Reply | Bury manager relieved of his duties after 2 days
at 23:58 14 Dec 2025
Wasn't there a James (surname I forget) during the hostile takeover / tyre kickers period of 2021 who reckoned he'd got a degree in Physics from Manchester Uni aged 17? Not believed, and failed fact checks by supporters and shareholders. It sounded implausible. Some "degrees" are.
I've also read two articles in Michael Jolley's name where he goes on about "returning the club (bury) to its rightful place in the EFL". This version of bury have NEVER played in the EFL so how can they return to it? One wonders how that fib impacted on the decision making of those easily weakened by delusion? Both bury's have form for it. |

Like what happened to bury. Paid the £12million you owe back yet?
Little pub team follower in a village league. You know it.
You've got the attention you so desperately crave. Happy to oblige. Merry Xmas, nob. |

Albeit 17:30 rather than the good old 19:00, but the board have timescales too. Might be difficult for shareholders with day jobs, but much better than a morning. The board accepted requests for a time change at the last AGM and have acted upon the promise they gave. |

Agreed - well worth a watch.

Shows the professionalism of the backroom staff (far and away better than some of the so called "physios" we've had over the years) and the dedication of the player.
Also, credit to the media team who are putting great material out there promptly, unlike some others in the NFL. |

Like the old reserve games of yore. Gave a few of ours a run out in a meaningless competition that the club gets some financial benefit from.
Very cold watching from the Main Stand, and the iciness transferred to the pitch causing a few slips on the surface. Hope the frost covers are on tonight. |

Reply | Refwatch - Tamworth v Rochdale
at 21:11 22 Nov 2025
I think his first name is really Tamworth. Shockingly inconsistent and favoured the home side massively.
A hard fought for three points, but how many shooting opportunities were wasted that would have a least offered the possibility of a goal if taken up? Could have made the game much easier on the pitch, and to watch off the pitch.
Was more a feeling of relief than joy when referee Tamworth blew the final whistle.
That said, top of the league will do very very nicely. Well done Dale (The team, not the ref). |

Kudos to the Test Match Special commentators. They thought this pitch would suit Stokes' bowling. An hour later he's on and gets five wickets! |

As I type, there is significant rainfall within the Spotland & Falinge Ward.
Tuesday isn't fab according to the BBC weather forecasters (who aren't perfect)
A club statement of how RAFC are dealing with this dilemma would be useful for all concerned. [Post edited 3 Nov 1:07]

As of this minute, been speaking to a former Trust member who's resigned, and has just received minutes of the Trust AGM 2025.
I don't know how the mailouts work, but as a current member, no AGM 2025 minutes have been received in my inbox or in junk mail.
Edit: They've just landed, after the non-member received them. [Post edited 24 Oct 0:06]

Brilliantly observed commentary as always. How good were Dale to watch? The tear-in at the end to Ferguson's snowflakery / $h1thousery mirrors how The Sandy saw his buffoonery last Saturday.
A phrase not used much nowadays, but a prime example of "how to make a rod for your own back." He'll end up at bury. [Post edited 23 Oct 11:15]

It was a pleasure to watch that Dale side today. Cool, efficient, brilliantly organised and always a man available to take a pass and move on.
We saw a bit of that last season, but no way did I think Jim would have us playing so well, so often. 11 wins out of 13 is beyond remarkable.
I could cite 6 out of that starting 11 today who played so well, any team in this league, and even the one above, would want them in their squads.
To date, the manager, his backroom staff and the players have got something exceptional going at RAFC. Long may it continue and credit their CV's, which will always benefit from having the "promotion" word inserted.
Stay here and finish the job you are more than capable of completing. UP THE DALE. |

Received the latest Trust newsletter via e mail this evening.
Nowhere within it is tomorrow's AGM mentioned. Prime time to remind people surely? |

Ref: The OP,
With our No.1 'keeper absent, it's essential we maintain our first choice defensive line-up to help Myles as much as possible. IMHO. No tinkering there please! |
