Bradford City pre-match

Dale had two small strikers and they were the big difference that day.

If it’s the same Rochdale game, I remember that there was freezing fog. Only knew that Rochdale had scored again at the Fox Street end was when they all came back to kick off again. Happened at least 4 times!!

Don’t mention orange ball and orange lines, or were they blue lines back in the 70’s we played Rochdale at the OSG and lost 4-0. They had four shots and scored four goals, we just slid around on our arses for 90 minutes. No more of that orange ball milarky thank you very much.

I was at that game Iron-awe, it was Christmas week and Rochdale hadn’t won an away game for nearly two bloody years, me and two of my ons were in the Donny road end and snow was swirling into our faces, I vividly remember saying to them, “what the hell are we doing in this weather”, yes 4-0 was the result, that was one of my all time lows in my 69 years of following Scunny.

Two small strikers?
As I recall, they brought a physically very small side. They skipped lightly across the snow and frost.
It is correct that they had four shots and scored four times.
It sounds totally daft after losing 4 – 0 but I thought we had looked a far better side, on the day.

The only other time we ever got a thumping and I thought we were the better side was again against Rochdale but at Spotland. Was that 4 – 0, maybe? I’m hazy on the details. Anyone?

I definitely remember that time, not sure it was the same match or not. Snow swirling around the Donny Road End as BS says, for sure.

That’s how I remember it to lesgeo, left the game and wasn’t even disappointed.
