Or Rochdale got into Liquidation (Maybe). We think we had (have) it bad.

Chairman says the take over must be done by March...

I believe Rochdale are fan owned so maybe overspent on a pipe dream. Very sad news either way. :uhoh:

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think we are one of the most played fixture in the EFL and now National League. Over a 120 games in total, thinking it could be more.

It would be really sad if they go.

What a lovely nostalgic list, back in the day Southport was always a bogey team for me along with Port Vale.
Proper teams instead of Home Counties smug clubs with all the charm of a weekend sanding walls.

If they went pop, we lost the home game to them (not played away yet) so other teams that have beaten them would lose those points, which could help our position in the league.

By the way didn't they get the parachute payment from the EFL - what have they done with that?

Sorry to hear about Rochdale - old time fourth division travellers along with Pools. Bring back Workington Town, Southport and Darlo. Barrow made it back and are not doing too badly after about 45 years or so away from the league.

Lisa Stansfield is a fan of Rochdale, maybe she might help out, Google says she is worth over £12 million ?

Gracie Fields was from Rochdale and they probably have more chance of getting it from that long deceased warbler than Lisa. :laugh:

Gateshead to make a comeback, although possibly a grey area as to who is the real Gateshead ?

Oops sorry - that means no promotion for us this season

things and times change though. might as well get new brighton, glossop, nelson and darwen back. thats before you get to the north east ex league clubs. funny though how most of these clubs are based in the north and replacd by those from the sarf.

Aye, good point about the replacements being from the south, always a pee off with me.
