Just drove past & see they have installed rising barrier on the main car park entrance.
Wonder if this is one of the ground improvements or will it have a sentry box asking who are you on the way in?.... |  |

Seems like an odd purchase. Not sure where the value is there. |  |

So when i (or anyone else) drives up to the ground midweek to pick up a ticket, the barrier will be down?
This can't be allowed to stand as a legacy of the current regime, designed only to allow "carriages" through. Put simply, this isn't Dale - we've managed for well over a century without one, and what a waste of money
It must be removed as soon as a new regime is in place which works genuinely in the best interests of fans
And if the redundant barrier can be inserted forcibly up David Bottomley, so much the better
DB (Dale Barrier) OUT

The old gate was down and locked in the days leading up to the AGM. I was told it was so work could commence on the new gates.
We all know it was to try to hinder access to 100's of Dale Trust proxies being dropped off, as organised.
DB really thinks we're that stupid!
On the plus side, I got my leg over! |  |

What do you need most as a club when you’ve admitted you’ve lost £1m completing the 20/21 season and are short of cash?
A fooking car park barrier!
The positives:
1. We won’t have any players needing to park in the car park
2. We could possibly give it a dual use rather than signing a permanent keeper. |  |

Re: point 2.
Would Brian Barrier Murphy know how to operate it?

The day before the gates being shut, the shutters to the offices were pulled up just before an appointed emailed Trust drop off at 4.45.
Trust rep arrived at 4.35 witnessing DB driving off the car park. Turned a corner and all shutters were down!
They think we're stupid! | |

It's probable that we're the only club playing at the elite level without such a barrier gate at the car park entrance. | |

I'm sure we will be the envy of Barrow and Harrogate Town with our new shiny barrier.
There are two thoughts I have from this.
1. I can't wait to see the traffic chaos the one home game the barrier inevitably fails; cars trapped inside the car park unable to get out, traffic backing up Sandy Lane in both directions.
2. The CEO is planning for a Joy Hart style lock in and is making the necessary arrangements to make that as prolonged as possible.

This is bizarre. Crying poverty and then go wasting money like this.
Cost of this wants stopping out of DB’s wages. |  |

What message will it send out to fans wanting to pop up mid-week to buy something and they can't drive onto the car park?
Double yellows on Sandy Lane there as well.
Like Tracksuit Trevor blurted out "we're not bloody Manchester United. We're Rochdale!" | |

Even if the barrier doesn’t fail there will be queues as when someone presses the intercom to be let in the reply from some superior being will be “I have no idea who you are sorry” and they’ll have to reverse back onto Sandy Lane. [Post edited 6 Jun 2021 12:05]

Precisely
This type of barrier must be removed at the earliest opportunity
We need to become a club with no exclusivity, no barriers again

Have the club advertised for a 'rising barrier operator' yet, or an 'intercom communications operative'? |  |

That barrier looks like an accident waiting to happen.
It also looks like it has been put in on the wrong side (wouldn't it have made sense to put it on the right of the picture so it was not in the way) so it is becoming a hazard and god knows what they expect at the end of a game where there are lots of people milling around that area.
What that picture clearly demonstrates is the complete lack of vision.
In the background, the Ratcliffe bar. Needing a good lick of paint and some updated signage it doesn't mention Dale at all despite. The top part of the letter E has fallen off and there's a tatty banner above the door and an equally old sign on the right.
Where has the priority to spend the money been - a new barrier.
The first impression you get is that picture. Amazing that the vision just isn't there to see it and you don't need to issue a load of new shares to tidy it up. | |

I have thought for a couple of years, since the new fencing was put up at that entrance that mixing pedestrian and cars through a single gate was fraught with problems, being able to stop cars exiting after matches until the crowd has dispersed is a possible reason for this change.
The club is used during the day and presumably in the evenings for meetings etc. so the barrier needs to be open most of the time. |  | | |

I guarantee he will use the "it's to keep the travelling community out" line for an excuse to justify the 10k cost!
We need them up there. One of them might be able to play left back! [Post edited 6 Jun 2021 15:43]
