Ticket News Rochdale (a) - Thursday 15th May - NL Playoff Eliminator

[Blues4LifeDan]

I have two adult tickets to sell if anyone is interested. I'll take £30 for the pair.

You'll just need to visit the blues box office and quote my name and booking reference number. All if which I'll send to you if you PM me your interest.

 

[Gt Yarmouth Shrimper]

Have been waiting on the phone for 30 minutes waiting for them to answer. I've reverted to sending an e-mail instead.
Hopefully they'll answer before I'm up tomorrow afternoon.

Thanks v much. I'll call the club in the morning to get the ticket changed. Could have sworn that it said "collect at Rochdale" when I ordered it onine.

 

[Gt Yarmouth Shrimper]

That's a universal malady on Football Forums. I have no doubt that we have some that are planning their wording now.

The pitchforks are being sharpened and lanterns readied as we speak!

Bit like the good old days this ......

Pubs would run a coach for big aways games for their punters

They was like Beano's and everyone used to get ****ed out their heads ..lol

...............only used to???

It will be busier closer to the match. You also must remember we have around 25% of the fanbase you have, so it's bound to look sparse in comparison to here. It won't be sparse if we lose and don't play well, mind...

I'll be up well before rush hour but thanks

 

[Liam AAS]

Exactly. I think there needs to be some clarification from the club if this is still the way forward or if they are even aware now? Can this be brought up in the next liason meeting?

[Tommy2holes]

any idea of the cost ?

I've PM you mate

 

[SUFCJK]

Ticket collection from Southend is easy just give first and last name and they’ll get you your tickets… you don’t need to give all the names of the group booking just the orignal purchasers name

 

[Bazza the dog]

Only 300 left.

I can''t see us selling more than 150 on top of that which will give us about 1300 plus fans up there which really is superb, considering.

Yes, same here. Gave up on the phone after 20 mins. Email sent around midday, no reply yet.

Rochdale fan here. This post aimed at the people like myself who centre an away trip on a reet good drink. For those arriving by train,around the station there is absolutely nothing. I did read an earlier “tongue in cheek” request of what the brass houses were like!! Well,if you like your women with one tooth in their head and track marks up their arms then the back of the station is for you my friend. For the rest,head to town,10 minute walk,or a tram right outside the station takes 2 minutes. Cask and Feather is a pub half way down Drake Street,for those walking. It has in last couple of seasons sold itself as an “away fan” pub.
In town centre,everything there. Those who are booked into the Hampton,perfect spot,2 minute walk. Near transport interchange you have Spoons,Hogarths (like Spoons but with music and TV’s) and 3 micropubs. Round the corner is the Town Hall Square,row of 3 pubs,Flying Horse by far the best for real ale. Seats outside overlooking what I consider the most beautiful town hall in Britain. 5 minutes walk out from town is The Baum,good real ale,fantastic beer garden.
Don’t bother walking to the ground,it’s 20 minutes of your life you won’t get back. Used to be 7pubs on Spotland Road,now 0,could link that in to the mentioned posts of the town being a “****hole”. Could describe at least another 50 towns like ours,where the whole fabric of the place has changed in the last 30 years,but that’s a debate for another day.Taxi rank outside Spoons. Either head to The Cemetery,real ale staple for years,15 minutes walk to the ground. A good alternative now is the converted Spotland Bridge Mill,5 minutes walk to the ground. Has the Twisted Mule (real ale),open at 4pm,next door is the Defiance Gin Bar,a “cool” gaffe for Rochdale really,opens at 5pm.
Up at the ground we have the Ratcliffe,the stadium bar,JW Lees,a local independent brewery is the real ale provider. To soak it up you have one of the best traditional English chippys in the country right across the road from the away end on Wilbutts Lane.
Recap for the best kept real ale. Flying Horse,The Baum,The Cemetery and Twisted Mule.
Enjoy the game

Superb overview thanks. I was going to hit the Peak District on the way up. Any recommendations N of Rochdale as an alternative? (1-2 hour hike). Plan to be in hotel by 5 and pub five mins later. You may have lost pubs but you won’t have lost a decent drink! None of this soft southern lager sheite or, worse, Stella.

I’m sure the ****hole slur was partly tongue in cheek. I can’t make it think of worse towns surrounding Manchester (and then we have our very own high street!).

Checkout Oldham.

Weve been recommended the Rochdale Sports Club. Apparently can park there free and its a 5 min walk to the ground. Dont think its a classic northern pub situ but might be good as parking around the ground for us driving is a nightmare normally

What USB type are the charging ports on the coaches?

USB 2.0 on the trust coaches I believe - although I have been on one put on by them before without any sort of charging facilities. Sadly no USB-C yet which is what most recent iPhones use
