Is this true? I'm sceptical about the site, so not sure if this is correct or not, anyone else seen anything to back this up, I hope its not correct, we've had our moments against The Dale, but I certainly wouldn't want to see them go belly up.

Well at least you won't have to be dodging dog **** everywhere,

[Mr Mercury]

If they do go bust the both us and Barnet lose 3 points with us both due to play then one more time and Bromley, who’ve played them twice would lose 4 points, 1 win and 1 draw

It says on bbc sport they are fan owned but how can a fan owned club have one guy whos put in half a million? Hope they get a solution soon

That's at grimsby mate

They had to see this off so unsure how much of an issue that caused longer term to lead to this.

All we can do is win on Sat'di.

The rest will take care of itself...

Yes, as he said in his first sentence.

thanks i read it as we and barnet lose 3 points with us both to play them, not that we lose 3 points for the game already played, so in effect we lose 6, barnet 3 and bromley 4? is that correct?

You can't lose points you haven't had chance to play for yet. Bromley have played them home & away so lose 4 points, us and Barnet have only played them once so can only lose 3 points as we both won the games we played.

[spireitetoo]

Let's hope nobody loses points and Rochdale find a new backer, similar sized club to us,and had many a game against them, hope they're saved somehow

That said we do play them this weekend so if we won then we would lose 6 if they go after that but as said lets hope they dont.

[Siberian Spireite]

They have a fan-owned model and predatory investors (quite possibly asset strippers) were trying to buy off enough fans’ shares to take over, if I understand correctly.
Meanwhile, the club has fallen into this cess pit of a league and lost its EFL revenues….. potential new owners can’t just buy the club, and this piece reads like they are trying to change the rules so as that can happen (understandably).

Not surprised, they really do struggle for gates, with Blackburn and Burnley right on the doorstep. They wouldn't have got this far without their wealthy owner bankrolling them.

It's a shame for any club in difficulty, but when we were in trouble, nobody wanted to know.

Other than kick us down.
