Should provide excellent coverage and publicity for the club. Such a shame that our COO couldn't be bothered assisting with it. Well done to the supporter who pressed forward with this project (he knows who he is) and also to George for pushing it to our Boards attention. |
| Forum Reply | TONIGHTS GAME V HARTLEPOOL UTD at 09:02 25 Sep 2024
Haven't managed to see the last couple of games but did hear radio commentary of the closing minutes of last nights game. The home commentators were obviously very deflated regarding Hartlepool's poor form, whilst they also took time to say how well organised the Rochdale team were and how we looked a class above them. On to a home game at the weekend, and hopefully, more of the same. |

George... I can only echo what others have said. You have done a magnificent job in difficult circumstances and will be a huge loss to the Trust, the supporters and the Main Board of the Football club. I know from personal experience just how time consuming it can be combining Trust issues with work and family duties. Much of the work done by the Trust goes unseen by the vast majority but you have handled things in an highly professional manner during your all too brief spell as Chair. I'd also like to apologise for my badgering you to become a Trust member a few years ago !! |

Really impressive performance today. We were well worth the victory and played assured attack minded football whilst looking solid at the back. Well done to Jim and all the players. Up the Dale. |

Eek. I'd actually almost forgotten about him...but sadly, still have nightmares about Billy Boslem. |

An excellent performance with Woking second best all over the park. Three actually flattered them. So good to see us attacking at pace, which caused them no end of problems. Henry's goal already a contender for gots. Up the Dale. |

Fantastic news. Common sense. Well done to the club for listening. |

Couldn't listen today, but sounds like a very welcome win and an improving second half performance. Another clean sheet to boot, so that's a big plus as well. On to Saturday now... let's see if we can get a bit of momentum at home . Up the Dale |

I honestly can't begin to fathom the complete lunacy of this decision. It has obviously been taken without a hint of intelligence or any thought as to how it will impact the paying supporters. Only a complete about turn and an apology will suffice. I am seriously worried that we have people with such a lack of common sense on the Board. |
| Forum Reply | York away match thread at 08:30 21 Aug 2024
Just listened to the manager's interview. He obviously sees a different game to me. There's being positive which is fine and then there's going into denial. We are shot shy Jim. One shot on target is not good enough. York looked the stronger team for much of the game and deserved the win. Beginning to seriously doubt the logic of a 3 year deal. |
| Forum Reply | York away match thread at 21:51 20 Aug 2024
No complaints about the result. York were sharper and better organised as a team than we were. Overall, I'm disappointed that McNulty doesn't seem to have learned from last seasons mistakes and is still scared of his team shooting when they have half a chance. We can almost discount the opening day win against a Boston team who were nowhere near the standard of an average team at this level. Our last two games have been against more typical teams, and we've not shown much tactical flexibility. |
| Forum Reply | York away match thread at 21:03 20 Aug 2024
Looked easier to score. But at least its a good chance. Rodney and Mitchell very quiet so far. York should have scored...again we are wide open down the left side. Combination of keeper and post saving us. |
| Forum Reply | York away match thread at 20:46 20 Aug 2024
Agree. We look very dodgy on the left hand side of our defence . also feel the keeper should be saving their tame effort from which they scored. Although we have had plenty of chances to shoot, we do seem to be overplaying and not having enough efforts on goal. Mitchell especially needs better technique when trying to control the ball. Hoping for an improvement in the second half. With a few tactical tweaks from Jim, we can win this game. Hope he sees it as we do. |

A thoroughly deserved win and a great start to the campaign. By all accounts we could have won by more, but three away goals without reply is excellent. I'm sure we will come up against much sterner tests, but it's a good start. |
| Forum Reply | Salford friendly at 09:15 4 Aug 2024
Great entertainment yesterday, and a really refreshing attacking attitude from the Dale. Really like the look of Burger and especially Allarakhia and although it's a friendly, we made Salford look a poor team for long spells. Fantastic goal by Henry for the second week running and it really could have been 6 or 7 with ease. My only slight criticism would be that we caused ourselves a few problems when unnecessarily short passing out from goal and in defence. However, there was none of the "to you; to me" from last season, so it's a small point. The pitch looks as lush as ever and there is bit of a feel good atmosphere around the club, so well done to all who made it possible. Good to see Colin Garlick at the ground...shame he's working for Salford these days instead of us. |

Not impressed with this news. He might be a lovely chap who cares deeply about the club, but the fayre on show is dismal. We must put more emphasis on entertainment and attacking intent. |
| Forum Reply | Rodney Signs New Deal at 09:31 24 Jun 2024
Pleased with this news. Provided we can keep him fit and well, he should be a huge asset in the National League. |

Staggeringly similar to watching Dale under Jim (and before). Only difference is that the England players are a much higher quality, but nevertheless, they are, like Dale, made to play a defensive game which frustrates players and fans alike. England have possibly the strongest squad I can remember for a long time, yet Denmark out thought and outplayed us for long periods whilst a very average Serbia could easily have scored in the second half. The outpouring of criticism aimed at Southgate's tactics from pretty much every pundit speaks loudly that this type of football is not good to watch. Hopefully, we can change things up considerably. |

Absolutely delighted with this news. Probably more than we could have wished for in terms of the future of the club. Huge thanks to the individuals who made this happen...they know who they are and probably won't seek public praise, but we should be eternally grateful for their part in this . Let's look forward to the coming season with pride and a little optimism. Seems a long time since we united to rid ourselves of the wrongdoings of Bottomley; but we should never ever forget how close he came to ruining the club that we all love. Up the Dale |
