Who gets the gate money?

Which end do Rochdale normally play towards in the first half, Sandy Lane or Pearl Street?

It used to be Pearl Street, but the manager prefers Sandy Lane these days.

£24 is a complete joke

To be fair, it cost us £22 at your place in February for a significantly worse view with restricted legroom. You get the best stand in the ground at Spotland. We enquired about reducing prices, but the National League said we had to charge the normal admission price.

This will sell out easily.

Imagine being such a tin pot club that you could offer 2700 and yet offer 1400 because you dont want to be out supported.

**** houses

Unfortunately, we believe this is a police decision to allow segregation between the end of Willbutts and the end of Pearl Street after issues at the FA Trophy semi-final. I imagine the club are just as annoyed as it's lost revenue.

You need to get from Piccadilly to Victoria (walk or Metrolink tram), then get a train from there to Rochdale. It's a 20-30 minute walk to the ground and rather circuitous, so my advice is to get a taxi from outside the station (no idea what the cost would be, £3-£4 maybe), or walk down to the town centre, or hop on the Metrolink tram outside the train station and get a taxi in town, probably from outside Wetherspoons for convenience.

You could also get the Metrolink tram from Manchester to Rochdale, but it takes longer and goes via Oldham, which nobody in their right mind wants!!

Hi mate i would say the best way is to get the tram from Picadilly to Victoria from there you can get a train to Rochdale, the station is some distance from the ground so unless you fancy walking for 2 miles i would say the best is to get a taxi from the taxi rank outside the station to the ground. Hope this helps :)

The decision was made before the play-off games were known that this was happening, regardless of who we were playing. Like I said, there was some moronic behaviour at the Spennymoor game and this is the upshot.

What happened out of interest? I saw you lost deep in injury time and I imagine fairly enthusiastic celebrations from the Spennymoor fans at getting to a Wembley final…

 

[Mad Cyril]

You will be sorted for the Semi Final

That is on one of my paleo days though.

Its a sea of mostly black clothing. I thought I was watching in black and white until I saw the fluorescent of the old bill.

That clip was handbags at dawn. Leaving the required 5 metres distance to make it look like you mean business but also giving you a head start should they charge.

Pathetic really.

@shrimperjon If they are keen on throwing around traffic cones i'd suggest not giving your Gateshead outfits another airing. On second thoughts, could be a good disguise

Thanks for the info. Does getting the tram into the town centre reduce the walk?

Hi mate.

What are the local brass houses like please?.

 

[wally4pm]

Are there any fans living in Norfolk who are travelling to Rochdale? If so, can you please message me so I can contact you. Thanks

Hi mate.

I wouldn't go near them, I bet they are Manc...

Apologies if this has already been said but planning to take the coach for this one, how do you go about booking this as have not used before?

A large group of "younger" fans decided to come into the Pearl Street stand for that game, which actually made for a good atmosphere. However, when some Spennymoor fans ran onto the pitch after the penalty shoot-out, a large proportion of those who had decamped to Pearl Street took offence, which the police and stewards weren't ready for. There were a few punch-ups on the pitch, which quickly dissipated, but it wasn't a pleasant scene.

By limiting Southend's allocation and putting you in the middle blocks of Willbutts, it should remove the chance of something similar happening, although I'd be amazed if anyone from either side invaded the pitch after this game, given the winners still have to win again to get to Wembley.
