26/2/22 - TVOS Feature VS Northampton

Good afternoon everybody! Hope you are all well. Another Saturday, another match day! How fast is this season going? Can’t believe we are at the end of February already!

We have had a busy February at the club, a bit of a congested month trying to fit rearranged fixtures in, a Fans Forum last week and finally a well deserved win against Scunthorpe. We are really hoping this is the start of a positive run of results and we can push on with our season!

Really happy as well that Jimmy Keohane featured in a behind closed doors game last week. Wishing him a speedy recovery, he has been a big miss for us. So that was excellent to hear! Also sending a speedy recovery to Paul Downing, he’s been an absolute rock in the Dale defence since arriving from Portsmouth, we really hope to see him back in the side soon.

It’s also been a really busy couple of weeks for us girls. A couple more podcast appearances, another appearance on the EFL Twitch Show ‘The Football League Lowdown’ where we spoke about Dale’s new signings, the recent run of results and lots more. Also Charlotte has also been approached to write a magazine article for ‘WeareHFR’ which we are completely overwhelmed about. They have asked if she can specifically talk about Rochdale, so that’s another great platform we can use to promote the club in a positive way!

Podcast Appearances -

TTM Sports - Talking about Rochdale, the pyramid system, #HerGameToo, lower league football.

Project Football - Talking about the club, what got us into football? Recent results and new signings.

FMFO_Official - A content creator with a podcast and Football Manager draft game. We will be featuring on this and talking again about Rochdale, how our January transfer window went in our opinion and how we think our season will finish.

Please if you haven’t already, have a listen to any of our appearances on the shows and podcasts to show your support. We love talking about the club in any way we can and want to push more people to start coming to watch Rochdale. We also reminisce about some past fixtures, there’s some crackers!

We have also been working very close with #HerGameToo in the last few weeks and we have some very exciting news coming very soon. We don’t want to give too much away but we can’t wait to tell you all!

Our final point that we want to talk about today and hopefully give a big push is the Crowd Justice Page that ‘The Dale Trust’ have set up to raise money to keep the club FAN OWNED. A lot of people aren’t on social media and don’t know the ins and outs of what’s going on, so hopefully if any of you do see this, you could help contribute and donate to help keep Rochdale AFC a fan owned club. The club is an asset to the community and an excellent example of how any football club should we run. If you would like to help support the cause please use this link to donate anything you can spare -

There’s also members of ‘The Dale Trust’ who will be around the ground on a match day collecting any loose change you fans may have to spare. But we all know money can be tight, especially after the pandemic and changes recently so if you can’t contribute financially please help spread the word about what’s going on. Share anything you see on social media, tag your friends or somebody that could contribute, tell somebody inside the ground who isn’t on social media, absolutely anything helps and will hopefully contribute to helping us stay a Fan Owned club for many more years to come.

Thank you so much for reading

Charlotte & Isabelle
