Frankly Mr Shankly Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 A good, lower league manager who knows how to get the absolute most out of a small squad is the key to Rochdale's success. Sounds simple yet we make it look so hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds simple yet we make it look so hard. Agreed, do we really need a manager, assistant manager and coach at this level?..looks like a case of too many cooks spoil the broth. Can anyone remember Jimmy Frizzel's or Big Joe's assistants, I dont think they had two? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewBlue Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 I don't get this whole mocking of their home attendances. Who are you deriding?

I wonder if dale blame Dunphy for 50 years in league 2 What a time to be a dale fans in the top 6 after 10 games! Woop! The heady heights eh?

NewBlue Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 It's totally different and a ridiculous comparison. Rochdale's attendances have been at this level for 40+ years and are at their highest ebb in 65 years. Corney has presided over the halving of a club's regular fan-base and the lowest ebb the club has been in for 45 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SavageTheBeast Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 (edited) Check their attendance for tonight 2100 and I would expect at least 200 from Shrewsbury. Does this prove wrong corneys hypothesis that you need a strong crowd to do well in this league?

There are always takers. He is holding on to his baby as he probably likes being the owner of a football club, as would I. However, with him backing us, we will be a non-league football club far sooner than a Championship one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ones who actually go or the ones who support City and United, and can't be arsed with their local team? I mention it because they are enjoying their most successful period ever and can still only muster 2000 fans for a home game. We had people coming out of the woodwork when in a similar position in the early 90's, Rochdale really do seem to have a tiny fanbase. But it also goes to show what a well run club they must be, with a great management team in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OAFC_ULTRA Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 I dont get the mocking of other teams attendances. If you look at the history books then yes they are technically a smaller club than us but currently they are better than us. They are higher in the league and playing better football, scoring more goals and I would suggest they are better run. All this talk of they only got 2000 and that is pityful - by whose standards? I think we need to start dealing with our own issues before mocking other clubs in this league, because the majority of other clubs in this league are currently doing a better job.

Who the :censored: are we to be taking the piss out of anyone's attendances, given how ours have fallen away over the past few years? And how many would we be getting after 30 years (or however long it was) in the fourth tier? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
