Did anyone see Paul Heaton at the BBC on Saturday evening? They showed a bit of his Glastonbury set from 2014 (I think). I'm sure the drummer was wearing a Dale top. The right colour and "Crown Oil" written on it.
Having recently moved and just getting to know the neighbours, was speaking to one last night who told me his dad played for Rochdale - Peter Green - in the 50s. He was also a cricketer. Any of you archivists have any gen on this chap? Ta.
A BBC Archive 30 minute fly on the wall documentary has just popped up on Youtube. It counterpoints the life of football managers in different divisions and focuses on Bradford losing 4 -1 to Dale
Far play to the media team for posting this. There is also a link to the full interview. Good news that Maguire and Beckwith are back on the grass (so to speak!)
Appoint Rene Meulensteen as the club's new Director of Football Methodology, wtf is one of them and surely that must impact the role of the manager/coach already there too?
Radio Manchester interview before the Tranmere game. Some interesting points, especially about the squad.
Expect a loan striker to come in this week and possibly another wide player and maybe even a central midfielder. I suspect the midfielder might be a 10 to replace Jenkins.
This isn’t looking great for us already. Jenks has a really nasty injury. Beckwith is also out for several weeks (really hope for him that he will be able to put a decent run of full fitness together when he gets back). Maguire is still not ready and played very little, if any, of pre season, and Wilson was out.No mention of Hendo but presume he must have a knock. Petit looked in trouble when he came off and Hannett also wasn’t moving freely after the game. I am pleased for Bradley that he got some minutes yesterday but it is testament to the fact we were short of bodies. Could easily see another couple of players coming in on short term loans this week. I can see a situation where having appeared to have released Edwards he is bought back in on a short term deal As for yesterday going off the commentary on the Bet365 site and the highlights I am hopeful the Bilongo we be a perfectly sound replacement for Beckwith. However I am a bit concerned that TAR is clearly not a natural fullback. Hope a fit Wilson will be a better option. Having this many injuries at this stage of the season is a bit unsettling, but fingers crossed some are match ready for the 15th UTD
Call it obsession if you like but I’ve noticed that they have posted a 32k loss. Not exceptional if you think that a lot of businesses operate with manageable debt. If they have a part-time playing staff though and a lot of the admin roles are performed on a voluntary basis I would have thought that they would be posting an operating profit at least on a turnover of £1.5 million? Or am I missing something - I’ve no forensic accountancy skills.
Looks like those not at the game can't watch it in Ratcliffes. I presume the usual pubs in town (special mention for Moody Blue) will have the game on? It's on in Bamford Bowling Club if that's handy.
*Streaming options are available for those who don't fancy the pub ambience.*
Jenkins - went for two scans, but it looks bad. Beckwith - tweaked his hamstring. Ramming - might be available on Saturday. Wilson - still with Chelsea. Is a week behind (whatever that means).
Watson said the Premier League clubs have been good allowing Ramming and Wilson to go to Spain but then they have have been back with their clubs. No mention of Maguire or Bilongo being unavailable. The club posted a picture on X earlier today of training and Bilongo featured and looked kitted up. Hopefully he is available. No mention of any potential ban for Hannant.
