A win on Tuesday and we finish 4th (74 points) with a game to go could finish on (77).

This would set up a home eliminator tie v 7th… likely to be Southend Gateshead or Halifax…

There is quite a bit at stake on Tuesday hoping we get the 3 points to open up all of Jim’s options regarding squad rotation.

Brilliant yesterday Dale! Big Jim and the players getting it spot on…

The type of football we can all get on board with yesterday was a country mile from the possession based walking football we have seen earlier this season.

It’s great we have addressed somebody getting onto the ball that’s fizzed across goal.. so much better in all departments.

Rodney Henderson and Ayinde to start on Tuesday up front and carry on from this…. Mitchell and Bird introduced final 30 minutes let’s cement 4th place on Tuesday and then get ready for the play off eliminator at Spotland!.

Absolutely top notch yesterday.


Final note agree Hartlepool played there part it could have been 4-4 at HT!!!

A win tomorrow would put maximum pressure on Oldham for that 4th Spot.

Looking at how it might play out 4th v 7th with the winner avoiding York in the semi final.

Lots of ifs and buts and variables of course and regardless of who we might play it becomes a 3 game shoot out to achieve promotion finishing 4th 5th 6th or 7th!!

Disappointing again yesterday just when we get a few missing fans back from the previous home game.

Less said about the first half the better.

On a plus note a win at home on Saturday cements a play off spot and then we are into a straight 3 game shootout for promotion.

68 could be enough now with the significant positive goal difference. Those 2 extra points that we dropped yesterday mean mathematically Dale not quite over the line.

Need to kick on though for the home eliminator tie.

It’s very quiet on here considering Dale have a very important home game kicking off in just over 3 hours time.

Hoping for the perfect Easter with a resounding home win and 3 points in the bag come 5pm.

Up the Dale

Possibly the result of the season so far…

Brilliant first half and showed some tenacity to dig deep in the second.

Onwards to Monday… this team are more than capable let’s hope this momentum rolls past Monday into the season finale….

Up the Dale!!!

That 3 points was for you JT! Xxx

Devastating news.

My thoughts are with his family and friends especially his wife and young children.

Life just is not fair is it.

71 points will be more than enough I think.

We could be home and hosed by 5pm Monday if we have the perfect Easter.

Should be looking to win every game now and secure that home eliminator tie… Alty will be viewing Friday as a must win… get toe to toe with them and more of the same from yesterday!!

Well done to Jim and the Team a perfect response at the perfect time.

Front foot attack minded Dale could have had 5 / 6 goals yesterday.

Onwards now to a huge Easter weekend and a chance to get that first away league win in 2025.

Up the Dale.

The miss by Mitchell first half when 1v1 with the keeper is horrendous.

Keeper on the floor committed and Kairo just rolls the ball into his legs… along the floor no attempt to lift the ball over him.

Under zero defensive pressure it’s moments like this that frustrate fans…

With only 3 home games left it would be a real disappointment to not have 2200 home fans on Saturday.

Especially if we can win tonight at Sutton!.

3 points would be great and the players will want to show there is plenty left to enjoy this season.

Betfair cant split the sides.

Sutton 7/5

Dale 7/5.

It is no easier to take on Sunday morning for me also..

firstly 442 is one of us and isn't the enemy, I agree with chunks of what he is trying to say..

The day started badly with the turnstile fiasco.. see the separate thread. The experiment of the drum and the singing section imploded they have to be back in the Sandy lane ASAP as Yoof who cannot behave are either aligned with or drawn towards this section of support. the full time scenes just unacceptable and disgraceful. Lifetime banning orders have to be issued to send the correct message.

First half was a non event Dale not landing a blow and lucky not to be 0-1 down at half time.

Improved second half but poor decision making by the team and an inability to see out a game raising its head for the umpteenth time this season. Two really poor goals to concede and why the keeper is not punching that cross clear 90+4 is a mystery.

The header blazed over at 2-1 was as poor as the missed penalty. The stuttering 2 yard run up to make it 5-5 never filling me with any confidence.

Can the players recover from that as there is one more shot left of glory this season? sadly not if the tactics and body language carry on from yesterday.

This can work one of two ways, maybe we will see a reaction from the players on Tuesday but more importantly at home in front of 2000 on Saturday v Eastleigh.

What a missed opportunity by the club off the pitch and the players on it.

It really was a shambles..

The club are miles off sadly (Project 5000).

Yesterday aside from abject football was a disaster. Every turnstile needs to be open ideally by 1.30 with fully briefed staff on hand with a simple mission of helping fans, new, lapsed and existing get into the stadium quickly and safely with the minimum of fuss.

Yesterday was badly organised and not thought through at all for one stand holding a shade over 1500 people. Goodness knows where we go from here.

11am - 4 hours to kick off.

I bet Rochdale Cricket Club is bouncing at Midday!!

Shame we cant create a fan zone under a temporary structure at Spotland.

Looking forward to the game..

Up the Dale..
