i was admittedly ready to leave after 22-0 down. Have to say though it ended up being a brilliant game to watch. Easy to see who our impact players are. Butterfield and Kesik to name two. Well done to the lads today, Really enjoyed the game even if it did keep us at the edge of our seats until the end.

Never has a game that meant so little meant so much to win! It was head in hands stuff after the first 20 minutes, particularly with Sanderson being carried off looking in a bad way (although I did see him in the car park after the match looking fine). After that it was just barn storming stuff, angles being run galore!

As mentioned above Butterfield, and particularly Kesik turned the game with Kes running everything, as the game went on Spaven got his grasp firmly on the game and showed up well to. With our goal kicker off the pitch we missed quite a lot of conversion which should have made the tense ending a lot less tense, but I don;t mind that tension if we go on to win the game!

Hopefully we can take a lot of confidence from that and press on to the real stuff

I can't believe it! We both had a bad cold this week and didn't bother going!



Well done to the lads, and roll on Saturday. Although we have not qualified for the next round we have beaten both teams we have played from our own division.

What was the attendance yesterday?

4 hundred odd...although didn't look to be anywhere near as many as we had against Dewsbury last week

442 to be exact.

We've commented before on how Rochdale seem to have far bigger attendances than there are people present....

If the rest of the season is as enjoyable as yesterday i for one will be well-pleased.
Well-Done to all the team.

I'd be a nervous wreck!

If there were over 400 people there then the guy counting them in must have had double vision .

Some of the crowds at this level are becoming really worrying, but don't worry according to Sky everything in the garden is rosy.
