Magic Mikey Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Being kept awake by a slipped disc, so I thought I would put my involuntary waking time to some good use by doing some research. With our (slightly less) precarious position and Rochdale now 9 points clear of fourth spot, I wondered when was the last time they played in a division higher than us. We were promoted to join them in the old division 3 in 1971 and haven't been in a division below them since. Subsequently they've only had a higher league finish than us once, in 2011. My first full season was 73-74, when we went up as champions and they finished bottom, doing the double over them. It has been the natural order of things in my life that we sit above them. It will screw my feng shui right up if that's reversed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magic Mikey Posted March 23, 2014 Author Share Posted March 23, 2014 Get some OxyContin on prescription! Thanks. I was probed on B&Q car park yesterday, now waiting for a scan. Googled Oxycontin, sounds the bollocks, I'll have to see what the GP says, Cocodamol isn't touching the sides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you must be in pain, but, made me laugh when I thought of you getting probed on B and Q car park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the promoted teams this season are going to be Dale. C/Field and Scunny that will make us staying up even more important! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stargazer Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 My first game as a nipper was in 70/71 ,a 1-1 draw with Bournemouth who were promoted with us . They had the goal machine that was Ted McDougall playing for them .....for the whippersnappers on here he scored 9 (yes 9) goals in a 11-0 FA Cup win for Bournemouth , not surprisingly still the record.

If the promoted teams this season are going to be Dale. C/Field and Scunny that will make us staying up even more important! My first game going on my own was that season, Lincoln at home sometime in November, won 4-2 and that was me hooked. The cup game was very soon after and I went with my mate Brian Merritt and his dad, they were Dale fans, my dad didnt have a car.I do remember thinking of them as the bigger team and it was no surprise when we lost, 2-0 if i'm right. After that we went up and they went down and bumped along the bottom. They are a shining example of a football League team managing to survive against the odds. We are a supreme example of the adage that every dog has its day and one day, maybe, everything will go right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dale are on a very sound footing, I have mates who are shareholders so seen the Accounts but they don't own the ground, (from memory but might be wrong.)
