Allarakhia at the AFCON
by meeee at 17:03 23 Dec 2025

He's in the starting 11 for Tanzania against Nigeria, half 5 kick off. The game is free to watch in the UK, either on Channel 4's streaming website or the tv channel 4Seven. From the previews I read he was expected to be starting on the bench but I believe he scored in Tanzania's last friendly so he's been rewarded with a start. Let's see how he gets on

Merry Christmas Daleys
by philofOAFC at 15:09 23 Dec 2025

Not been on for a while but popping on to wish all you Daleys a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

Dale are very well placed for promotion with being top with games in hand and I hope they continue and join your old rivals OAFC in the EFL next season, looking forward to A627/El Flat Capio/ El Crapico to recommence.

Hope to see you next season

Always seems to happen that someone iconic passes around this time of year. This guy never really courted the limelight but his songs will last a very long time, including of course, Driving Home For Christmas

My favourite was the lesser-known Giverny

Without trying to sound all 'Oldham' wouldn't it be wise to make this game all ticket for away fans, doesnt the away end hold around 1300 or so. Id imagine there will be a decent amount travelling over

FIFA gouging the fans again
by Nigeriamark at 12:10 12 Dec 2025

https://www.bbc.com/sport/foot


Unbelievable pricing policy for this World Cup. I am currently doing 53 nights in Australia, Tickets to every day of every test, all accommodation and flights for about 10% more than 1 middle tier ticket for the final.

People will say it's market forces, but seems like a rip off to me. However I am sure it will be a sell out as will all the big games. shame for the loyal fans who watch their team regularly but will not be able to afford this WC

Carlisle v Woking
by dingdangblue at 09:41 10 Dec 2025

Unfortunate fixture for us tonight in that we will most probably lose our top spot without being able to do anything about it until we play Altrincham on 19th December. We will have 3 games in hand over Carlisle after tonight so its still very much in our own hands - it is nice to see us top of the league though!

INJURIES
by Edindale at 14:21 7 Dec 2025

Slightly concerned about our injury list and the severity of the injuries being sustained. Some of these appear to be training injuries.

It is expected that Rodney will miss a fair few games but unfortunately this coincides with Smith's injury. However Beckwith is particularly a blow and could disrupt our rhythm unless Galvin can provide cover at CB.

A fair few of the squad wont be match fit but good to see Pritchard back although Allarakia has raised his game in recent weeks. Hopefully Manni can stay fit through the festive period and regain his scoring touch!

Will be interesting to see how BJ shuffles the pack next week at Leamington.

RIP Peter Appleton
by ChaffRAFC at 22:17 6 Dec 2025

A very sad loss to the Rochdale fan base.

"Big Apps" Peter Appleton, a larger than life character and Dale supporter since the 60's has unfortunately lost a short battle with cancer having beaten it earlier this year and rang the bell. He passed away peacefully at Christie's in the early hours of Friday morning.

I know plenty on here will know Peter, his son James and his wife Karen who works at the club and his passing is awful news and he'll be sorely missed by anyone who knew him.

Rest in peace Big Apps, and Up The Dale!
