Back in Acc

Dale boss John Coleman will take his new squad to his old stomping ground in July as Dale take on Accrington Stanley in a testimonial match for their former gaffer.

In what is a rather unusual friendly, Dale will take on League Two rivals Accrington Stanley in a game on Saturday 14th July in a game that has long been promised to Coleman. Admission for this game has been reduced to £10 for adults and £5 for kids.

Another friendly has also been announced, with Dale travelling to Radcliffe Boro on Wednesday 11th July. Dale have played the Evo Stik NPL Premier Division side a few times in pre-season over the years, and the relationship between the two sides grew stronger following our purchase of Craig Dawson three years ago.

Amongst the ranks at Stainton Park is former Dale youth player Ben Wharton who made one appearance for Dale as a 90th minute subsititute away at John Coleman's Accrington Stanley.

Annual accounts show that the club will have to sell players if we don't go up
The club released the annual accounts for the 2022/3 season this week, and despite the headline figure of an overall loss of £33.7 million, we’re not in danger of any points deduction for now. But the accumulated losses mean that player sales will be inevitable in the summer if we remain in the Championship.

Stuart Dallas thanks the fans as tributes pour in
Stuart Dallas battled hard for two years to return to the game after his serious injury, but has now had to accept that he can no longer get back to the level of fitness needed to play the game at the top level. Club Chairman Paraag Marathe led the tributes, and the player has sent an emotional open letter to all the Leeds United fans.
