Apologies to all the NFL fans but a technical issue with the other thread was stopping people from being able to read the later posts. We aren't sure what happened here so thought it was easier to lock the previous thread and start a new one. I won't delete the thread so people can go back and read it if needs be, but it's locked now.
(Really hoping someone starts an NBA thread when we get going in a week or so! Just me? Oh).

There are some easy questions and some questions that might even have TVOS scratching his head... although I doubt it!
On this week's episode we're going to talk through the players mentioned in the thread of players we wish had signed for us but we're also open to any questions anyone has or things you'd like us to discuss. So fire away!
One of the ideas for a podcast topic that we've had is to talk about players we'd have loved to have seen in a Dale shirt, so for some inspiration I thought I'd ask - if you could have signed one player from an opposition team, who would it be? (Trying to keep it as realistic as possible, I don't think Harry Kane was about to jump ship from Spurs).
Kevin Ellison has to be up there for me. I remember when he signed for Morecambe my Dad said we should have gone for him but I told him he was too old. 9 years, 340 appearances and 81 goals later I think I've been proven wrong. Always got under the skin of opposition players and fans, could play in a few different positions and seemed to carry a constant threat, even in his advancing years.
On the other end of the scale - which players are you glad we never signed? I remember being quite heavily linked with both Tes Bramble and Shaun Harrad in the past only for both to sign for different local sides and neither quite lived up to expectations. Expensive bullets dodged on both occasions I think.

Dave from the Club Shop has sent me a link to the club's Ebay page which has plenty of match-worn gear on at the moment, some decent stuff to be had here.
With plenty of listeners suggesting we take a look at our favourite Dale XI of all-time, we thought we'd take the next few episodes to look through our favourites players in each position, starting with goalkeepers and defenders.
We talked through our shortlists for each position before selecting our players for these spots and come the end of the third episode of these specials, we'll be asking the listeners to select their favourite of the three teams.
If there's a similar uptake this week then we'll look to get it added to a few podcast apps such as iTunes etc going forward. Local band Lyerr have kindly agreed to allow us to use one of their tunes as intro music for future episodes and a few people that are or have previously been involved at the club have offered to feature on future episodes too.
It only took us being isolated indoors for the foreseeable future, but me and Chaff have finally got round to recording Episode 1 of our long-mooted podcast.
Neither of us are too experienced at this (and one of us, who shall remain nameless, may have forgotten to close his Gmail app before hitting record), so we're hoping you'll go easy on us for the time being.
We're hoping to bring you some Dale related content where possible during this period where people are looking for things to watch and listen to. So if you have any ideas of things you'd like us to talk about in the coming weeks as we look to produce a few episodes of this, please do let us know.
Dale's Esports team are attempting a marathon 24 hour FIFA Pro Clubs session this weekend and are attempting to raise money for Springhill in the process.
I keep forgetting how far Hendo is from the record(s) and after DDB posted them in another thread I thought I'd start this one to keep on top of how far away he is.
