Rochdale

Quoted from Knut Anders Fosters Voles

The Pint Pot & D’Ale House.

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

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.

There is a cap of £30 max for away tickets in Premier League, the EFL should do the same, £25 in Championship and £20 in Leagues 1 & 2. (Half price for concessions)
