I recently got a mention in my sons weekly school newsletter related to me being a Dale fan. The school has recently been connecting with ex pupils and in last weeks edition one James Proctor suggested he’d be the only ex pupil of the school ever to play professional football for Rochdale. I’ll be honest I had to look him up and it seems he had 1 start and a couple of sub appearances in the 95/96 season before he moved on to play in the US.
The story went onto suggest that not only would James be the only pupil to play for Rochdale but that in all likelihood I would be the only Rochdale fan to live in Yorkshire!!
If you’re now located located on the dark side or have lived over these parts for any period please let me know the town and how many Dale fans in your household so I can set the record straight with a strongly worded response to the editor in chief !!
Does anyone know why the country season tickets have been stopped?
I tried to renew my country season tickets last Friday in time for Saturdays game only to be told they are no longer available. Apparently if I'd have renewed earlier (I assume the early bird end date) it would have been possible but my only option now is a full season ticket. I only managed 8 of my 10 games last year so that's not viable for me.
I know I missed the date for discounted tickets and was happy to pay the full price but now I'm reduced to individual tickets and sometimes I don't know until the day if I can get over so I won't be paying the on the day price.
Unless there's a good reason just seems a very short sighted decision.
I got the HT score tracking Twitter whilst taxiing towards a runway....quite a few around me nearly sh@t themselves when I yelped as GOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAL! HENDO popped onto my screen. Managed to get the pilot to relay the final score and nearly sh@t myself when he said Rochdale TWO........ then plenty of oooh's from around 10 rows either side :)
I’ll be at today’s game if anyone wants these. My lads having a clear out and these are too small for him now. Doesn’t feel right just chucking them so if anyone wants them I can bring them today.
Not sure if its been mentioned in any of the other threads but did anyone else think Rovers made great use of the timeout they called after about 20, 25 minutes yesterday?
From their goal kick, their number 30 (I think) goes down before it can be taken and needs 'treatment', nearly every one of their players goes over to the touchline to listen to how the manger wants it changing . Kick is taken, he sprints on and the game changed from us dominating the game to two fairly even sides.
Never worked out what they actually changed been it worked a treat for them.
Just checked if I can get the junior season ticket today and the answer is no. Apparently I should have got it in the close season or before 12 today. Asked if they would refund today's ticket if I then get the season ticket but it's a no to that as well. So that's an adult ticket and a junior attending they'll miss out on.
Anyone know the when the green & black shirts are available to be collected?
The missus bought one online ages ago without realising they weren't actually available until December. Cant seem to find out on the official site but I'm looking on my phone so apologies if it is on there.
Someone must be able to come up with a version of Lily for Hilly. I get stuck at line 4.
Here's the original lyrics.....
We'll drink a drink a drink To lily the pink the pink the pink The saviour of our human race For she invented, medicinal compound Most efficacious in every case
I've spent the evening with a Mansfield Town fan on holiday in Tenerife and he had nothing but nice things to say about you (assuming you are the same guy he met on route to the friendly in Austria a few years back).
He said to jog your memory that he's a painter and decorator and that you had a good few days that trip and he just wanted to say hello.
Apologies if it's not you but there can't be many Dale fans that watch England all over.
