For anybody staying over, the Rochdale Feel Good festival is taking place on the same day. Similar to what Tramlines used to be in Sheffield, several pubs have DJ's, music and comedians on with a main outdoor venue at Rochdale College. Fratelli's headlining the outdoor stage and it's a grand cost of £8 a ticket. Also finishes in time for the last train back to Manchester.

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.

Ah nice cheers for that. Any idea what the micropubs are called? I might head to Vocation in Hebden Bridge for a few and then onto Rochdale from there maybe.

The Pint Pot & D’Ale House.

D’Ale House looks a cross between a brothel and a vape shop from the outside.

On reflection, I can't really justify the expense of making this into a full weekend away so if anyone is driving up and down from London and wants some company/petrol money then please let me know.

Otherwise, if anyone needs a ticket then PM me. I'll send you mine recorded delivery for £20 so you'd be getting it cheaper than face value and with free delivery.

Only 950 tickets sold, surprised we haven't shifted more. Last night should make a few minds up

I wonder if a consequence of the amazing season ticket sales might be that away followings will reduce? I would have gone to Leyton Orient last season but couldn't justify that and Rochdale after forking out for season tickets. So picked Rochdale but have the opening game a miss.

Probably the cost of living biting, lots of people having shelled out on ST, probably just been on holiday or going on holiday or even away on holiday. That and it being £24 a throw plus the rail strike probably means it’ll knock a good few hundred off what it could be.

Saturday is a game we really need to winning, I’m a tad apprehensive given how poorly they’ve started the season but we need to start winning games in the league sooner rather than later.


I've wasted my life in black and white, a pathetic act for a worthless cause

I imagined the first two away games to sell out and whilst Orient eventually did, tickets weren’t too hard to come by.

Rochdale, although not far is still an expensive day out. At its cheapest for a dad and lad it’s £31 just for tickets, at its most expensive it’s £38. Then include fuel money, food and drink and it’s the best part of 80/90 quid. People simply don’t have the cash.

Then factor in that folk are on holiday and kids are off so again, they’ll allocate money to family days out etc or might not even be here to attend.

I wonder, if Rochdale had been mid October if we’d have seen the tickets snapped up much quicker?

I mean we laughed at scunny cancelling a bus but we’d have to admit, we all assumed tickets for Rochdale would’ve smashed 1000 easy.

Fact is, there’s various reasons for the slow uptake on tickets and I suspect across many of the divisions teams are seeing the same. Sadly, whilst we all love our clubs, I suspect we also prefer to feed our kids and heat our homes…that electricity and gas stuff is significantly more important than Rochdale v Grimsby at Spotland, or whatever name they’re calling it now.
