Reply | Salford looking for investment......

I was at York’s stadium last weekend and did the full tour, something I didn’t manage when Dale were there last August.
The complex has commercial partners like a cinema and a bowling alley but also local authority amenities like a leisure centre including a swimming pool and a library.
This mix of private investment and public money really looks to work.
Could something like that work in Rochdale? And would it be an attractive proposition for the Ogdens? |

Am I right in thinking that until then Smith had mainly been used as a central defender since his arrival from Leeds? |

Is that around the time that Richley left out Vince Radcliffe and replaced him with Graham Smith at right back?
I think Radcliffe only played one more game that season, at centrehalf for Colin Parry at Scunthorpe in March? It was the only game that Parry missed and the team stayed remarkably free from injury.
Other people believe that the arrival of Dick Connor as coach in December was significant. |

You can’t accuse Fred and the board of not backing the manager around this time.
To find £5k for Buck was ambitious.
There had been an awful lot of 1-1 draws just after the start of the season with Steve Melledew seeming to score in most of them so the defence was pretty solid but these were converted into wins after Christmas. |

I’d completely forgotten about Terry Melling’s hat-trick.
He’d arrived the previous September to score goals and hadn’t really done so; he got three in one game and Dale went and bought Tony Buck!
I think we’d lost at Workington over Christmas but after that couldn’t stop scoring. Even Norman Whitehead scored with a header in this one!
What stuck in my mind as a 14 year old was the conundrum that such crap opponents played in such a massive stadium.
The way that Park Avenue was allowed to disappear as a venue was scandalous and that includes the county cricket ground next door. |

Griffiths got his in an FL Trophy game against Scarborough.
Am I right in remembering that he had scored two and then, when Dale were awarded a penalty late on, he was given the ball to complete his hat-trick? |

I don’t know where our new directors live or work but to my mind the fact they’re willing to come to Rochdale on a Monday speaks volumes for their commitment and attitude. |

One man who should be in demand is Joe Sbarra from Solihull.
Great record over the last few seasons. |

Speculation, and that’s all it is, that Ethan may go on a season long loan to Bolton if they get promoted. |

I go to the Shay occasionally, normally on a Tuesday night if Dale either have no game or are playing a long way from home. Just a short bus ride from Elland and it costs me nowt with my pass.
Talking of fees received for home reared players, there is a school of thought which says that we didn’t do badly from the sale of Luke Matheson but undersold the likes of Aaron Morley, Andy Cannon and Jamie Allen? |

I was always more or less reconciled to this happening, both by observing what has happened at other clubs, and by listening to George Delves remarks at the last Fans Forum.
Was pretty much inevitable. Sad news but the likes of Huddersfield operate in a similar way and concentrate on signing 16 year olds from other Academies so all is not completely lost. |
