Directors, coaches and players all come and go, but the fans should be there forever. If you've supported the team through the good times, you owe it to the crest to support them through the bad.

See you all next Sunday..

Dunno I was about 6 it was in 1968 at Thrum Hall, my first memories are when I was 10 winning the John Player Trophy at Odsal.
I will be going to Keighley but I need a break as mentally I am shot after today it drained me and was no pleasure at all so giving it a miss, my first game of this season I will have missed.

You've clearly seen this club go through more ups and downs than most, and I respect your decision regarding next week.

I asked my initial questions out of curiosity. I'm interested to know if supporters are losing interest now because they have witnessed GF and NRC success in the last 4 years and are now finding it difficult to support a losing team. You, me and plenty of others who will be reading this have witnessed some great moments in our clubs history over the years, but we have also witnessed some real lows. It seems some people are choosing now to give it all up, yet the same people I'm sure we're rallying round for the club through those dark days in the mid 2000's.

I will be there. If things aren't going well I'm going to streak on the pitch during the second half.

Will anybody notice?

I see many people with opera glasses on matchdays but I fear they may need binoculars.

Re: Rochdale : Mon May 12, 2014 12:47 pm  

I'm going with 3 others. Disappointed yesterday but onwards and upwards, ever the optimist! Hoping it's just a blip to lull other clubs into a false sense of security!! The team needs our support more than ever right now.
