It is the fi.si time that Rochdale have been here in a League match since 1963. On that occasion we scored a memorable 5—1 win, with goals from Colin Whittaker (2), Bert Lister (2) and Johnny Colquhoun. Gains score the Rochdale goal and the match was watched by a crowd of almost 15,000. pybiected to the League in 1921, Rochdale have never been higher than the Third vision. They were last promoted from the Fourth in 1969, and for a time looked potential promotion prospects again. But they fell away towards the end and are now, like ourselves, lodged near the middle of the Third Division table. Our last meeting in September ended in a 1—1 draw. Jim Fryatt who scored our goal in that game is no longer with us, but we hope for more than that today. today’s referee PAT PARTRIDGE, from Middlesbrough, Teeside BEGAN REFEREEING IN 1953.
