Remember going to that dump watching Andy duggan on loan for about 19 minutes. Looked ok but got injured. We had don page on loan in swap with Andy flounders. Think Steve Morgan played for us after scoring 2 not long before (vs York I think) remember them collecting money to help build a new stand. They got very little!!!

Morgan at York was 90/91. Page-Flounders swap was 92/93.
I always have fond memories of Scarborough - a staple opposition for us throughout the 80s and 90s. I seem to remember watching us put four past them a few times.
They had a player called Rockett, too. Always good for a headline.
God you know your stuff 442. Think we got Morgan off Oldham and he got 2 on his debut. Pretty sure we played them the next away game (Scarborough) but might be wrong. Can't remember last week well so 25 years is tough

Morgan's goals were at York on Easter Saturday 1991. We had already played at Scarborough that season.
Andy Duggan played in the York game, but never at Scarborough for anybody!
When I was your age, I used to enjoy the odd game of tennis. Or was it golf?
Remember watching Dale v Scarboro on a Saturday i parked in the MFI car park across the road and who pulled up at the side of me in a Fiesta with boots in hand but the one and only Stevie Doyle remember standing in the open end.

Did we play there on a Friday night once? I seem to remember a dire 0-0. Late 90s.
Yep, 26th March 1999, although we lost 1-0. Scarborough got relegated six weeks later!

Saturday 30th April 1988 L 1-2 Saturday 10th September 1988 D 3-3 Saturday 7th April 1990 L 1-2 Tuesday 6th February 1991 D 0-0 Saturday 30th November 1991 L 2-3 Saturday 20th February 1993 D 1-1 Saturday 2nd April 1994 L 1-2 Saturday 24th September 1994 W 4-2 Tuesday 23rd January 1996 D 1-1 Saturday 22nd February 1997 D 2-2 Saturday 6th December 1997 L 0-1 Friday 26th March 1999 L 0-1

I think I'm right in suggesting Scarborough did the double on us in the season they went down. They beat us 1-0 home and away in 98-99 I think. It was the depths of the Barrow era. I took a mate to the away game. He was so horrified he has only been to two Dale games since. Our Cup game v Forest and last year's win at Charlton.
You cannot explain to modern fans what it was like under Barrow, for whom Hill played. I'm sure Hill has based his entire managerial career on doing everything the complete opposite that Barrow did things. And yet, Barrow has gone onto enjoy a decent career that is far beyond the merits of his talents as our manager. Whereas Sutton and the Doc who did better than him, found Dale their graveyard.
Meanwhile Simpson, who was arguably our worst ever Manager has done fantastically well since he was popped off by us.

Good call on them doing the double on us that season.
Still, at least we knocked them out of the FA Cup as we embarked on one of our "two good cup runs".

My memories of Scarborough include the perfect left foot / right foot / header hat-trick by Gareth Griffiths.

Fair call. Barrow was truly awful . Simpson was worse.
"Former Rochdale Manager Steve Eyre" (copyright Radio Manchester) was worserer imho.

Barrow presided over the only period since 1962, when I threw in the towel watching Dale. The football on offer was THAT bad. Yes, Eyre was a shocker, but that was due to simple inexperiece and his own ideas of who was a good player. I was also very close to stopping atteding, under Coleman, if only for the foul, vile comments he could be heard making towards opposition players and match officials.
Whoever it was that posted on here that he wasn't fit to manage the Dog and Duck reserves, had it spot on. A disgrace and I'm sure he's one of the reasons that Gary Jones has never set foot into Spotland since the day he left. That's a tragedy.
To think he represented this great club and wore the club badge, makes my stomach churn.

We also played them in the FA cup when they were non league lost away, think that might have been 4 -2. I was stood next to Mick Whittles who was quite vocal but it was before segregation was heard of so there was a bit of verbals to say the least.

I definitely remember us putting four past them in a cup game a few years after I started watching Dale.
I liked the McCain Stadium - went to a pre-season friendly there under Warnock in 98 when there was about 60 people in the ground (excl players). You could hear everything the players were saying, it was ace. Plus Liam Robinson was up front for them and twice the size he was when he left Bury. Weird to think they were about to have the season that destroyed the club permanently.
We had a great record there too, set against a really awful record against them at Gigg.
Delighted for them they have a ground in Scarborough again now - nice to see them return home.

Thats my first recollection of Scarborough...one of those annual cup exits to non league teams where we were just not in the same league as them....from a playing point of view.
I dreaded the FA Cup draw every year because we knew
1 we would draw a non league team 2 they would beat us easily.

Think that was little woods cup or similar when oshaunessy scored from about 50 yards. Think we beat aldershot 4 0 game before
Yes it was that season. I just looked it all up, rather than rely on adolescent memory. The Aldershot win was the opening game of the 90/91 season.
I had also forgotten that the 4-0 win over Scarborough was the first of two legs in the Legaue Cup, the second of which we drew 3-3. Being only 10 years old at the time, I wasn't allowed to go to the second leg.
Our reward was a 5-0 home battering by Southampton.
