Greetings from Rochdale
« on: April 27, 2008, 10:12:16 PM »
Hello.
I am Robert Mugabe. I believe you hold democratic votes in contempt, just like I do.
You are now in a pub team league. Rochdale are in the football league play-offs again.
I find this most amusing.

Not going down like some....  ;D

Have you ever played a game in the football league? No, I thought not. I, Mugabe say this - know your place.

I don't think assuming we will stay up is doing ANY good.

I was at Spotland 43 or so years ago when we whupped them 3-1. Even the diminutive Les Campbell scored!  ::)

Am I correct in thinking that it was Rochdale's vote which cost us promotion to the Football League circa 1980??

I find this most amusing.

Why you coming on here sticking the knife in to a club that has no rivalry with you whatsoever?

You sad tw*t.

No. It was Manchester United who voted for Rochdale's re-election because they didn't want "competition" for spectators from a closer league team. (Believe it or not that was what the Late Louis Edwards then said!)

wasn't it all the votes that cost promotion, not just that of one club?
