Presumably that doesn't involve picking players called Bailey and Farrell!

Match Thread - Bristol Rovers v Rochdale - FA Cup
at 16:47 1 Nov 2022

Surprised this hasn't already been started.

Anyway, a bit of a walk down Memory Lane as Dale face Bristol Rovers in the FA Cup for the first time in 20 years. Last time it went to a replay:

David Armstrong
at 22:15 21 Aug 2022

Not Dale connected, but football followers of the 70s and 80s will clearly remember the balding pate of Middlesbrough and Southampton's David Armstrong, who has sadly died today, age 67.

He was a regular in my Panini sticker albums and often pops up on episodes of The Big Match Revisited these days, chugging through the Ayresome Park mud to score a crucial equaliser past someone like Peter Shilton.

Armstrong was an excellent player, who looked nothing like a footballer, and his passing today brings back memories of when I first started to get into the game.

Actually, though, there is a Dale connection, as Armstrong was unknowingly involved in a very famous EGP skit about our former Commercial Manager, Steve Walmsley, who insisted on getting himself on every team photo!

1000th win...
at 18:43 9 Apr 2022

Today's win was our 1,000th on a Saturday in league football.

It has taken 2,930 Saturday matches to reach that figure.

There have been 692 Saturday home wins and 308 Saturday away wins.

Late Postponements Question
at 17:23 9 Jan 2022

Can anyone recall any other late postponements of away games, similar to yesterday, when fans were already at the ground?

Mansfield in Feb 1996 was a very late call off, as were the infamous Wycombe trips in 1993/94, but are there any others from the olden days (KidBingo, any games from the 1920s, for example?) that people can remember?

I might need a page filler...

Carabao Cup...
at 15:55 24 Jun 2021

Harrogate away!!

Due to be played w/c 9th August, but teams can play it earlier if they wish.

If it is played on the Tuesday after the league game, it will sort of replicate Dale's start to 1988/89 when we played Burnley away in the league, followed by them at home in the Littlewoods Cup three days later.

In 1972/73, we played Blackburn away in the League Cup on Wednesday 16th August, followed by a league fixture there on Saturday 19th August.

Crap Stats of the Day
at 19:13 20 Mar 2021

Stephen Humphrys today scored only his second career penalty, but - and here's the interesting bit...

His other career penalty was also against Peterborough back in February 2017 while playing for Shrewsbury.

Like today, Stephen didn't finish that game either, as he was sent-off in the 55th minute, which was the same time as he scored from the spot today!!

Today was also Dale's third 3-3 draw with Peterborough, a figure shared with Port Vale, but only bettered by Wrexham (4).
