Just bought mine. £27.50 (including booking fee and delivery) for this one. Scandalous price for L2 football. Better hope this train strike doesn't screw me over.
You could have picked it up at the Northampton game tbf (assuming you're going of course). But yeah, it is a bit on the steep side of vertical.

I'm on holiday in France mate, back on Monday. LNER are only running one train up to Leeds from London(in the evening) and one the other way (first thing in the morning), so that's a fat lot of good for me. Having to book an Airbnb for two nights and travel up on Friday and back on Sunday now for this. Am I heckers like staying in Rochdale though, so will be in Todmorden.

Will you be walking from station to the footy? Any good places to stop on the way for a pint?

From Rochdale station? Or Tod? I'm bloody hoping there's trains from Tod to Rochdale! Both times I've been to Rochdale I've hardly had much time, so just took whatever pubs I could find. Remember it being a fair walk though. Both times were pre-smart phones for me though and remember having directions printed out, so I'm not the best for recommendations really but if anyone else on here has any let us know? I'll be flying solo so any Town fans (either those I've met or haven't met before) wanting a pint at some point in the day let me know.

Debating whether to use train from ilkley or drive. Either way hope for a good day out. I’m told it’s over 2 miles from Rochdale station to the ground……uphill…..

Just less than 2 miles. I wouldn’t describe it as uphill, if you walk past the Asda. If you head SW to (what used to be known as) Tesco Roundabout, and then head north up the north face of Roch Valley Way (past the sewage plant), it’s pretty steep up to The Cemetery Hotel (pub).

There’s a couple of decent micropubs in the town centre. The best larger pubs are probably The Baum and The Flying Horse Hotel. My wife’s from Bury and has never let me go in The Cemetery Hotel near the (Rochdale) ground.

I don't get it, does that make me a young whipper snapper?

There’s been no statement as regards how many we’ve sold. Has anyone asked on the phone or when they’ve been to collect them? I suspect the rail strike and £24 a throw has put a not insignificant number of people off.

When I got my tickets Wednesday they were at around the 650 mark.
