youngen Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 it is imperative that season-ticket holders from the Leesfield Developments Rochdale Road Stand obtain a new ticket as soon as possible to ensure that they can get into Boundary Park. Why is it imperative, if the club has moved the fans with season tickets, they must surely keep aside enough tickets for them. Imagine they sold out with 300 season ticket holders not changing tickets! I dont think thats happening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

opinions4u Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 New Year fixtures are prone to larger than normal crowds. As are local derbies. It could be a tight squeeze. (It really naffs me off that police can close a section of the ground for "safety" reasons and then charge a huge amount for doing so) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rochdale are only getting the large part of the RRE so they're only getting 3000 tickets. The small part of RRE is being kept clear. Although who knows what will happen if Dale manage to sell 3000 tickets they've got so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueJazzer Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 most people? That's just my point. To assume they couldn't fill the RRE is a bit shortsighted. If we can take so many to spotland them they can just as easily bring so many over here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dale barely get much over 3,000 for home games, that was my point and anyone who has been to Bury/Dale games at Gigg Lane knows that they never travel in great numbers They won't fill the big section of the RRE imo.

Plus the Rochdale road end is bigger than the stand we were in. Edited December 1, 2010 by spadam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIKI1234 Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 (edited) I wouldn't say a lot. I would! They managed 3200 home fans on Saturday for what is probably there biggest game of the year. Even when romping the league last season they rarley got over 4000 and in the playoffs semis the season before they only managed 4450 As has been proved we have the potential to get much higher crowds than any of Dales biggest gates last season for what was their most succesful compain for 30 odd years 12000 against blackpool in the playoffs 3 years ago with league games under shez in the play off season getting up to 9000 for the visits of Forest etc. We had a 1300 more home fans against notts county than they had against their biggest rival in this division Dont get me wrong i still think our crowds are rubbish but we have a much bigger fan base than Dale Edited December 1, 2010 by NIKI1234 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RochdaleAFC Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 but we've always been renowned for travelling in (relative) numbers, they've always been renowned for not doing I think that's slightly unfair, we always have pretty much the highest ratio of away support as a percentage of our home support and we took 2,800 to Bury 2 years running and then 2,000 last year on a Monday night which was also live on Sky. I think we will bring between 2,000-2,500 which considering our home support is good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is good support considering your home support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlossopLatic Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 (It really naffs me off that police can close a section of the ground for "safety" reasons and then charge a huge amount for doing so) Is the small section just being held back as a precaution just in case dale really sell out or is it being shut full stop? If its the later. I think its a bit strange really especially if its going to be at 3pm KO if the plod are worried about bother then just move the game forward to 12:30 or even 1pm, its a bit like getting a diet coke with a big mac meal I'm not an ST holder in the RRE and I think some of them moan a little too much about being moved for big games but in this case I think they would have a point.

RochdaleAFC Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 you must be disappointed if you don't sell 3000 tickets for a once in every 30 years match?? Well a couple of weeks ago I would have been but seeing as we could only manage 3,200 or so for the home game then it's not looking likely is it?!

NIKI1234 Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 (edited) Rochdale have just been promoted after a 30 year stay in the bottom division and they can only attract 3200 fans for their biggest game. We have been in this division doing nothing for 15 years and still managed more home fans on a Tuesday night against exeter Edited December 1, 2010 by NIKI1234 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego_Sideburns Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 ...Dont get me wrong i still think our crowds are rubbish but we have a much bigger fan base than Dale A point of information: The town of Rochdale has an estimated population of 95,796 and an estimated total wider borough population of 206,500. The town of Oldham has an estimated population of 103,544 and an estimated total wider borough population of 219,600. We can argue about the accuracy of the estimates, and talk all day about immigrants and the racial issues, but, in a nutshell, the support of both so-called sporting towns is a disgrace.

Diego_Sideburns Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 This fixture will be a test of the Chaddy End acoustics, and I shall have an independent assessor in the RRE, with the result being conclusive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've never been to a dale/bury match then prozac as the last few years they've took up full allocations, bar the night match on sky when just over 2,000 were in the Manny Road End with a couple of flares. Dale like Oldham have one of the best percentage ratio's in the country for away support. They took 1,000 to Wednesday on a night match the other week. They took 600 to Southampton to name but a few.
