Initial thoughts are promising. A local guy who’s not looking to profit off the back of the club. Excellent news about the 30 day funding. More upbeat than I’ve been for a while after reading the statement. Let’s see in 4-5 weeks. |

I think if you're going to develop a site like TBA then you have to go the whole hog, it’d be pointless developing half the site while leaving the rest, who would want to play sport right next to an abandoned contaminated asbestos factory? Wholly agree about cleaning it up though, it’s an eyesore & an embarrassment to the town. I don’t think a stadium there is viable as access is very limited as it is but as a sports / fitness/ rehabilitation centre why not? You could easily fit 5-6 pitches on the site, throw in an athletics track & fitness suite with rehab centre / hydrotherapy pool (could be used in conjunction with the NHS)? & you might have a contender for levelling up cash. The more users the better, schools, dale & Hornets training, coaching sessions for kids in the holidays, Rochdale harriers, NHS physio & rehab sessions etc… More end users means more potential funding, something a new MP could get his teeth into…?? |

I echo all the sentiments on here. George will be a huge loss both in terms of knowledge & commitment to the trust. We urgently need a statement from the trust to clarify their position. |

Great result under the circumstances & one I certainly wasn’t expecting! Let’s take this into Tues & give us a home win lads, a positive performance will take our minds off all the other stuff at least for a while. |

Exactly. It’s anything but “commendable” by the club is it? One half arsed effort for the Fylde game & apart from that it’s squeeze yet more hard earned cash from the same fans… There appears to be either a complete lack of vision from the club or a paralysis in the decision making process. |

Great news. Gives us a much needed extra dimension. Well done the club. |

& this is what gets my goat. GMP can accommodate Prem games, even city v united derbies at seemingly any time to suit the whims of tv but apparently can’t manage to police a dale v owdum game at 3pm!! |

Having a chat with a few of the lads at HT yesterday & the subject of the Willbutts stand came up. It was open yesterday for less than 200 Kidderminster fans. Surely they could have been accommodated in the end block of the Pearl st? For next season a couple of ideas were floated- 1- close the Pearl st completely next season. Existing season ticket holders could transfer into the main stand for a 1 season discounted price or obviously transfer to the Sandy if they wished. Make the Willbutts half home / half away with pay on the day only for home fans so the stand could be altered if there was a large away following 2- close the Willbutts completely & have a similar arrangement as above put in place for the Pearl st stand. Basically the consensus was that with our crowds & away followings in this league 4 stands open just isn’t necessary (unless playing the Biffos of course). Thoughts? |

I didn’t hear a single person around me say that. The regulars would say “a wins a win” etc but today was (or should have been) all about entertainment for the £1 punters. There was none of that on display this afternoon. |

Luke Rodgers (?) That day still gives me the cold sweats. Applauded off by dale fans as I recall. |

“People skills” aka… Fookin useless Unapproachable Dogmatic. Give a barely trained person on minimum wages a badge/walkie talkie/semblance of authority, sit back & watch the carnage. EDIT God help us if over 6k fans turn out on Boxing Day & some of the issues previously mentioned on here aren’t addressed by then, could be a very messy experience trying to get in on the day (& I’m betting now that less than 300 fylde fans turn up)… [Post edited 30 Nov 2023 21:12]

3 wins on the bounce & we have tightened up the defence at least to a degree. Much more of this & I’ll be dusting off the giddyometer… |

Sorry but I’m utterly sick now of the apologists for defending that would embarrass a Sunday league team. We have scored 10 goals in the last 4 games & have somehow contrived to get 4 points from those games. It’s not good enough & the defence / McNulty need a large kick up the arse. The financial situation is no excuse for not doing the basics. |

Would be interesting to see the picture at the 4-5th level of German football though… The elephant in the room in this country is & has always been player wages. Good luck to anyone who suggests they take a 50% pay cut… |
| Forum Reply | Trust meeting with BoD at 09:59 8 Nov 2023
It’s entirely normal for BOD’s to pull up the drawbridge & go into bunker mentality mode when they are desperate to get out & trying to broker a deal which will be presented as a fait accompli to the trust/fans. There are multiple examples littered throughout the game & it’s not as if we don’t have previous in this regard. |
