A huge following and not a peep from Rochdale. The only noise I heard all game was the 20/30 mindless thugs that were in the pub after the game. To quote 'we go every game away, we dont watch the football, we go to cause trouble'.

Now if we're talking about how fans portray themselves to others surely the actions of the idiots in the Pub, are worse than a few sporadic chants aimed at a town with highest unemployment rate in the country. Anyway i'll leave the politics.

People are very quick to throw the negative on us, particularly considering many who criticise didnt see or hear the Clayton End yesterday. The clayton end was epic, packed to the rafters. I'd go as far to say our backing played a huge part in the fightback from our players. Coleman and Jimmy received an outstanding welcome before and after the game, whats your thoughts on that? Surely its more of a talking point.

Its a local derby fueled by passion and emotions. The chants do not insinuate that everyone in Rochdale is involved in the 'topic' just as everyone in Morecambe is not a cockler, every player for Chelsea is a not Racist, its topical its banter.In fact a few things were aimed in our direction when Stan the Monkey was publicised and the Gambling saga came to light. I didnt take offence and nor should anybody else. We didnt sing about rape, or the abuse to Children, people are looking to far into it and deciphering it down to be personal to all Rochdale fans.

The term 'banter' is used often but thats all it is. It wasnt taken too far as people are making out.
