Thread | Mirroring
by frenzied at 12:08 19 Feb 2026
Is our tussle with York mirroring the battle between Arsenal and City ?
City and York both have the momentum whilst Arsenal and Dale have both had a couple of draws recently.
Arsenal have a local derby coming up whilst Dale have a short trip to Halifax next week.
At least Dale are still playing well..Arsenal were dreadful for a lot of the game last night.
Dale and Arsenal still have the advantage..just a question of nerve now |

Thread | BBC radio Manchester
by meeee at 12:05 18 Feb 2026
Over the last 2 weeks I’ve listened to the Forest Green home game on BBC radio Gloucestershire, I’ve listened to the Yeovil away game on BBC radio Somerset and listened to the Scunthorpe home game on BBC radio Humberside.
I’d always assumed it was standard practice for local BBC stations to just stop covering teams once they drop into non league but it seems like it’s just a radio Manchester thing. Local radio is supposed to serve local listeners and I see no reason why they should stop covering a side just because they drop into non league.
You can guarantee that a few seasons ago had Bolton been relegated into the national league when they were going through their financial troubles there’s no chance they would’ve stopped covering them. I’d love to know what the reasoning is behind dropping a teams coverage just because they drop out of the EFL |

Not on the non-functioning scoreboard, X, or any other official media outlet. Hard to define them over the tannoy.
Any idea what they were? |

Is it really fair on him to throw him into the starting line up in a massive promotion game (that's what every game is now) when he's not even been in a matchday squad for nearly a month? |

For those of us who are exiled and couldn't get to the forum last night, was there anything of note to share? It seems to be all quiet on here today |

Thread | Devante Rodney
by samueloneils at 13:45 13 Feb 2026
I must confess to being a huge Devante Rodney fan. He must scare defenders to death with his power and strong running game. Last season with that amazing burst of 8 goals in 7 games, he pulled us up from 6/7th to 4th in the league with help from Hendo.
But he did that as the main striker with the demise of Mitchell.
This season he seems to be trying too hard to score at so many opportunities when his assists for Mani D in particular would be just as valuable as any goal.
He is such a dangerous player and few teams have that advantage. |

By my reckoning (and I'm prepared to stand corrected)......only Burger and Pettit are to register in the league this season (I know that there are other outfield players but with minimal / no appearances). Just goes to show how tnany different payers are contributing to the goals tally! |

Thread | 8,000 at COA this weekend
by Dalenet at 22:18 7 Feb 2026
We had more than 4.700 today and a great atmosphere it created. Hornets have sold more than 3,000 tickets for their Challenge Cup game against Wigan tomorrow. It's good for sport in the town, and for our bar takings, that 8,000 will pass through COA in two days. I am going to go tomorrow whilst I am down. Of course Hornets may struggle to keep Wigan to less than 100 points. |

by Walboro at 19:03 7 Feb 2026
Well I agree to having good security but these lot are p£££ing me off when entering the main stand. Week after week they have checked some thing different. 1week I have to take my hat off and the next few matches never get checked. Then today they more or less did a strip search on me they are so inconsistent that I think I will turn up naked on Wednesday and see what they do then. |

I admit to now knowing much about the ins and outs of football finances, but £6.4 million in wages in non-league last year seems very high even if it is down on the £7.7 million in 2024. Vince must really love throwing money at that.

This might have been buried by the match report and interviews from last night but the club have uploaded the minutes for the recent CAB Meeting.

Again, an interesting read, especially about the training ground.
Thanks to Judd for giving the club a prod. |

Thread | Borehamwood Tuesday
by Dalenet at 10:06 2 Feb 2026
As they say, another 6 pointer. Borehamwood have faltered a little recently and lost at home to Boston on Saturday and collected two red cards to boot. Watching their managers post match interview he wasn't happy with his players at all. He also said that with the two red cards, and injuries, he now has 40% of his squad unavailable for selection. Could be a good time to play them - although we must not take anything for granted. Get at them from the off. |

Does anyone on here remember him playing in goal for Dale in the 1960s? I think he moved to Leicester City from Spotland.
I’m asking as his grandson Joe Heyes now plays international Rugby Union for England. |
