Monty Burns Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Couldnt give a toss about rochdale, better than playing mcdons or sumat, but I dont really care about them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigfatjoe1 Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Rochdale has the same intesity of a game with Mossley or Ashton ie none. It was always perfectly acceptable for fans of both clubs to pop along for the odd game without any animosity - there has never been a history, tension or any real animosity. It's a bit like the Nottingham clubs in terms of relations. It might come over time if we stick around each other, but even last year the atmosphere was quite disappointing. It's just not like Bolton in the 1970s or even City in the 80s and 90s (one-siided rivalry though it was). Neither is it like Huddersfield. Their big derby rival has always been Leeds, but for me this has always been a match with edge and a degree of intensity which you need in a derby. We might be next to each other, but it just doesn't have the feel of a derby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex_balls Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 we seem to dislike alot of clubs, wigwam, burnley, city, hudds, dogdale etc do any of them actually give a t05s about us? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryBosch Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 another theory is that we're faced with the same problem in that we both inhabit towns where the majority support United or City rather than Rochdale or Oldham we feel each others pain rather than dislike each other the same could be applied to Stockport Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spadam Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 I am not really bothered about Rochdale more looking forward to Huddersfield. I am glad they are doing well. It's nice having a few local games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogdale_latic Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 i was unfortunately born in dogdale and still live and work in the hell-hole but have only ever supported latics. believe me this has the potential to be a hugh derby and proper rivalry if given a chance and after all the :censored:e I have had to put up with since last years home game I for one hope we give them a serious beating tomorrow (or a jammy 1-0er) either way we have to win and this game certainly means something to me. (I do however agree that generally speaking as something to look forward too 'away' derbies are much better than 'home' ones). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yard Dog Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 (edited) Thats a big turnout then? We just took day trippers. There'll always be a few of those at the better attended away games, but I don't really agree with you 100%....we've played Dale a few times now at their's with the League Cup, Rose Bowls, abandoned game and rearranged games etc and took plenty every time.

oafc-latics Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 (edited) my dad goes watching dale when latics are away so for him, he likes to see both teams doing well. personally, i'm an oldham fan and when the teams play im only supporting one team but i do like to see dale do alright. i wouldnt say there's a rivalry there just yet, and if there is its because people want there to be, not because both teams naturally hate each other (like manchester/liverpool/north london derbies) saying that though, im missing the game tomorrow and im really annoyed because the crowd will be bigger and there should be more of a buzz. give it time, or a bad tempered game and there'll be a proper derby but it's just two local teams playing each other at the moment with an excuse to make a bit more noise than normal. compared to the hudds home game, i'd want to win that more because theres the lancashire/yorkshire connection and they should be finishing higher up with their stadium and players so beating them seems more enjoyable Edited August 19, 2011 by oafc-latics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeylandLatic Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 It would feel more like a proper derby if we were allowed to share Rochdale Rd stand. Atmosphere likely to be a tad flat I reckon which is a shame. Agreed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OAFCKeepTheFaith Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 They've sold < 1k according to their forum. No excuse for that dire following. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldhamSheridan Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 They've sold < 1k according to their forum. No excuse for that dire following. Other than the price of the game and the categorisation of games. Don't know if it is the case, but bloody good reasons for not watching two :censored: teams in the third division.

HarryBosch Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 what a load of bollocks this £23 excuse is hasn't it been £20 plus for about 5 years in most areas of the ground??

Take your pick, but £23 is at least £8 overpriced for the :censored: we watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_ragg1984 Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Biggest game of the season, until we play th at their place. When they beat us last season it was embarrassing. When they finished above us last season, it was embarrassing. We can start putting it right today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not sure why they are bitching about the cost of the tickets, its not as though they have to spend any petrol money or coaches, on the grand scheme of it, its probably their cheapesst away match, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc_lover Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 the simple fact is this. They are either our derby or we don't have a derby. They are the nearest club too us barring city and are at about our level playing wise imo which will bring a bit more spice this season. At the end of the day Rochdale have had to make do with bury and we've had to make do with trannies or hudds. Give it a few seasons and it'll be a proper derby.

NOTHING else has gone up as little in cost in this country over that time period I'd moan if it was £23 evry game but would happily pay it for a derby in the new catergory structure (would understand if Dale catergorised matches the same way)... 1000 is piss poor, no doubt about that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yard Dog Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 RockyLatic will be on soon making OldhamSheridan-style excuses for another piss-poor following from dale. Totally agree with HarryB and Lukers and longtime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostofcecere Posted August 20, 2011 Author Share Posted August 20, 2011 They are hiding behind the £23 excuse. It's 4 or 5 miles away FFS! If you went to Chesterfield and it was £20, it would cost you a hell of a lot more than £3 to get there. The entrance price is only one factor in the cost of an away day. We would still have 3000 at there place if it was £23 no doubt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldhamSheridan Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 (edited) Don't get me wrong. Rochdale are a small team and won't bring many. They don't have a shed load of fans due to being largely unsuccessful. In my opinion it means their current fans are bloody good fans who stick by their team through thick and thin. Don't really care how many are there. We don't have millions of fans and due to our recent history are every bit as loyal. But, I won't pay ten quid for rice because the curry costs alot.

Our cat c games are cheaper. A Stevenage fan would pay 3 quid less at BP than Spotland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
