Comp
at 21:03 27 Jul 2026

Hi All,

It is with deep regret I will not be doing the Prediction comp for the next season.

I have some health problems (not dying). Loosing focus etc & not going into details.

I don’t post on this forum often any more so don’t look at it often if I’m honest.

Thanks for the years of participating but I’m not up to it in the long term & thanks for your understanding in advance.

I will be deleting my account after this post. Dale is in my heart & my soul as it is with Mrs BDB & the kids..

Up the Dale 👍

I remember Fergie once saying about rising kit costs… there are only 11 people who need to wear the kit and that was the team on the pitch

The Dale Trust has a website & lists who’s who at the bottom..

https://www.daletrust.co.uk/

I did get an e mail recently about joining a World Cup prediction league on a 3rd party website but the less said about how I am doing in the league the better… 😢

It also says this down there…

CURRENT TRUST MEMBERS 2025/2026

Members to date 1/03/2026
713

Maybe they have not opened this years for those who are not on auto renewal??

They have Scott who is membership & tbh he was straight back with a reply on a query on the comp so fair play to him.

What is not listed is a Communications person.. on another minor point, when they did send e mails out in the day it still had the “Twitter” logo on it.. mentioned it a couple of times but no response

Whilst a great development opportunity. Why a Gym etc.. bearing in mind what’s also on that road..

I am not impressed with the Dale Trust at the moment, I don’t get e mail updates and have not done for a long time now..

I’m not renewing my my membership this year as not been asked to if I’m honest…

Challinor leaves Stockport

X is full of speculation now tbh… my feed is full of it.

He’s proved himself in my humble opinion despite many people doubting him, probably me at some point, can’t remember tbh & not searching.

Don’t know what he earns a year, no idea how much of a pay rise he may get going to Stockport if true.. at the end of the day he has a family.

A tough decision, maybe short term salary unless Dale match it to stay 🤷‍♂️.. How many managers go elsewhere & fail, don’t last long.. a certain “ex GME” at Barnsley lasted about 18 months off memory.. he’s working at Aldi now or somewhere.

If he does go, I for one will wish him well

What could possibly go wrong?

As always, a good day to all Roughyeds.

We hope you’ll be attending in numbers tomorrow night to back the team and the club.

We just wanted to update you all and say that our former Chairman Bill Quinn is categorically not holding up any potential sale of ORLFC or the attraction of potential investors. The three of us are heavily involved – almost hourly and certainly daily – in meetings and negotiations with a number of consortiums who are well past the NDA stage and are currently involved in due diligence. None of those discussions are in any way dependent on our former Chairman.

Bill remains the club’s major sponsor and continues to provide facilities that ORLFC uses on a daily basis.

Please do not give negative and unhelpful speculation the time of day. What we ask, as a group of people working hard behind the scenes to keep ORLFC running and secure a future for the club, is that you truly back us by buying tickets for tomorrow night.

Yes, it’s three consecutive Fridays, which is far from ideal, but the club did not itself choose those dates – they were given as dates we could play in Oldham.

So please support the club and turn up in numbers tomorrow night.

All the best,

Jim, Simon & David

Seems Hull are seeking legal advice stating their opponents were disqualified so why should they play Boro & just be promoted..

This will ramble on 🤔.. getting some popcorn 😎

Wembley policy extract..

Where a Match is postponed after Ticket holder(s) have entered the Ground, but before the Match has kicked-off, entry to the or any substitute Ground for the rearranged playing of the Match shall only be permitted on presentation of the Ticket and subject to compliance with any other requirements announced by The FA at the time.

Ticket purchaser(s) unable to attend the rearranged playing of the Match shall be entitled to a refund of the face value of Ticket (including any booking fee and related transaction charge).

Good afternoon to all Roughyeds,

I realise that we are only at Tuesday of matchday week, but I wanted to update you all on our current situation regarding matches played at Boundary Park.

This Friday will see us play our third consecutive match back at the stadium many of you describe as “home”, and I want to put that into true perspective.

I would like to start by saying a huge thank you to Craig Dootson and his team at OAFC, who, for the matches played on 8th and 15th May, have provided excellent professional help and support and ensured that both games have gone off well. However, the attendance at those games does not demonstrate that the wonderful people of Oldham are happy we are back at the stadium. We had fewer than 1,200 on the 8th and 1,004 on Friday. I will accept that there were some valid reasons for both games – one was at short notice and last Friday was a cup game – but a game generating gate receipts in total less than the cost of staging the match at Boundary Park is the stark reality of our situation. Crowds of 1,500 or less do not cover costs at any stadium we have played at this season; they really don’t.

Please, I am asking all supporters to get behind the team this Friday and prove that ORLFC can play in the town and receive the support the players and everyone connected with the club deserve. It would be fantastic to have 2,000+ this Friday. We have some amazing hospitality offers, including a box for £400 with food included, and we will be launching an incentive by tomorrow for season ticket holders to bring a friend to the game. The club truly needs support at this time – it is our last home game and a good source of revenue for a month.

So yes, get behind the team, get behind the club. It’s a wonderful atmosphere for families, and on Friday we also have a series of curtain-raiser games. The bars and ground will be open from 5:30pm.

Thank you in advance for your support. Tickets can be purchased now online – the best option please – or by card at the turnstiles, or by cash in the ticket office outside the main event centre reception.

Alan Kilshaw and the team have been superb all season. We are joint second in the league and playing some great rugby. Please, on Friday, show your support for this great rugby club, truly make some noise and back the boys.
