Ah, the first Saturday in January, traditionally the time of the FA Cup third round.
Twenty years ago tomorrow I was on my way to Preston on the train.
More recently we’ve had the memories of games at Spotland against Leeds, Nottingham Forest and Newcastle.
This Saturday may seem more mundane at first glance but if anything may prove to be more important in the club’s history than any of the above.
Let’s just see passion and enthusiasm in this first home game of 2023. Please.

Going to rain all day according to forecast, and every day for a fortnight. I read last night that we are in for 6 - 8 weeks of very wet and windy weather as a result of the Gulf Stream dumping on us rather than being further North dumping snow on Scandinavia... welcome to Rochdale, the wettest town in the country with more than 50,000 inhabitants... |  | | |

I have seen no news of a inspection, so it must be on at the moment. | | | |

A few people have replied to a tweet about the match on the official feed asking if there is going to be a pitch inspection no response as of yet. | |

We had a Chris Harker. A posh boat-builder who ended two players careers no less, one of them Cloughie. Goalies were a bit tougher back in the day. |  |

I expect the first member of staff gets into the club on a matchday before 11:30. So why does it take till then to get a tweet put out regards to a pitch inspection. Even if it was a positive one saying despite the rain the pitch drainage is doing its job. If the staff in early doors don't have access to the social media accounts. How about taking a picture of the pic and sending it to one of their colleagues that does.
Ironically due to strike I am not coming up today so apologies for the rant. Oh and bloomin IFoller seem to have blocked the VPN hack  | |

Yes there’s been a lot of rain, but the pitch is in good condition and the drains were meant to have been sorted when it was all re-done during Covid.
We could do with knowing whether that work was worth it. The details of the situation, rather than apportioning blame elsewhere.
Edit: details of the pitch work in 2020

It’s not rained for an hour at least, the sun is out. Surely the water has drained away? | |

Would guess the groundstaff have asked for some time to clear away whatever water is still there and do some other work. |  |

Can I just say that the comments on the Dale Twitter thread from fans is abhorrent.
Vinny Suggs I hope you see this post. What the hell is your problem? All I ever see is abuse, snipes & negativity aimed at the club. Seriously mate, stop coming. The guy was basically going full conspiracy theory mode as if the club had an agenda to have the game postponed?
It’s the referees decision, it is absolutely nothing to do with the club!
These people need weeding out of the club. [Post edited 7 Jan 2023 13:51]

To be fair it is half a dozen bellends who are frustrated. I have been there when half way to Rochdale and we hear of a pitch inspection. Not sure why people living locally need to whinge.
Come on Dale... three points needed today | | | |
