Well, blimey, it were sumthin else. Survival to Silverware tells all bout how the Dale, a club always fightin for survival, went from bottom of the National League to play-off champions with their first national trophy. After gettin booted out the Football League, most fans thort the club was doomed, what with the money probblems and all them messy boardroom fights. \u003cbr\u003eBut then the Ogden family come in an' changed everythin. Instead of the old chaos, they brung a new kind of ownwership, focused on community and actually keepin the club alive. It were real grass root stuff—volunteers, fans, and even them who’d given up hope, all pullin together for the badge. It weren’t always pretty, mind, but belief and grit saw ‘em through. \u003cbr\u003eJim McNulty got the lads playin as a proper team again. The Dale started winnin games that looked lost, turnin Spotland Stadium into a fortress. Supporters, young an old, got right behind em, singin their hearts out even when the odds were stacked high. That spirit kept Rochdale pushin, right up til that final whistle at Wembley. \u003cbr\u003eNow, Rochdale’s story is one all soccer fans shud read—a tale of survival, resilience, and finally, a taste of silverware after 119 years of waitin. If ya love football, underdog stories, or just believe in never givin up, this book’s for you.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(218, 32, 42);\"\u003e\u003cu\u003eROYAL MAIL TRACKED 48\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.soccerbooks.co.uk\/collections\/fifa-world-cup\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cu\u003eFascinating Selection of Books – A Must See! \u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePublished: August 3, 2026\u003cbr\u003ePrice: £19.99\u003cbr\u003eHardback: 224 pages\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13: \u003cspan\u003e978-0241726716 \u003cbr\u003eDimensions: 14 x 22 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"PUBLISHED AUGUST 2026","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56964102324604,"sku":"45MAIL","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1060\/2756\/files\/Survival-to-Silverware.png?v=1781775530","url":"https:\/\/www.soccerbooks.co.uk\/bs\/products\/survival-to-silverware-rochdale-promotion-2026","provider":"SOCCER BOOKS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
