Independent candidate Dave Tully has called out for Rochdale football club to be saved as it faces closure and claimed: “Its part of our way of life.”
Without investment, the fan-owned club will be forced into liquidation after years of “perilous” finances.
Speaking to GB News he said: “I believe that we could do with between 2 and 3 million pounds of investment. As a season ticket holder along with my two sons, that was one of my drives to look after the club which I feel is part of our way of life in the town and it’s got a lot of heritage and a lot of people.
“I mean we’re only a small supported club but there’s 2000 very loyal fans which is it’s a part of their way of life and I feel very strongly that it needs to survive.”
