I do too, but I wasn't suggesting in anyway that Galloway should be voted for or not or even suggesting a vote for anyone.. i pointed out the fact that Galloway had in fact
raised in parliament and with ministers and officials other issues regarding the town including football. Like Waugh, Galloway has many media commitments. None of them live here though Galloway is in the Town when Parliament is not sitting and Waugh will spend time up here from his Richmond Park home when Parliament isn't sitting.
I am so glad we will not have a Tory government after the election. Whether it's independent Galloway or Labour whipped Waugh who is our MP, won't make a difference to if we have Starmer or Sunak as Prime Minister. People should vote for who they believe will do the best job to represent them and their family and the town, including the Dale.
Also I make what the real point of the opening post, Waugh is not the only Dale fan to vote for, Martyn Savin is a season ticket holder too, can't find any info as to if any of the others are too. [Post edited 13 Jun 8:22]

The Green Party candidate is also a Dale season ticket holder, in from reading his election pitch to Rochdale Online, also a born and bred Rochdalian who lives in Rochdale. I believe going off previous election photos he is a Pearl Street ender. I don't know him, or Paul Waugh, and don't recognise him, but just post this for balance.
To be fair to Galloway, he did do an excellent speech in parliament about how broken football is, and has been doing his job of raising the issues of the town in parliament in the house and with government ministers and officials. Not that he has delivered a new maternity hospital, but has raised it with ministers. |

I fail to see why the Labour candidate would attract independent voters. Surely a Labour MP , part of the Labour government will be part of it's machine, Galloway like him or not, or his policies is surely more of an independent than the Labour or Tory candidates. If the attraction of Waugh is him being a Dale fan and local lad, is that enough? Before I voted for him I would need to know that he wouldn't simply be voting fodder for Starmer, what are his policies. Even Galloway has been raising in Parliament about football governance, Rochdale maternity services etc, and showed a willingness to work with the Club if he can do anything. I have no doubt that Waugh will be fantastic at representing the Dale in the role of an MP, should he get elected.
There is absolutely no doubt that the next government is going to be a Labour led one, just might not be Starmer, if he loses his seat. |

Reply | Independent football regulator - it's happening

Just hope that the football regulator will do a better job at holding the football authorities to account, than as an example the Water Regulator Ofwat does with water companies. In theory this is good, only time will tell if it does what we need to happen. |

The vast majority of the Asian population were not placed here, they were either born here or emigrated here to be with family already here. I agree re asylum seekers, too many are placed here without adequate support for them and the town. |
