Hi all, I've re-registered after a long absence (ex Chepstow Dale!) I'm a Dale fan living in South Wales and deliberately haven't commented on Hill and Flitcroft leaving until I had time to think about it properly. And believe you me I have been thinking about it a lot! 1 - Disappointed they both left 2 - Particularly after Hill said he wasn't going 3 - Even more so after Barnsleys raid on Parkin and Ford a few years ago - hope they both do well but don't want Barnsley to do well - does that make sense? But, I think they both brought to Rochdale what Rochdale needed - Team Rochdale. There is no doubting that they are the best management duo we have had for a long time, but time moves on. We are Rochdale, simply Rochdale, and no one person is bigger than our club. We've lost players & managers before: Whitehall, Connor, Reeves just to name a few and we are in League 1 - what I'd like to see is Dale go forward and show Hill and Flickers what they had, and how they made the wrong decision. Full respect to them and I admire the enthusiasm Flickers had, but lets move upwards and either play Barnsley in the Championship season after next or be a division above them! One last comment - Jack the kit man - you are one top bloke - up the Dale! Right, better make sure my Dale flag is clean for the trip to Wembley tomorrow - come on England! | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |
