Rochdale

[Stan]

Right so important logistics decisions.

Any pre-pub congregations planned ( we will be in the Spoons from 5.30)

What time are most people aiming to get to the ground for? ( we are aiming for 7pm )

Where are the singers standing and what time should the tunes start?

Are we changing ends at Half -Time.

[GlenSTFC]

I would hope match arrangements will be released tomorrow? From the sounds of it we should have access to both stands behind the goal which is another advantage for us. So there shouldn’t be any issues changing ends and it’ll be great to see one stand packed with hopefully a great atmosphere.

[A Rebel and a Saint]

I think the most important question is who is bringing the cardboard and tin foil fa cup?

[GlenSTFC]

I think you’ve just nominated yourself ?

[Craig Minter]

Haha, if you are going to forget i'll bring one for a laugh.

 

So Spoons beforehand?

[Craig Minter]

We are ball number 52 in the draw... which i see is at the ground!

[GlenSTFC]

Yeah didn’t realise either the actual draw would be made at AP with Glenn Hoddle and Jermaine Jenas!

Obviously we'll have to wait for the details from the club but really cannot see supporters being allowed to change ends at half time. 

[Reading Rebel]

Rochdale have sold 'just under 300 tickets' seemingly with left overs being allocated to people on a waiting list.

Where’s the issue with changing ends if Rochdale are segregated on the side of the small stand.

Do we know for definite that Rochdale will only be allocated the bit beside the small stand?

 

With such a large crowd I'd imagine health and safety might come into play as far as changing ends go.

[GlenSTFC]

From what a few people have said Rochdale will be allocated on either the left or right side of the small seated stand. So Slough fans can change ends without needing to pass them plus how can anyone stop fans moving within an area that’s not segregated?

[Reading Rebel]

We'll see tomorrow Glen but I'm more interested to find out how the club have organized the parking arrangements. 

[GlenSTFC]

I doubt they’ll be much if any parking for fans. Remember all the BT trucks/equipment will take up a lot of space. You’ve got a lot more sponsors/guests coming who’ll be guaranteed a space. I’m parking in the town centre and walking!

I mentioned to serveral friends last week, that I thought the draw would be at AP, as the draw for for Round 2, was done at Chorley, which was the Monday game

dont care about parking or where the rochdale fans are ,but what i do care about is that we make a good fist of it, we get right in their faces and give them no time to settle on the ball, we are one big banana skin for them lets make that our big advantage coyr.

Baker says on twitter that Unders is happy to be meeting his hero. Not sure Jermaine 's had that accolade too many times... ahh well each to his own

I wonder if there's a way they could broadcast it over the PA as I would think most people will be in the ground by then. If we all try watching it on our phones we won't get any signal !
