I'm under the impression that the Ogden's are investing not solely in the football club but.....and MORE importantly in my humble opinion......in the wider community of Rochdale. The success of either / both the towns' football / rugby club will naturally bolster the community....bringing that feel good factor. Can we simply not let bygones be bygones and look to the future for the sake of our floundering local COMMUNITY??

'The Crown Oil Cruiser'??
at 09:15 29 Mar 2024

The Community Trust have organized recent events at the COA surrounding Ramadan (10th March - 9th April) in conjunction with Rochdale Council of Mosques (x17 mosques). Rochdale inter- mosque football tournament (via Youth Connections) had x24 teams playing last June. Eid Al-Fitr 2024 is 9th / 10th April which correlates with our Tuesday night home fixture v Boreham Wood. Why not boost the crowd for that particular evening with reduced / free tickets for the aforementioned organisations?
......EAF @ COA....the potential is there for all to see!! ;)

Was that the infamous 'Middleton Marauder'? With all due respect, circa 2000 was the Man Utd golden years with Middleton being an M24 postcode. If community is going to be the foundation on which we rebuild our beloved club then we surely need to look at the demographics of the town. Census 2021 (97% response) indicates that the population of Rochdale was 223,773 (74% White / 19% Asian / 4% Black / 2% Mixed / 2% Other). This equates to 26% of Rochdale residents being from a BME (Black Minority Ethnic) background which in itself equates to 58,180 people / prospective new fans. Historically, this particular section of Rochdales' diverse and multi- cultural community has been hard to tap into in terms of a fanbase. Census 2021 indicates that Rochdales' BME community feels like they don't have BME role models to aspire to in their own community. If the club had player/s representing the towns' Asian community then I am pretty sure that we could be on to a winner!! Zesh Rehman (Fulham) / Samir Nabi (Kidderminster Harriers) / Rahis Nabi (Alvechurch) and Tabish Hussain (Guiseley) all came through their respective clubs academies and have represented Pakistan at international level......so why not Dale?? ;)

Rochdale is, ofcourse, the birthplace of the co-operative movement. In my opinion this should be MASSIVE in terms of sponsorship opportunities and potential revenue; especially from from the CO-OP chain itself. I've also mentioned previously that Rochdales' twin towns could prove a valuable source of spreading the word / matchday experiences etc. We have a brand new regional attraction in the town centre called Rochdale Town Hall )15 minute walk / 5 mins bus ride to the COA). Get the 'Crown Oil Cruiser' picking up from there on the way from the Deeplish / Hamer areas?? Get the Crown Oil tankers advertising the next home game?? Reintroduce the Goldbond with agents being the face of the club in the community. Dale walking clubs focusing on community physical / mental health with participants resting their weary legs at 3pm on a match day. The Radcliffe Arms becoming a social hub for the local community. Rebuilding relationships with Rochdale Hornets (reduced admission for season ticket holders of both clubs)......and that's just a start!! :)

Have been reading about Blackburn Rovers' attempts at engaging local ethnic minority youngsters by way of operating 'The Ewood Express' (bus) on ocassional match days. Apparently a huge success....£8 per ticket including return transport and match ticket.....just a thought!!

With the addition of Mcdermott and East in midfield.....it would appear that the anticipated return of Johnson might prove to be unlikely??
