Sadly; it was a monumental cock up by Max Taylor rather than the goalkeeper who had come to the near side (as you should) Taylor never looked up, and hit the ball firmly into the far corner of the open goal. I think it was the only effort on target from either side in the first half. Under 11...

Have a look at the background information on these "characters" and the links with one of them at Swindon . It's not as though Rochdale is an automatic choice for an Essex chap who by his own admission thinks we are all "nancy boys" to invest his money in. The EFL obviously agree, and are...

This is absolutely fantastic news for our club. These people shouldn't be anywhere near owning a football club; let alone one that they have no affiliation towards. The best thing though is that it's likely that our now disgraced former Director & CEO David Bottomley (who I have been strongly...

It was open last week, but it's not in the top ten chippies in Rochdale imho. New caterers seem to have gone down well with the majority of our fans.

Ended up going in the home stand with one mate, after our tickets allocation sold out quickly. I'd estimate at between 50-100 Dale dotted around in home areas...absolutely no trouble whatsoever...they were a good bunch in the main. How it should be. Apart from the dickhead in the Dale end who...

He was hard as nails for us, but as clumsy as Rory McArdle. Glad he's not back at Dale to be honest. Mind you; we have a clownshoe of our own in Jim McNulty. Very similar player to be honest.

Our scumbag ex CEO David Bottomley had tried to sell the club to other investors (Halsall from Bolton I think) and tried to do the share issue so that Halsall & co could gain control. A group of our fans, together with the Trust, turned this on its head as they didn't think it was a good deal...

Harrogate reduced the numbers they were able to give to Rochdale to about 650 . Tinpot club. I thought we were tinpot, but this takes the fookin piss. I was at the club before 5pm (because Harrogate can't do a Barcode on their tickets according to the lass at our ticket office)

Far too late to change venues at this late hour. Sponsorship; catering; staffing, police etc all need a week or so.

It's a crying shame that Harrogate haven't managed to get the necessary safety certificates for our game there on Saturday....but absolutely tin pot that they haven't bothered to communicate properly. We'd booked Train Tickets for the day...ok it's only £20 each, but we were looking forward to...

Hearing that Ollie may have been sold. Sad news if true but I suppose we have to pay for the damage done by Bottomley.

It's been a month of turmoil at Dale. First, the CEO/Director (and useless bugger number one of all eternity) Bottomley was voted off the Board together with another long time ditherer and fan abuser Rawlinson. This followed action taken by a dozen or so influential long time supporters who...

He has bags and bags of potential, and has scored some good goals around Xmas, but his form dipped (unsurprisingly) following his much publicised move to City in January which would have been a fantastic move financially for the lad, and obviously a good financial boost for us. Seem to recall...

As you say; it was a shocker. Not like many of the debatable "was it/wasn't it" decisions you see every week. I don't normally take issue with bad decisions by officials but I would love to see the assessor's comments on that beauty...or even hear from the referee and his assistant who both...

Dunno, but it sounds a fortune ; especially as they haven't been used yet. In another twist, the club has this afternoon asked for a section of supporters to help with ticketing prices and other issues. My mate on the Trust Board,( who work damn hard for the club and the fans) is absolutely...

I know that Rochdale were strongly in favour of the wage cap...and in fairness, it would benefit the smaller clubs whilst creating a bigger step up for promoted teams rising to the Championship. It's thought that Bottomley was touting himself for a job at the EFL last summer, when he was on TV...

He has a small shareholding... about 2% of the issued shares I think. Similar to what other Directors hold. If you have met him, you may be forgiven for thinking he owns the bulk of the club, as this is exactly how he comes over. Only when you have to deal with him on a regular basis can you...

David Bottomley is our CEO despite, it would appear, not having any background in football, and a somewhat questionable business past (it's all in the public domain... google David Bottomley Hasbro) He "stepped up" to the salaried position in mysterious circumstances when James Mason (a very...

We had an "interesting " virtual Fans Forum last night, at which it emerged that we've given BBM a 12 month contract extension but that some Directors didn't even know. Nor has it been announced anywhere. BBM actually corrected a Director who said that his contract finished in May this year...

It came out of nowhere, although it's thought that he never wanted to be Chairman when he succeeded Chris Dunphy 2 years ago. Hardly ever seen at the ground, and even less vocal, it really isn't a surprise. What all Dale fans must stop however, is the march towards World domination that our...
