Todays Match and Your Fans

[Goldstone Rapper]

Mmmmmm...

A game at the Goldstone in May '72 springs to mind

BHA needed a draw for auto promotion to Div. 2, and Dale needed a draw to stay in Div. 3

Finished 1-1

Fix!

But saying that, we have Wednesday, Huddersfield and Southampton that all can also possibly boast this

Shit, Wednesday.

Hello! Dale fan here in peace

Firstly I thought today was one of the best football matches I've seen, and a fantastic advertisment for League 1 football, even though a man with a whistle thought he would try and ruin things for both teams!.

If you lot don't go up this season I will be shocked, you're practically there now and if you play like you did today (the passing and movement was fantastic) you'll easily be in the Championship.

I, as many Dale fans are shocked at how well we've done this season, and even though this isn't very modest I feel we matched you yard for yard, kick for kick today and the scoreline was very fair.

Your penalty was dubious, but from about 60 yards away my first instinct was that it was a penalty and if it had been for us I'd have been screaming for a penalty.

Rose tinted specs maybe but I think our penalty was stone wall as your defender who had been all over O'Grady all afternoon went through the back of him.

We should have had a 2nd penalty as your defender clearly handballed it towards the end, but that's life and there's nothing we can do about it!

And your fans are a credit to your club! Very friendly and vocal, shame you sang 'we're gonna score in a minute' and a minute later we scored! But you lot cheered the local lads who were playing football at half time and seemed very gracious in the draw, cheers guys

I like this guy... come have a championship experience with us next season... do the Dell scum in the play off final.

Can i just say, you said that you have performed well above anything you ever dreamt of, so have we... welcome to the club.

A very good match, a nice well kept stadium with plenty of atmosphere, a chippy just behind the visitors stand, pay on the gate and sit where you choose, pretty much the perfect away day, if only the station was closer.

I have to echo the sentiment about Oldham and Rochdale, Oldham is a miserable dump with fans to match, 'Dale is just about the complete opposite. Like B'Muff and Orient they have done superbly on a small budget, actually would love to see them make the playoffs.

cosy little club; local car about 50 yards from ground proudly displaying Oldham scarf and bar staff in Burnley shirts wtf; and all locals were closet mancs who went mad when rooney scored.

They were West Ham shirts

 

[Beach Hut]

Must admit there were a lot of cheers when Man Utd scored in that pub right next to the ground.

Thought we were lucky to get a point as Rochdale rocked - looked a good team.

They were West Ham shirts

Didn't see any of the United game as we were outside in the beer garden, but I assumed the West Ham shirts were purely because they hate Manchester United so much? But then again, they surely can't wear the shirts of United's opposition every game they play!

Was a decent little pub although I wasn't a fan of the beer - which was a shame because I know there are some decent ales from that area.

 

[The Ringleader Returns!]

I wasn't cheering for the yellows at half time... I had a large stake on the red and blacks to win. What a winner too,

 

[AnotherArch]

The bar staff said that the West ham shirts were because they had a close link with them signing their players and the money received keeping Rochdale alive. Biggest signings were Stephen Bywater and then as far back as Alan Taylor who scored in the FA Cup Final for West Ham in the 70's.

A Grand day out, up from Plymouth & a fair result (for us) in fact the only things that could have made it better, would have been all 3points off the back of our chances 1st half & more RW. Lees pre match drinks, thanks for your hospitality Roch-a-dale, Top Club, Top Pie & Chips... & The Sssuuuuunnnnssshhhiiiiinnnnneeee!!!
