Luton fly out on the 19th July, which is the same time as the Dale behind closed door game.

Junior Dale in the 1980s
at 09:27 15 Sep 2025

Morning everyone.

Many of you will know that I am writing a fortnightly column in TVOS this year. I want to write an article on Junior Dale in the 1980s and early 90s. I have a few memories myself and a few stories I can write about. However, I am keen to hear any other memories that people have that I can include in the article.

Thanks – Dave

Morning everyone.

I am writing an article on the Fighting Fund for a well-known local publication.
I vividly remember the guys that manned the Tea huts from my childhood. Jack Ashworth was one of them, I shall feature him in the article, Thanks for the info above.

Does anyone else have any more info about the fighting fund, from when it was set up, to the people involved. I am of course doing my own research, but any extra information I receive makes the article more informative and, in my view, brings it to life.

Thanks

I thought they only did that for Division 2 (The Champ). I have a book which is all the panini sticker albums from about 85-93. I will take a look.

I stumbled upon my panini 1987 sticker album the the other day. I had a flick through it to look at Players/Managers with Dale links

Charlton has two players that would go on to play for Dale
Chelsea one person who would go on to have a Dale connection
Man city two players who would have Dale connections
Sheff Wed one player who would go onto have a Dale connection

10 bonus points to whoever can name them all.

Cheese and onion pie tips are always welcome.

Another related question…. Best pie eaten in the national league last year ?

I wonder how much input Sam Beckwith had into this signing. They both came through the Luton Ranks from an early age, so i am guessing may have played together several times....

Thanks for all your help guys.

On Friday night we ended up at the Moorcock Inn. Cheese and Onion Pie and Mushy peas. quite pricey i thought. Great Views out of the back of the pub.

Saturday night we ended up at the Oxford Inn. Very busy, Cheese and Onion pie and Mushy Peas (if it aint broke...). Nice walk around Whitworth Res to try and walk off the pie.

stop press. The Mrs is thinking the Oxford followed by a nice walk around Whitworth Res with the Kids. Spent half my time walking around that Res back in the day.

Thanks all.

Appreciate all the suggestions. Does the red lion in whitworth do food then? And the place in Tod, is that the pub known as Lumbutts?

I will get the Mrs to look into the other places

I'm back home in Rochdale this weekend with the family. Saturday PM i said i would take the Mrs and Kids to a decent pub for some grub.

Requirements are...out of Rochdale somewhere, out on the Moors or countryside, decent grub, kids friendly, probably with 7/8 mile of Rochdale.

Any Recommendations?
