Post War Rochdale FC match programmes
at 14:18 9 Apr 2024

I am trying to locate someone who has access to Rochdale FC programmes dated between 1946 - 1951. What I am trying to locate is the date when my father Walter R Commins became the secretary of the club. In these old programmes, the was always a list of Club officials. I would be grateful for any help fellow supporters can offer.

Interesting happenings at Newport
at 11:12 24 Sep 2023

Newport County FC is run on a similar basis to The Dale i.e. Fan Owned by the Supporters.
There is a report of what's going on in the BBC Sports Pages on the internet.
It makes interesting reading.

The EFL Club supporters' survey
at 11:02 10 Mar 2022

This appeared on my e-mail IN box this morning. It has probably been circulated to thousands of football fans. I don't think that I was selected for any particu;ar reason.
It seeks opinions on scores of subjects and the introduction suggests that the survey will only take around 20 minutes. ]
DO NOT BE FOOLED.
I attempted it and terminated it after an hour when it started asked for opinions on referees!!
At that stage I still had 2 "blobs" left on the progress bar.
SO BE WARNED. Don't start it unless you have at least an hour to spare.
My own view is that a survey of such length is not going to reflect true balanced opinions - folks will just get fed up.......like me.
This looks like the EFL playing true to form.

ZEN Sponsorship
at 15:39 12 Nov 2020

I was very pleased to learn that ZEN was now a sponsor of the club.
ZEN is a fine organisation. I have been with them since they started up in a small industrial estate unit in the town so the fact that I am still with them says a lot.
Their customer service is excellent. Their technical help line is everything that you could wish for when you have a problem. And the really good part is that you are speaking to somone in Rochdale. My latest acquisition has been the fast broadband together with ZEN supplying my land line telephone service, which I found to be lower cost than BT.
I am super satisfied and I am sure that other Dale supporters will be too.

I do think that the Poll_2062 is a bit past its sell by date now.

Heading the football
at 19:33 17 Jan 2020

The Scottish FA have now banned youth soccer from heading the football.
Whilst I think that the sentument is OK, I wonder whether this is a sledgehammer to crack a nut (no pun intended).
If this is introduced into competitive soccer, then the probable consequences are that there will be fewer goals scored and more free kicks and penalties (unless an offence in the penalty area attrcts only an indirect free kick). The paying public will react by claiming that the game has eroded as a result. Should that happen, there is a countermeasure that will probably at least restore the balance to what was before any ban on heading. I suggest that the countermeasure is to banish off-side offences and scrap the use of VAR too, except for goal-line decisions.
