Are we playing for that on Saturday? Are we the current holders?
There was a match at Spotland, in the dim and distant past, that made the papers because a police horse had to clear battling fans off the pitch. Ah! The good old days. |  |

NO, sure I read that it’s the Ernie Cooksey trophy this year as it’s 10 years since his passing |  | | |

This is one for us old uns straight out of the archives you kids know nowt, It adds to the rich tapestry of life in a bygone age following Dale. I was at the match in question, the sight of a mounted policeman galloping down the main stand touchline towards the Oldham fans, who had encroached onto the pitch from the Sandy was a sight to behold all that was missing was a bugle. I've never seen anybody move so fast launching themselves over the fence getting out of the way. | |

Ernie Cooksey what a top bloke he was.
10 years it seems like yesterday what a travesty.
Should be a good one to see where the Dale are at as a team at this stage of pre season.
First League 1 game is 2 weeks tomorrow!!  | | | |

It's actually 11 years; he died in July 2008, a month before we played Oldham in the Carling Cup. |  |

I think it was 1969 and we won 5-1. We had passed oldham on our way up to Div 3. All in the name of a ‘friendly’! | | | |

Correct, the Sunday Mirror even had a large photo of the police horse at the side of the pitch in front of the main stand trying to keep battling supporters apart under the headline Football Is Back!! [Post edited 19 Jul 2019 21:17]

2-2. Two good goals by us, two awful ones to concede. Still some ridiculous choices to pass when near our own goal. |  |

Our best defensive displays at the end of last season we had Ebanks Landell and Nthle in a back 3. |  |

Going forward we looked very good. Camps really suits playing 30 yards further forward than he was under Hill and was good to see Done look dangerous as well. The build up for all three goals was excellent.
Now onto the defence, we absolutely cannot, under any circumstances, go into the new season with McNulty and Delaney as our centre half partnership. McNulty only played well last season next to Ebanks-Landell and next to Delaney, the pair of them are like having McArdle and Boardman back. We will have to wait to see what O'Connell adds to this lineup but I went into the game today thinking another centre back was a priority and now I'm absolutely certain we have no choice but to bring a new centre half in. We look awful defensively. Wade didn't fill me with confidence at all either in all fairness. Aaron Morley was our best centre back today, that tells you everything.
Jonny Smith looked very quick and played a big part in the third goal for Hendo in the build up with Pyke but would like to see him start, rather than being part of the mix-up of substitutions but I've seen enough to see there's something there. |  |

Agreed though we also have to re-think our tactics no matter who plays at CH. Just because the rules have changed so you can now pass a goal kick to a player in the area doesn’t mean we have to. Fine, if there’s nobody about but we’ve seen enough incidents in the last two games to know it will cost us goals. | |

I thought that the " Cavalry " charge was the 2-0 FA Cup game about that time. I have vivid memories of the Police Horses ( I thought there were two ) trotting down from the top of the " Kop " at the Church Inn end, leaping over the boundary wall and galloping the full length of the touch line on the Main Stand side. Blokes were diving head first over the wall to get away ! When the horses got to the Sandy Lane end they turned around and galloped back, by then the pitch was empty of idiots.
Who nobody got trampled I'll never know.
If my memory serves me well there were 12,000 plus on that day.
I think Oldham invaded the pitch when they went 2-0 down and they could see the writing on the wall. | | | |

It's clear to see that Delaney has become a real issue. His defending for the 1st goal was amateur. Mind you the Oldhsm number 4 subbed after 20 mins was dreadful |  | | |
