Rochdale

[Reading Rebel]

Rochdale have announced their allocation of 350 including 75 seats go on sale tomorrow, starting with season ticket holders.

 

 

If the game is segregated will the club be bringing in a stand of 75 seats for the Rochdale allocation?

[GlenSTFC]

That’ll be extra costs, you’d presume the smaller seated stand is where the 75 seats will be?

[A Rebel and a Saint]

As far as I'm aware they're going to be seated in one end of the East stand with the Rochdale fans occupying the St Joseph's corner of the ground with some of the covered end, with the necessary facilities provided out on the service road.

Seems odd out on the road when there’s plenty of space on that side of the ground?

[A Rebel and a Saint]

Yes but the access into the ground isn't that great.

[GeorgeS]

What ground capacity has been set for the game?

[Stan]

It's 1950 as per original certification. Ground comfortably holds 3000+ but facilities , - toilets ,catering and bar would need upgrading

[redwine rebel]

Seaon ticket holders first, really how odd

[Irishadrian]

Yes but only 1 per season ticket

[Gashimoto]

Is that a fair way of doing it?

 

???????

[GlenSTFC]

Not a dig at all, just surprised no news about how many tickets sold/left as I doubt it sold out on Saturday and there could be hundreds waiting to hear? I’m sure I read somewhere the club would announce early this week which has now passed.

[Irishadrian]

I wouldn't be surprised if there are some returns from Rochdale There was little enthusiasm for a Monday night game on their forum and other social media and lots of enquiries about venues showing the game in their area Although its new to us this will be the sixth time Rochdale have had an FA cup game on live telly so not a new experience for them.

Perhaps they've had to have a recount      

[Craig Minter]

The wheatsheaf will have the game on, as If I can't get a ticket, I will make sure of that. You would have served me me in the Moon all those years ago, as I have been drinking in there, since the pub opened in 1996

 

If i remember correctly... Abbot Ale on the sofa in front of the bar!

 

Cheers for the info on the pub!

[A Rebel and a Saint]

The remaining tickets will be sold before Tuesday's game.

[GlenSTFC]

Wonder how many are left as to me limited would suggest a few hundred. I know some would be against it but I think the club are right to sell the remaining tickets at the next home game. Midweek crowds are traditionally lower than Saturday’s so it’ll hopefully boost the crowd in what is another vital league game.

I'd say some clever marketing from the club and fully justified.

[GlenSTFC]

Yeah all for it, Tuesday we may normally expect 500 odd but now it could be 600-700. Hopefully we’ll sell out once this last batch goes on sale. Wonder if Rochdale will sell all their allocation considering their current form plus the other factors?

Quite correct, and don't forget the book

 

Although the Brickhouse has BT Sport as well, as probaly do several other pubs, but for the game against Gainsborough Trinity, they put the Rebels Radio live feed on, and did some food, apparently there was quite an atmosphere
