What a week! 17:42 - Mar 19 with 5340 views | boromat | Two derby wins, Hilly's 400th, bought the stadium and a pub. Feels like all our Christmas' have come at once! I don't want to get our hopes up but 4 points off the play offs we can dream! Up the Dale! | |

What a week! on 17:46 - Mar 19 with 4002 views | TalkingSutty | I think it's the most satisfying week of my Dale supporting career without a doubt.I can't think of a better one. We needed a performance today to make up for last season and the team delivered on a sand pit of a pitch. They did the fans proud and in turn I thought our vocal support was tremendous. I've got a headache with all the singing, time for a Chimay Blue!! [Post edited 19 Mar 2016 17:51]

The atmosphere was fantastic today , when camps rocketed in our 3rd the roof almost came off. Thought we played better with 10 men after hendo had one of his moments again (will he ever learn)? We are on a roll and let's hope it continues.......well done to all the lads for a well deserved victory.... | |

It seems he won't learn, so he can sit out the next couple of games and hope he has to fight to win back his place, because it shouldn't be automatic, that'd be disrespectful to the lads who stayed calm enough to ensure a fantastic victory today and pick up all the plaudits from the fans at the end. Hilly included - seemed to be shrugging his shoulders as if to say "no idea how I do this"! | |

After this week we can say that Hilly does do local derbys after all. They all need a big pat on the back,they made the fans proud. Jim McNulty looked over the moon at the end of the game,he seems like a nice bloke. [Post edited 19 Mar 2016 19:46]

Is it better being in the Chaddy Lane end? Would have thought it gives a bette4 atmosphere for away fans. | |

Crap stand, crap view, but better acoustics than the Rochdale Road end. Never heard their fans once, even though they had some kids singing in a corner like at Accrington. They had a decent attendance but the crowd didn't get behind the players for some reason. There was a strong stench of relegation about the place. | | | | Login to get fewer ads
What a week! on 21:10 - Mar 19 with 3287 views | Swissdale | Securing the long term future of the club with a stadium purchase, and two great wins against our biggest two rivals. Surely has to be up there with the best week in the history of Rochdale FC. | | | |

Cheers for that. Thought that would be the case, re the acoustics and view. | |

I am not able to go to many games, so the ones I choose are the ones at Spotland to benefit OUR club rather than another's. Is that ok? | |

Don't get the need for these personal digs. We are all dale fans. Don't know 1mark1 but quite a few on here do and I gather from them that he lives and breathes our beloved club. Hope you can get to a few games mark | |

Cheers 100notout. There are many Dale fans unable to get to matches for various reasons. Never stops me from be very happy when we win, and unhappy when we lose. I am proud of my previous Dale supporting history over the years when we were around 92nd best in the league, going up and down the country , but I was able to do so. | |

Agree. Don't know the poster but maybe he struggles financially to get to games, or his work/ personal life doesn't allow it, maybe he has health issues, who knows? I don't think he's answerable to anybody on this forum anyway is he? | | | |

Cheers TalkingSutty. There are various reasons, some mentioned, why sadly I am unable to watch the Dale as often I would like to. That will be the same with others too. I do however always prioritise home games. Yes as well, I always wear the Dale colours while out and about, Dale coat, bobble hat 😀 [Post edited 26 Mar 2016 15:38]

Not sure if it's a personal dig, someone's asked a reasonable question to somebody who spends a lot of time on this forum but doesn't attend. However, fair play to Mark has replied as he normally does. So lets all be a happy slappy Dale family. Up The Dale. | | | |

To be fair I bet there are quite a lot who post on this forum but don't attend many games.Being able to attend most of the matches or having a Season Ticket is a bit of a luxury these days, it's a very expensive hobby. I know people who haven't been for years but attended games regularly decades ago, people's life's change. Anybody who posts on this forum, apart from the obvious few, have to be termed as real supporters otherwise they wouldn't be wasting their time on the forum. What I am trying to say is, you don't have to attend games to be a supporter or offer an opinion. [Post edited 26 Mar 2016 15:44]

Quite right. I have the same feelings now when we win or lose as I did when I was in the UK and able to get to games. Dale still is, and always will be, my team. I now have another team I watch week in, week out and I sit there with my headphones in listening to the Dale commentary. I could well be wrong but is the poster having a bit of a pop at 1mark1 the same as the chap who had a pop at Peter Vincenti on twitter? | |

Bit different for you pal seeing you live on t'other side of the world and their are a few more exiles as well, but i reckon most of the posters on here are probably regular goers. The thing is, is how many United/City fans etc do we all know who sit in the pub watching Prem games and they get slagged off for being arm chair supporters and such.Can you have it both ways? This isn't a pop at Mark by the way, just an observation about how different people perceive others as supporters. | | | |
