Hill wants Dale to create own history
18 January 2008
Hill is sick of hearing about the club's inglorious past and has urged his talented young side to seize the moment when they head to Wembley.
"We're here to make history - I'm sick of hearing about the history of the football club and what we haven't done," said an emotionally-drained Hill.
"We talk about making our own history and creating history for other people to talk about.
"History doesn't interest me - I did it at school and I used to fall asleep.
"This club shouldn't be seen as a small club.
"We are nurturing a very good young squad here and we want to be successful.
"That's how ambitious the players and the coaching staff are.
"We want to be ambitious and we want to get into League One. That's our aim now."
The Lancashire outfit have not won a promotion since 1969 and have been in the bottom tier of English football since 1974 - the longest unbroken run in the basement division of the Football League.
