Re: PREVIEW: Rochdale at the Turf – it’s been a long time
Seems like a surreal dream now that Rochdale and Stockport were vying to be our lower league local rivals. I remember well an ex girl friend warning me to be careful visiting Scotland because the Rochdale posse were planning a warm reception… needless to say I laughed at the thought.

My 2 favourite teams, started watching the Dale at Spotland as a kid standing on mud banks with floodlights on telegraph poles until my parents allowed me to go to Turf Moor when I was 14 in 1959.

Typos are funny but autocorrect can be funnier elwaclaretelwaclaret wrote: ↑Tue Sep 21, 2021 4:13 pmHaha.. Spotland is more famous as Byron’s home than as a football club…. Thank you autocorrect.
Re: PREVIEW: Rochdale at the Turf – it’s been a long time
One of my memories of Spotland was a preseason friendly (back in the early 90's) where my m8 Mike was having a pre match liedown in the sun (one or 2 libations were obviously involved) and Rocky standing on his foot, falling over, and landing on him (Rocky was more p***ed than my m8 Mike) Mike passed away a few years ago out in Cyprus where he had moved to, and we often joked about that and other away day memories...

A bit of a random question...but does anyone know of a website where you can find players who played for both clubs?
