I think Saturday was to 'test the system''. It appears it is testing
certain fans more.
It may be more productive as D_Alien says to contact the CAB or the
Clubs fan liaison officer, Ruby (?) fanservice@rochdaleafc.co.uk and
from what's gone before I'd guess the club will be reasonably
proactive/reactive

I wonder if Jim, who played under BBM, was overly influenced by
the style of play he had been used to playing and Gibbons in
his ear,
Hopefully now with different people to bounce off he will be less pragmatic
We can only hope so

Signing #6 inbound...

But there lies the problem TS.
Keepers are quite happy to be 3rd even 4th choice higher up the pyramid as they are still dragging good money. Money way above what we could afford. We either go for a full time keeper of less ability or stick with JMs strategy of mixing and matching throughout season. We will get good ones
like Moulden who will then be picked off to be 2nd string in say a Championship club or ones of a lesser ability that we keep for a full season.
The keeper is a crucial position but would we swop Mani for a good goalkeeper?
These decisions are what JM is paid to make and for the board to sanction (or not)

Sure is Judd
Amazing what can happen when you're not looking
over your shoulder to where the next penny is coming
from.
The Ogdens seem committed to further education aligned
with the football club, which can only be a positive going
forward.
Hopefully, if we get back to the Fl, then more good
news can follow re the reinstatement of the academy.

Twelve months on...the return of the feel good factor?
at 12:25 2 May 2025

Rumour has it that there was 'an arrangement' between
Rawlinson and the then Ratcliffe manager re extra barrels
being ordered on the Club account but not ending up in
the clubs cellar
Again is that a coincidence that once he was removed that
Rawlinson's, Westrose Leisure Ltd was struck off
at Co House shortly after ?

Jan Wormald, Guy Courtney and Tony Pockney.

Lot of noise on X about £1 to get in. This won’t happen as Spennymoor
A- have to agree and
B - they get half the takings after expenses . So they’ll want a decent pay day out of us.
Saturday was £15 so wouldn’t be surprised if it was the same. I’d like to see it brought down
to £10 with £5 for concessions.

Solihull Match Thread
at 07:41 16 Sep 2024

My thoughts are that we started well enough but the game changed after about 15 mins. Dale had a corner and were about to recycle the ball when. Surprise surprise their GK went down with a mystery injury forcing the ref to stop the game and our momentum. All the SM players went over to the bench and they then changed their style of play by pressing us quicker and higher up the pitch. This led to their goal and after that whilst we ‘may’ have controlled the ball Solihull controlled the game. We only came back into it in the last 10-15 mins.
FWIW. I’d like to see McNulty play a 3-5-2 (or whatever you call it) and start with East, Gilmour and Henry as a central midfield with the 3 defenders and wing backs as they are. Henry and East are both creative leaving Gilmour to play the Gary Jones role of ‘ratting’ and getting in and amongst the opposition midfield. It might even allow us to play through the midfield more effectively. Rodney is wasted in his current role and this formation would allow him to play his more natural role. He’s much more of a threat up top and would give Mitchell much needed support. We have still plenty of options off the bench to change things if necessary.
Oh and whilst in theory resting players is a good idea, I’d start with my strongest line up every match. It seems to me that McNulty is rotating for the sake of it.

Errm. Well spotted Miss Marple. Bet you hate losing at Cluedo.
Just saying it just might put what our groundstaff have to deal
with working with a lot less money in to some sort of context

Anyone seen the state of Bradfords pitch tonight
might put things in perspective
They have a bigger fan base = money and it’s still
a shite pitch. So maybe, just maybe, our groundstaff
are doing a decent job

Not sure how it works but if he is deselected can he still stand ?
Or will he withdraw himself from the ballot. If he doesn’t then
IMO he’s a fool as it will do Labour more harm than good

Buying more shares?

Your right re season tickets (imo). I think that they’ve been underpriced for the last 2 to 3 seasons.
easy maths but say an extra £50 on a full day price ticket next season would possibly bring in an extra £75k.

It’s alright having all of the questions TS. But where’s your answers ?
Think it was Richard Knight that said at either the fans forum or EGM
That he’d be a lot happier sat asking the questions rather than answering
them. The shareholders have every right to oust this board as they did
with the last one. If that’s what you want then rally the shareholders
and vote them off. There are plenty plenty on here who ‘say’ they can
do a better job so perhaps now is the time for them to step forward.
Not sure this board would go meekly as they have so much money tied
up in shares and now loans

Nevett coming on might have been a better option.
Whilst he’s still a little lightweight as a defender
He’s more of a ball playing CH who can see a pass.
It could have given us more options with him stepping
up into midfield with the ball

This is a big part of the problem. How much money of this circa £2billion will be spent on home grown talent and how much is going overseas ? Any money spent on home grown has the potential to trickle down the pyramid
If there was a 10% levy on overseas transactions then that would put £200 million into the FA/FL coffers for distribution. 5%=100 etc. (That’s obviously assuming all 2billion was overseas).
A sizeable chunk that could be used to put extra funding in to our own academies.
Wont happen of course
