My goodness, what was that, I’m in the Cem who are donating hundreds of pounds for the legal funds to keep the club alive. Fans have just arrived back from Sutton having watched a complete capitulation. Your team selection and tactics are beyond comprehension, tippy tappy at the back, lose possession and concede, it really is embarrassing. We need leaders on the pitch but more than that a leader off the pitch, sort it out please, you are in charge of a club loved by many who have a history of being not very good but you are lowering our average massively. What you are delivering is complete crap not worthy of Sunday League, as the often saying is” if you keep doing the same thing and expect to get a different result you are mad” sic . FFS get a grip |

I, along with many of my friends are completely frustrated by our tactics, defensively what is going on? Conceding 2 goals from corners yet again, but, 2-1 up and defending with 11 players in the penalty area, why, why, why? If it works OK but once again we concede. Leave 1 player up front means they have to leave two to defend, 2 and they need 3. We are 2-0 up against 10 men and we defend, ffs, what is going on, we could have won by 4 or 5 but instead defend. And Mr Graham why on earth are you walking around dragging your feet? You are playing for a team that will be there long after you’ve stopped playing, enjoy it, its the best time of your life, but I feel that at 65 I’d enjoy it more than you, I take size 9, fancy lending me your boots for the next game? |

1. Ticketless is good but do we only have 2 turnstiles each for the Sandy and main stand? Was a problem today and could get worse
2. Surely sales on the day can be accommodated without problems.
3. Entrance to the Radcliffe at half time again was ridiculous, jobsworths saying we’ve only got 120 tokens , you’ll have to wait until someone comes out!!!!!! Eventually just prior to start of second half everyone is allowed in. Thought this had stopped after the famous director telling everyone to FO.
4. The fans are desperately trying to keep this club in supporters hands and the club still seem to be trying to put supporters off.
1 have a cash turnstile until everyone understands the system, other clubs do it why can’t we? There a re bigger queues outside Spotland than Old Trafford, can’t be right, do we only have 2 turnstiles each for the Sandy and the main stand? If that’s right, what happens when we have a big crowd?
2. Supporters in the Sandy just want to go in the bar at half time, 120 tokens is stupid, we’re Rochdale, all the crowd can fit in the bar without breaching fire regs, stop alienating people.
3. Without supporters the club is nothing, please appreciate us.

On re-signing we are told he’s fit and raring to go, but now sat in Park Inn atWalsall see he’s again not even made the squad. Was encouraged by signings and hopefully a better last 16 games but surely if Clough is fit and raring to go he should make squad in front of Wilbraham |

Thread | Embarressed
at 20:51 15 Dec 2018
For the first time in over 50 years of watching the mighty dale I am embarressed. We lost after shooting ourselves in the foot twice, the away fans are laugining at us, because we are rubbish, pass back, pass back, pass back. Easy defend, pass back, keeper misses it. Ho up ho Merrfy Christmas. Here’s my solution, pick the best players I the best position and play them for a few games, let them get used to playing together and it will be OK. Do not play the best striker in the league in midfield doh doh, Homer had a point. If it doesn’t work sack it. |

Thought I was watching an episode tonight, the football was something I’d not seen from the Dale since the 1970’s. Awful to watch, players with no confidence and looking like they had been having a few beers and 20 Capstan Full Strength the night before i.e. bloody knackered, At least in the 70’s the players looked like they cared, after Northampton’s first goal we looked like little boys lost, terrible. For me the height of incompetency was our obviously rehearsed short corner where surprise, surprise we were caught offside, do we actually practise these things in training or do we hide behind the bike sheds? And don’t get me on penalties, have we really no-one who can take a penalty and score? Sorry, really frustrated, where has my team gone, again sorry, I’m wrong it's just that I had a dream that we had changed, I’ve woke up back where i was, I’m going watching this new group called Slade next week, have you heard of them, great new band, I’m sure they’ll be big? Halifax next week, going on the train, let’s get ready to rumble, Three Pigeons anybody? |

Just seen this on twitter, can he have please visit a football pitch soon? As an aside, for all the nonsense and rubbish from Lee Clark in his interview he at least made an attempt to update the injury situation at bury. Why can't we be told the injury status/ availability of players? |

Thread | Bitter taste about Sweetmore
at 11:20 30 Apr 2017
Apparently Dave Sweetmore has been given his job back for next season despite the club announcing Eden Bearshaw as his replacement. What a sad day for the integrity of RAFC. How can you give someone a job and then give back word on the last day of the season, this leaves a very bitter taste on a day that could go down in the clubs history. Trust has been severely compromised and I'm sure this will have a negative affect on season ticket sales. I for one had been a certainty but am now thinking of not purchasing. Sad sad day for the club. |

Thread | Goldbond - Opinion Please
at 18:51 21 Nov 2014
Having been a regular subscriber for many years I was pleasantly surprised to win a prize at last. I won two match tickets for tomorrow's game. The two tickets when they arrived were for the Pearl Street end. I am currently a Sandy regular so went to the club shop to see if I could swap the tickets for Sandy tickets to be met with a brusque "No exchanges, tickets are allocated at the start of the season!"
I was that surprised I just walked out. What does it mean? They are unallocated seating tickets. Neither the Sandy or the Pearl Street end will be full. Why can't I just exchange and go in my regular place?
I'm half inclined to stop my Standing Order for Goldbond. |
