Really Enjoyable Awayday - Thanks Rochdale

[William Henry Foulkes]

Got there early, went to the bar behind the stand, good mixing with their fans and so many of ours, great programme (entertaining and informative), decent music, good view from the stand, tasty pie, served by friendly and helpful staff.

Thanks to all concerned

 

[William Henry Foulkes]

Bloody phone - really wish you could edit these thread titles.

 

[Borbokisfreekick]

How many Blades were there?

 

[cal the blade]

How many Blades were there?

1600 and a few more

 

[William Henry Foulkes]

I heard people say 1600 or 1700 but filling one side of the ground it seemed like more.

That said any gathering of people bigger than about 20 all looks the same to me, so for all I know we could've taken 30 000.

You could hear music? I could hardly hear a thing, the announcer sounded like mickey mouse on helium using a megaphone from somewhere deep in the main car park.

Enjoyed the three pints of Pride of Pendle in The Cemetery Inn though. Plus the three points etc was nice.

Music and tannoy came across really clearly on the radio comms. You need to set your hearing aid to the T position

Twat?

Yeah, was enjoyable, stewards helpful and friendly too. Liked the 'handball' stuff

Although it's amusing, I think on this occasion it somehow raised the home team tempo resulting in their goal.

Probably right actually!

 

[awblade]

My foot long hot dog was great. Not so great, the match. but we got the win and saw two really good goals. Their goal and Mcnulty's, although his doesn't look quite so good from that poor camera angle

Yes. The one followed the other pretty quickly. I was wondering at the time if it might have made us complacent.

Can't disagree there!

Her in the kitchen wants to know what it's like to have 12'' in your mouth as she has only had my 4''

Looked a bit limp to me.

 

[Fulwood Blade]

Yes enjoyed the night.

Decent trip over the snake
Great directions - thanks trigerblade - no need to put yer winders thro!
Nice pint of Tim Taylors before.
Great 12" hot dog
Nice view (right of centre line
Great playing surface
Decent support
Solid if not spectacular team performance
Possibly seen our goal of the season - well a certain contender.
Nice trip back - no traffic........were you the speed jockey in the light blue 14 plate Beemer flying over the snake trying to catch last pint before closing? Jeez you were shifting - M5 I thought, but it was a blurrrrrrrrrr......nice sound as it flew past me.

Shit tannoy - only complaint really........except for - if you are going to throw and do the pyrotechnics stuff - make sure it's fucking red next time !

UTB

 

[sitwell]

So wished Id had a hot dog now ,you've spoiled my night saying it was nice. Fucking piegate 4 shits today and theres 2 hours left yet. Havent risked a fart since this morning.

 

[Blade82]

£4.00 a pint in the ground the cheeky bastards.

Best thing about the place is the chippy opposite the away end.

 

[Hartley Hare]

I also enjoyed a couple of pints in the Cemetery Inn before and after the game.

I had two of those meat and potato pies. Well potato pies with a hint of meat. A couple of squirts of BS made a big difference.

I was a bit disappointed with the overall performance, two up and clearly playing the better football we became too defensive, lacked ambition, and once they scored we seemed to go further into our shell. They were not that much of a threat but we made it easy for them. Aimless long punts which just came straight back. Not very convincing at all.

Murphy didn't seem to get in the game as much as normal, and coutts was knackered and substituted.

Still we did enough and grabbed another three points. Certs for the play-offs now. Can we grab second? Not sure. I have a feeling it will be close.

Thaks to whoever fixed the title of this thread.

 

[vorpal blade]

Roger Irrelevant here. Has anyone seen a goalkeeper wearing as similar a kit to the rest of his team as appeared to be the case at Rochdale?

 

[vorpal blade]

especially as it looks like the ref. made us wear white shorts because they had blue ones on!
