Rochdale

Quoted from Mariner_09

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.

,"How poorly we have started the season" .We lost at Orient who have won both games .We played 1 of the favourites Northampton off the park on Saturday and only got a point .Then wallop Crewe last night .How is that starting the league poorly. We are 2 league games in

“They”, as in Rochdale, I assume.

If people think we’ve had a poor start after playing an alleged favourite off the park and being unlucky to get only a point the lm we better give up.

However much Crewe were changed, we dominated, completely. Whoever you’re playing, that’s not easy to do.

In truth, I don’t believe the way we’ve played has anything to do with ticket sales and all to do with cost of living and people prioritising where to spend their money.

That’s said, mocking scunny for cancelling a bus to an away game in Woking on a Tuesday is crass.

We’ve now 3 home games on the spin because of the cup draw, a game STH have to pay for too, whilst good for the club, if you were unsure about Rochdale, money being tight, I know which most will choose to go to.

Quoted from Youngy

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.

I'll give it a very wide bearth

Public transport on Saturday is a joke aswell.

Trains on strike

Whilst TPE are not on strike, TPE are in a state of total disarray currently and are prone to cancelling many trains on all routes, including between Grimsby and Manchester and at times they leave over 2 hour gaps between services.

Not only that It is then a 30 Min tram journey from Manchester to Rochdale and then 30 min walk from the tramp stop to the ground.

So whilst it is commutable, the state public transport is in, some people will be put off.

Quoted from thornemariner

. Home to Man Utd this Saturday. Average cost of a home game with a ST is £26.50 which puts some EFL pricing into perspective.

Perspective, is the amount they (premier league teams) get from tv revenue, sponsorship, shirt sales etc etc

Whilst the £24 ticket will put some off, even at £15 I’m still convinced we’d have seen them fly out the shop, and now with an additional, big home game making it 3 on the spin, people will prioritise.

It’s a combination of things but the team itself shouldn’t even be a consideration, if it is then I’d suspect those fans were drifters anyway…

I went last time we played them away and tend to go to games in that area but simply don't have the spare cash any more my household bills have gone up by nearly 100 quid a week in the last year and income by about 5 quid 😢😢😢

Same, I’m on the bones of my bottom at the minute and it’s only going to get worse come October. Christ knows what the situation will look like in January.

Does anyone know if it's pay in the day?
