Mark Wynn Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 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! http://www.hornetsrugbyleague.co.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moorside roughyed Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
