I’m in Manchester for work this week (touch I know) and there’s not a single dale shirt here yet.

They don’t fancy it. Plain and simple.

2-0 blues hopper and Coker pit your house on it.

it's going to be a hard game but can we do it? of course we ruddy well can! COYBB

For anyone that maybe sitting on the fence because of transport.

The railway are putting on a coach and have 5 spaces left.

If interested. Drop me a PM and I will link you in

Whilst I would be tempted to keep the same team but feel Bone offers more than Hopper so would make just the one change

Sorry mate but why would there be any Rochdale shirts in MANCHESTER, thats 20 miles apart, tbh though you dont see too many Rochdale shirts in Rochdale either. I dont know about not "fancying it" , it all depends on which team can handle the nerves on the night both sides play decent football and are in good form, heres to a good one :)

Can someone let me know what this post relates to and what it's got to do with the Rochdale game please?

Something to do with Bim Pepple I am guessing?

Bim Pepple, and the wrong thread (transfer thread probably), it happens.

Away on holiday for a week so was afraid would miss watching the game but took my "IPTV access pack" with me on the off-chance. Two non-smart tvs fixed to the wall but after a lot of neck craning and feeling about, discovered an accessible HDMI slot. Nearly broke my wrist getting plugged in, but turned on, selected input and voila!! For some strange reason, my wife didn't share my delight saying"Well, we'll have to see what we're doing on Thursday". When I replied ( with a fair degree of logic) "Er.......I KNOW what I'm doing!! You'll be packing ready for us to go home Friday" the atmosphere turned distinctly chilly. I expect it was because she's afraid she'll miss the game. COYB!!!

so do I but I don't reckon Kev will drop Hopper as we've been doing well last few games

Kev’s going to name an unchanged side, surely?

I take it the big screen at Roots Hall isn't a thing this time?

I don't think it's ruled out. There may be some news on that this afternoon.

And you clearly can’t sleep with excitement.

yup - I know some guys who paid to play on the pitch - they have been offered a refund or different date.

Something must be brewing......

maybe - unless we really go for it and we go 4-3-3 / 3-4-3..........but I can't see that happening myself
