That was a remarkable run that ended with us top of division 3.
Big Reg and Dennis Butler each scored 7 goals in that run of games. Looked like the run was coming to an end in the Reading game when we went 2-0 down. comeback topped off by Derek Ryders only goal for the Dale in 185 games he played.
The run ended at Halifax where we lost 3-1 but we beat Mansfield in our next home game to make it 5 home wins on the trot. The Mansfield game was our 10th home game and brought the total attendance to over 76000.
