Not much more to add.

Shocking from 1st minute to last.

Newport 3
Gillingham 4
Accy 5

This is a huge concern going we are going backwards.

No shots on target that I can remember, certainly not one with venom that tested Moulden.

There has to be a reset for Port Vale if we get a mauling their it will be very messy indeed the next home game at Spotland.

Next 3 home league games York Barnet and Bristol Rovers.. all 3 real tests.

Throwing objects onto the pitch is a criminal offence.

Some of the U block stripped the wires from inside the foam and launched them onto the pitch. It was bad enough pre-match in the warm up, throwing them when a Grimsby player was preparing to take a corner is an embarrassment and could land the club in trouble.

The club put the message on David Clough scoreboard quite quickly but to not follow this up with a statement regarding the potential negative impact looks to be turning a blind eye.

What is frustrating is the club look to encourage over zealous stewarding and then hand out items that led to this incident.

U block are a magnificent addition to the support and some will be reading this so hopefully they will have a word with themselves and self police any future urges they have to carry out poor decision making of this nature.

Sadly from the same U block corner.

York.. Now Grimsby.

The safe standing is a privilege... Any more shenanigan's take it away.

Total embarrassment.

Could have ended 5-5

Middletons shot before the Dale opener hooked off the line..

Brown at 2-2 as close to one on one as you can get... to not hit the target there is poor.

It was a great game.. end to end.. both sides going for it. Grimsby more than played there part they looked a good side and a real handful.

Huge problem for the club with last nights disgraceful behaviour in the corner. They really let themselves down throwing objects on the pitch (bizarrely provided by the club!). I have covered my thoughts on this in the Fan Services E Mail thread but basically a few banning orders would not be amiss. We will have the CCTV so blow the pics up and name and shame.

on another note...

We wand and pat down Doris and Frank for there wurthers originals...

And then hand out hundreds of missiles for (some) idiotic fans to launch onto the pitch..

The U block were an embarrassment last night. I hope there are some banning orders issued.

At least the potential garroting wire was illuminated so you could see if anyone was using it as a weapon or a missile...

Throwing them at players taking a corner is a very bad look for the club.

Can you air on here a indicator of the problem that needs sorting?.

It would be a huge backwards step by the club to not put any concern regarding younger fans front and central in the sort out as a priority stake.

As alluded massive progress in the majority of club opportunities and then this type of thing happens.

We know the club read this board (a good thing).

Thanks Judd,

i am not sure i agree. It will just lead to further over zealous stewarding (IMO).

The season ticket sticker does not have to say reserved it could say Season Ticket Seat - 2026/27 league games.

At least we now know which is more than before. The amount of times that the stands are full enough to create any tension is quite limited and that will remain until we surpass the project 5000 target.

1000 regular supporters who purchase match day tickets is fantastic news. Converting them to season ticket holders 27/28 has to be included in the master plan.

I think it’s pretty accepted that any away point is a one earned?

Especially in games when your second best like v Tranmere.

Anyway 3 decent looking games coming up. Crewe away then a Spotland double header Grimsby and Accy.

Dale found a way and the unbeaten LG2 run continues (5 league games).

I have no idea how.

Tranmere No 29 with the miss of the season, worse than Mike Fondop shooting wide at Spotland in the Oldham game. If it finished 3-1 we could not have complained.

There does seem to be togetherness building , something we had in spades last season and something that will serve us well as the season progresses.

Still work in progress with an injury list that gets longer with each game.

Its a strange league table at the moment. Crewe UNBEATEN in the opening 10 games and Dale could be just one point behind them come 5pm Saturday with an away win.

Again...

Nothing to fear here.

We are 4 x league two games consecutive without defeat (10 points) Hoping the recent upturn of form and fortune continues on Saturday.

Tranmere 2 points from 12 available in the same 4 game period.

The bookmakers however have Tranmere as warm favourites.

Tranmere win 1/1 Even Money.
Dale win close to 3-1 (27/10 Betfair)

Grimsby and Accy (our next two home games) should have bumper crowds…

To any lapsed supporter the matchday experience is a pretty good one!! Wanding and Kettling aside!!!

Swindon Town Home …

First time in ages no aggressive wanding / pat down.. Stewards hopefully have been spoken too and have a slightly newer / updated brief.

Pushing 4500 again so 4000 home fans there or thereabouts makes me thInk that with future incentives and another push on by the club project 5000 is not so far off as we think.

Winning helps of course and the scenes on 88 minutes when the goal went in off Hayes head was Brilliant.

Up the Dale!!!

Three wins on the spin…. Lovely.

Middleton Tasker and Flint my standouts but the whole side put in a major shift - good to see.

Hayes Cameo capped with a goal… some scenes when we scored our winner.

I liked the look of Swindon’s Aaron Drinnen. Thought he worked really hard and created Swindon’s better chances.
