Triumph & Disaster 150 Years of Rochdale Hornets

[Mark Wynn]

Like most people I have always said I would love to write a book, especially about my chosen team. Thankfully I was able to make that happen.

Planned 5 years ago and eventually started and finished during lockdown, fellow Hornets fan Jim Stringer and myself with notable contributions from several people along the way have finally completed Triumph and Disaster 150 Years of Rochdale Hornets.

It charts the ebb and flow of Rochdale Hornets over its entire 150 years of existence!

If you are in Rochdale for the next couple of Saturdays it is on sale in the club shop. It is also available online via the club website or London League Publications and from Monday via Amazon, Ebay Books and Kindle.

A true labour of love!

Respect to you (and your colleague Jim) for doing this Mark. I think in the next few years you’ll have a really positive chapter to add as well, Rochdale seem like a club on the up. 

[Mark Wynn]

Thanks Eddie.

Should be a great read !

Well done. Big respect to you both. 

[Richard de la Riviere]

Congratulations! Good luck with this.

If it's half as good as Watersheddings memories for Oldham fans, it'll be a good read for all Hornets fans. It's great when someone who loves the club and has the knowledge writes these books.

Co-author James Stringer and Myself will be doing a signing our book Triumph & Disaster 150 Years of Rochdale Hornets on Saturday (11th) morning 9-12 at Spotland Stadium

A great Christmas gift for yourself or that Rugby League fan in your life!

Just listened and enjoyed the conversation.   Good stuff.  Particularly the point about the affluence of the time for such towns.
