This game will stick in my memory as it was the first game where I saw Arnold who i supported as a lad play a professional club as we had reached the FA Cup first round proper, normally there was a gate of around 200 but that day there was 4000 there,a total eye opener,it was also my first introduction to football violence as loads of Forest came up to welcome the Vale fans and it was kicking off everywhere,the replay was also my first away game as the first leg had ended 0-0 and for a while we had the lead at 1-2 but eventually lost something like 5-2 The following year I left school,got a job and headed down to Meadow Land for the first time but that Port Vale game has lasted in my memory far longer than any Notts game

And you know why. Your joker in charge is really making the club look ridiculous again today btw.
Back on topic: nine men, 1-0 at Burnley or the 7-2 at Stockport.
Winning 2-1 at Halifax on August Bank Holiday 2000 thanks to a screamer from Jonah. 3-0 at Valley Parade in December 2010 3-0 at Southport in 1970 in our first season back in Division Three

Also this one was a real sign of intent for the next season. I think Hartlepool could have sealed the title with a win? It was at the end of Hill's first half season in charge and we were brilliant.
Its a BRILLIANT goal to cap a BRILLIANT start by Rochdale - Don Goodman 26/08/10

This game was pretty awesome on a Friday night.

Southampton away, 2 0 win. Rotherham home, 1 0 down, Dagnall came off the bench to make his first apperance for months following injury and hit a second half hat trick, 5 1.

Playing one of the dirtiest, most cynical, time wasting sides (that wasn't managed by Darren Ferguson). Marshall for them was a disgrace to the game with his acting, with a shocker of a ref, and Calvin sorts it in the 95th timewasting minute. Heh.

Some memories there! Love that McEvilly goal.. players bouncing off him!
Townson... our last player to play for England?
Beating bury 2-1 (?!) at their place in the early 2000s and Townson jumped into the crowd, think there were at least a couple of thousand Dale fans there that day. Had been a while since we played them as well. Anyone care to add any detail to my sketchy memory?!

Not so much the whole game but a last minute goal by Eui Martinez at York to seal a 2-1 win. 25 yard screamer into the top corner. Always comes to mind ( as do many away from home last minute winners inc Calvin at Bradford)

Bradford city away winter 1970. Our bubble had burst and we were falling out of contention in the top half . Went to Bradford midweek as underdogs and played them off the park3-0. Tony Buck scored a wonderful goal... might have been his last before his leg break.
happy days coming back over tops that night

I remember that one. Hadn't the original fixture been abandoned at halftime a few weeks previously due to fog? Couldn't see from one side of the ground to the other.

Sticking with favourate games that didn't mean much, the lincoln game at home on 12th February 2005. Earnie Cooksie was sent off for handing a goal bound shot in the first half. Expecting the usual Lincoln jinks from then on Dale went on to win 3 v 1. Holt, Heald and Goodall the scorers. A comfortable win. Just felt proud to be Dale that day.

Yes, it was abandoned at half time due to fog and a nearby factory making it worse by churning out loads of black smoke. A blessing in disguise as the home team were winning 1 0!

I rember that one.great save from Cooksey. God I miss that guy. Does anybody know how his wife and son are doing?
Also attended the two games Dingdang has posted. Two great games. My favourites are the seven-two against county and when we came back from 3-1 down against Shrewsbury to win. Joe hart was in net for them and it was the week George best died. Parkin was a tit but we played some good stuff under him at times.

The nine man win at Turf Moor. Three abiding memories: the John Francis assault on Jimmy Graham; big Alex Jones coming off the bench to put John FrAncis into the wall, and Keith Welch in the nets keeping everything out. A couple of questions for those who went. Was this Andy Milner 's first game for Dale, or was that the previous season? I remember him turning the Burnley fullback inside out in his first match. And who, besides Alex Jones, was sent off?
