Welcome to Up The Dale, an unofficial website created by an avid fan of Rochdale AFC.
This was created for the set of fans which may be small, but as fiercely loyal and
fanatical as any group of football followers the world over. This success starved
club has overcome overwhelming odds, surviving from its origins in the late 1800´s,
on into the 21st century, when many clubs, some of greater stature have fallen by the wayside,
never to be heard of again. I dedicate these pages to those fans who have, through thick
and thin, travelled the length and breadth of the country, to cheer their heroes on and
to one in particular, who for over 65 years has cheered them on with unwavering undying
support ....... he knows who he is!
