Messrs Rusk, Burchnall and Jolley may not be good managers, but at least have had the good grace not to chat bollocks incessantly on local radio, unlike "Former Rochdale Manager Steve Eyre" on Radio Manchester (aka "Radio Bolton" since the partiality of most of the presenters towards Wanderers...

Dale repaid the mortgage on their ground yesterday. No longer having interest to pay frees up some money for player wages...

He won "Dale Dragon" player of the season, as voted for by our youthful fans :) Played very well before Christmas whilst on loan from Mansfield. Went back there for a month, then signed a six month deal with us. Still decent afterwards, but took time to get going again on his return. I...

Glad you like Aaron Morley. I suspect we've got a sell on clause, so if you do well and sell him on for big bucks then it's trebles all round... ;)

Welcome back Grimsby. Rochdale's record against Grimsby in the current century: P12, W9, D2, L1. Yes, welcome back!! :)

A bit on the damp side if you try the shortest route...

Or could be "In Furs", but his players would have to wear shiny leather boots...

As a fan of sixties music, it would be fitting if his first signing is from Hull's released list: "Venus signs Tom Eaves - moaning striker with a pony tail" :)

I don't know if you need a right back, and he's 34 and AFAIK under contract, but Nigel Clough has already signed John Brayford (Burton) four times for various clubs...

That's roughly how I see it, although I think Bristol R might be higher than Vale, and the other two might both survive - Fleetwood, Morecambe, Cheltenham, Burton and maybe Shrewsbury could struggle and there's always the possibility of one of the "bigger" clubs having a random 'mare...

Well done Vale. Proper club, proper manager, properly run.

If its Graham Barrow??

Good player. Would have no objection to him coming to Dale, but I suspect his destination will be elsewhere..

Got out of the habit of away games over the last dozen years - only been to the cup ties at Old Trafford and Wembley. Never been to Barrow, Colchester, Crawley, Harrogate, Newport, Solihull*, Stevenage, Swindon, Sutton and Tranmere. Never been and don't particularly want to go to Salford...

Extremely unlikely, as our board and supporters trust are likely to be more in sympathy with the boycotting fans than their spiv of an "owner". Doubt we'll be playing Flyde either...

A trip to Darlington has been added on Saturday 16th June. Scunny, Darlo and Chester - refreshingly non-tinpot. Wouldn't mind Southport, either...

We're off to Chester on July 9th. Nice City, respectable club, shame about the somewhat tinpot ground.

Managed to make Goole Town much less shit than normal for them many years ago, too.

Second signing for Dale is Jordan Scanlon, signing his first professional contract. Right-sided midfielder, on the bench for a couple of games last season without getting on the pitch.

Rochdale have announced their first friendly. Unsurprisingly it's one of the clubs relegated from L2. Scunthorpe, away. 19th July.
