

As has been said Mullarkey had been injured. Considering the miracle it was going to take to keep us up I can understand McNulty not wanting to take the risk with him. | |

It wasnt suggested he was injured. To suggest that Mularkey wasn't the best defender in the club is not knowing football properly, it was obvious. I get the impression that the love in with McNulty will reflect the one we saw with BBM, he should have been sacked after the Stockport cup game but still had his backers until he relegated us. Sometimes the obvious is staring you in the face, Mularkey and BBM are two good examples of that. I suspect Mc Nulty will be the same because I've seen the evidence, that's what I'm judging him on and I'm not alone in that. He's played for the club and is a nice chap and for some that clouds their judgement, it's the same with the clamour to sign ex players. [Post edited 8 Jun 2023 20:40]

Mullarkey was injured. McNulty mentioned it in an interview (Possibly the Stockport preview?). Also, at that Stockport game, Mullarkey was stood on the touchline wearing one of those big plastic boot things.
The AFC Wimbledon match was the only one before the injury when McNulty didn't have Mullarkey in the matchday squad. |  |

But considering Crawley's win against Hartlepool we would have got relegated the day of Stockport game anyway.
Nothing about a love in for the manager just thinking that not rushing back a player who had been injured was the correct and sensible decision. Any buyout clause would have been agreed before JM became interim manager, TM might not have signed without a reasonable buyout clause in place, considering he signed when were neck deep in a relegation battle. | |

Lets hope that there is no one else with a buy out clause in their contracts. | | | |

Tyrese Sinclair has been at some sort of training camp in Marbella run by a chap called Sam Carrillo who describes himself as a FIFA agent according to his Twitter account.
He certainly looks fit and full of running but is he after a move as well? | | | |

I thought Mullarkey missed the game at Wimbledon as part of concussion protocol after the Crawley game. https://www.rochdaleafc.co.uk/news/2023/april/report_afcwimbledonaway_010423/ |  | | |

I did wonder about this and whether a stadium build would be a chance to showcase innovation that the Advanced Manufacturing and Productivity Institute in Rochdale is involved with.
Got to be honest though, what I know about manufacturing and the institute would fit on the back of a postage stamp. Could be the wrong type of making 😠| | | |

There are lots of initial trials taking place using graphene impregnated concrete. Apparently it requires about 30% less concrete and needs no rebar. It allows all sorts of impossible shapes to be 3D printed .A "concretene" floor can be ready for use within 24 hours of laying as it dries much more quickly. So I guess it is possible to print the components on site and just crane them into position... quicker , less concrete, no rebar needed therefore greener.

Or just use timber like Dartford. Total cost £7m including training pitches took a year to build opened in 2006. | | | |

I was responding to Chaffs original post which seemed to suggest that McNulty didn't fancy Mularkey, he didn't mention him being injured. Maybe i interpreted his post wrongly. The suggestion that we were a better team without him in the side is one that i have disputed, he was easily the best defender in the club from what i witnessed. Anyway, as Chaff alluded to it's all about opinions and disagreement is what keeps forums and discussions alive. Long may they continue. [Post edited 9 Jun 2023 7:20]

I really don't think there's a 'love-in' TS, I just think a lot of fans are willing to at least give him a proper chance before deciding he isn't up to the task, rather than considering 10 games with a squad that isn't his own that was 10 points adrift at the bottom of the table when he took over as a proper chance. Especially when the results given those obvious limitations were actually not bad.
I think you're unfair with the Stockport assessment too. We were 16th at the time, had lost just one in five and had put in a couple of very decent performances in the weeks before that game, especially the 2-2 draw with Sunderland. Sacking him after that Stockport game would've been very harsh and a knee-jerk reaction. We absolutely should've sacked him a month or two later and given ourselves a fighting chance of escaping relegation though - just in case you think I was one of his backers until he relegated us. |  |

I think the ‘have it in brigade’ far outnumber the give him a chance crew as far as McNulty’s appointment is concerned. Let’s be honest the majority of the fan base didn’t want him to be appointed. If we are not in the top six after 6 games there will be calls to replace him in some quarters and open revolt in others. I really think this is a poison chalice and while I didn’t want the club to appoint him now he is there he will have my support until December provided we are not in the bottom 6.
But I really hope that he ‘sticks it’ to his detractors and assembles a side that competes for promotion. For the record I really don’t care if we have a side that passes teams of the park and produces an end product, or make John Beck look like Pep, as long as we can be competitive in this first season in the NL. | | | |
