Nail on the head... At this current, precarious, point of the club's history what really matters is points on the board and getting back into the league (4). Fans through the gates will never sustain the club long term. As we have seen from our most successful period of history, the academy and player development leading to sales are the key. The Brighton model being the pinnacle example of what we were doing under Hill. Reputation snowballs and we were renound as a "place to go " for young talent. Get back into the league, get the academy back and get the network/channels/filters up and running again, that is above everything else. As has been described by Jim several times, they have gone into every last detail (switching 2nd half ends for example) in an effort to squeeze as much advantage as possible; Fitz has highlighted stats that this method has borne rewards. The football is often terrible to watch, I'm feeling in danger of social services feeling my collar for forcing my boy to watch; but needs must currently, and our need is promotion. |

Well done the Dale. Played really well, had to dig in a grind that result out. Big up the keeper as well, made some great saves! |

I can't even get the feed to load. Can see others crystal clear. Got to the point where I look forward to away games as there is an actual chance to watch the game. Gotta be shite infrastructure at Dale as too often to be a coincidence... |

Well, that is a lovely memory, but we're talking about passing, not shooting... ░░▄█▀▀▀░░░░░░░░▀▀▀█▄ ▄███▄▄░░▀▄██▄▀░░▄▄███▄ ▀██▄▄▄▄████████▄▄▄▄██▀ ░░▄▄▄▄██████████▄▄▄▄ ░▐▐▀▐▀░▀██████▀░▀▌▀▌▌ |

The CRAB meister himself. I enjoy reading comments about "too much sideways passing"; when the man, seen by many as the GOAT, spent his career at Dale squeezing the ball out of his pincers to the left and right wingers... |
