First Dale Match On Film 14:36 - Aug 29 with 1582 views

Well here's one for our intrepidTVOS:
I've just read that the first time we were filmed was back in the 1910 - 11 FA Cup 2nd Qualifying Round, against Heywood United.

Is that in your archive? 🙂

Would that have been Dale as we are now or one of our predecessors?
And did we beat the Monkey Towners?

Don't know about the filming, Mike, but given we were formed in 1907...

It was an away game and we won 4-3.

If you don't know why your posts keep getting downvoted, there's no hope for you.

Proper derby match. I wonder where they played?

I can answer my own question. They were in the Lancashire Combination and played off Bamford Road. Sounds like the Phoenix ground when Heywood St James still play.

United folded during the Great War but it makes me wonder if St James were either formed from the players left from United or merely took over the empty ground.

Quite interesting.

I see that year we played 9 FA Cup games (incl. replays) over 6 preliminary rounds!!
