Weather 08:53 - Mar 12 with 9419 viewselectricblue

The weather is supposed to get worse with more heavy rain n gales later in the day and during the evening possibilities the game could either be called off or abandoned if the game goes ahead.....

In between the Crewe and Gillingham games I went to Boundary Park. On a snow filled pitch we lost 5-1, Ronnie Cairns scored our goal. If I remember rightly, Colin Whitaker who they signed from Dale got a couple for Oldham .We had a good side that season


Maybe the fee we got for Colin Whitaker ended up paying the wages in that period.

It would have been a difficult time in that respect.
The maximum wage had just abolished and clubs carried massive squads in those days.
My mate's dad played for Dale in the 1950's and he reckoned that at that time there were 30 plus professionals training regularly.
Colin Whitaker opened a sports shop on Oldham Road at Lowerplace around then along with Brian Green. I wonder if his signing-on fee helped to finance that!

The forecast for Saturday is gruesome. I saw something on Twitter saying there would be a relatively late pitch inspection with it being a local derby. Thoughts on timing of inspection and likelihood of going ahead under the circs anyone? My gut tells me this must be in real jeopardy unless they have awesome drainage all of a sudden?

Up the Dale - NOT for sale!

So 8am pitch inspection and unlikely then.

I put a pic from that game in TVOS a few seasons ago.

Undoubted knowledge? Or just the application of common sense and using my brain?

It seems odd to have the inspection so early given most fans are going to be travel less than an hour to get there. Isn’t the weather due to clear up later in the day?

Rain supposed to be in for most of the day,guessing with an early inspection the games already in doubt,I'd be surprised if it passes an inspection.

Yes. They played in maroon and white shirts with short sleeves. It was freezing and not a pair of gloves in sight - other than the keepers')!
I seem to remember that Colin Whitaker went to Oldham in exchange for Peter Phoenix.
I'm not sure that there was any money involved.

If that was a straight swap then Oldham got the better of the deal.

Having said that in the Crewe game the two players that stood out for my 13 year old eyes on the Dale team were Peter Phoenix on the left wing and John Hardman at right half. It's funny how I can remember that yet I can't remember what I had for tea last night.

Just seen the weather forecast for Saturday. It looks pretty grim, windy and plenty of rain.

The fact that they've already announced the date, time and ticketing arrangements for the rearranged fixture tells me that there isn't a prayer of the game going ahead tomorrow.

I think the bigger question is whether the pitch will be playable on Monday night. If not, I've a feeling Dale are free every midweek until the end of the season apart from Easter Monday.

That they've said Monday and not some time in April makes me also think that Accrington are confident that it'll be playable on Monday. It wouldn't be the first time this season that their pitch can't cope with the weather, though - are they trying to call it off early to avoid another abandoned match, like their one at home to Sunderland?
