Watching that game was an absolute pleasure. The teamwork, skill, the forward looking initiatives, no aimless tippy tappy, and most obviously the desire to win that game from all our players gained the result they deserved. One hell of a benchmark to set for the remaining games. Be it new players, new backroom staff or lessons learned, Jim has achieved a standard I never expected he would. Jim said once that he wanted to send fans home happy. The smiles on the terraces during and after the game spoke volumes. Thank you. MOTM: Unsung hero Kyron Gordon. We have one hell of a player there. We don't look at league tables, do we?
Kyron Gordon was magnificent today. He usually is. We have one quality player there. His interview is excellent also. We played a good Alty side today who will cause most of this division problems. They had the ref in their favour. Jason Taylor sent off for a minor transgression of holding a ball too long in a game where multi-ball was available, but vicious 2 footed challenges by Alty only get a yellow. Go figure. Great to see the desire and attitude, bravery and determination from Dale, something lacking in recent years when we could fold. Heads didn't drop when one down. Thoughtful substitutions too, instead of the "lets defend a lead in a manner that rarely works" tactic. Signs of a lesson learned. Atmosphere has been mentioned in another post. The Sandy was different today without the younger voices but it was excellent in old school volume and getting stuck into unpopular opponents. Hutchinson and (derisive snort) Sassi got some stick and were clearly rattled. Heh. An exciting, nervy but very impressive and improved game to be at. 2 wins from 2 is the perfect league start. Nice one Jim.
Excellent turnout in Ratcliffe's today. Hope the club made a few quid. As said, poor first half, way too much time wasted playing boring Jimball when not under much threat. Great start to the second half, reasonable substitutions, and a post stopped it being 1-2 when we got sucked in to defending. When we had both our big lads up front (hallelujah, we have them!) we failed to provide adequate service to them to make it 0-3 or 0-4. A lesson to be learned. 3 points in the boot trumps all today. UP THE DALE
If this has been done before, apologies. What are your favourites, say why if you want. Not mandatory. Me? Old enough to have seen Sir Reg and his beyond powerful strikes. The schadenfreude as TK slotted that penalty away to the buckets hysteria (with best celebration ever) will never be forgotten, or laughed at. But favourite goal ever? We've seen some magnificent ones, but the occasion, the skill, the GOAT, 2nd v Leeds Utd. Share yours please. If video is possible, even better.
Word to the wise: If you are in the ground, and care to visit Ratcliffe's at half time, DO NOT bin or delete your ticket. On entry to the ground for the second half, you are now required to show your ticket to be let into the relevant stand.
According to the Dale Trust e mail received this evening, "We have participated at the Club board level by providing a Trust Board Director, which has been invaluable. As the holder of the “Golden Share,” we at the Trust view this position as vital for the future and it will continue. Although we currently have benign ownership, who knows what may happen when the Ogden partnership ends? For members to be able to sanction any changes affecting aspects of our historical heritage is seen as vital by the Trust."
It appears, if true, Dale Trust own the "Golden Share" (if so) in a move that has not been publicised by RAFC or Dale Trust anywhere else? Please correct me if it has.
There is a Dale Trust members meeting before tomorrow's game at 11 AM in Dale Bar. It isn't publicised in tonight's e mail. As in previous Trust correspondence. Hmmmm....
You got an easy one there, DDB. The original bury fc liquidated owing Twelve Million Pounds to honourable debtors. That is the one that is famous for its theft and criminality.
If today's bury fc is the same, and not "totally different", it owes lots of people a total of Twelve Million Pounds.
Again, very easy to buy tickets for our home friendlies. They're on the mobile phone now and backed up by e mails.
A user friendly (pardon the pun) system that works well for the fan and the club.
Much better than the system that served a narcissist's ego in preference to fan or club.
Great to have proper people running the club who know what they are doing rather than Roger the pretender. "Law of the land", being born in two towns and all that BS. We don't forget.
