help_shiny Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 would be very very surprised if we dont sell this out. Myself and big bruv are going and neither of us have been to Latics since March. It's *that* big. One of Europe's top derbys,not a sell out? No way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjk2008 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 We're not going to sell 3000 straight away so I think I can take my time before snapping one up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
help_shiny Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 well the ticketing portal crashed on me when I was buying my pair. I took that to mean ferocious demand, hundreds of people hitting refresh all at once. You could claim it's purely that Latics' ticket portal is biz but you're be wrong.

jsslatic Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I'm just focused on getting a ticket for Orient. It's the only one that matters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego_Sideburns Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 It appears that while some are rushing to buy Dale tickets, some are waiting to see if Latics are in the top six and others are trying to find the cash for trips to Peterborough, Chesterfield, Bristol City and Sheffield United in the hope of encouraging the team into such a lofty position.

OAFCM35 Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 (edited) Be prepared to lose 2 hours of your day stuck in the away end, whilst 2500 other Latics fans have been let out on time, just because the police think a bunch of kids sat around you may be a threat to home fans. I'm sitting in the home end watch out for the fat bald bloke going mental when forte slots home the opener ;) Edited October 6, 2014 by OAFCM35 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BP1960 Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 If it's like previous occasions they don't open the gates too early at Rochdale, leaving long winding queues outside to face the elements. I have always thought this strange as the earlier they let fans in the more they are likely to spend on refreshments inside the ground.

NewBlue Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 (edited) Personally, I don't feel any dislike or rivalry with Dale, and I hardly see it as a derby - they've been lower tier, other than the one occasion, for decades and they're a smaller club than ourselves by quite a distance. I'll be going because it's so local and I wouldn't pass on the chance to be with 3000 Latics fans in an away end. As for this match, I want to win it equally to any other, and no more. Yorkshire teams like Huddersfield, Bradford etc. I would see as far greater rivalries, and perhaps Lancashire sides such as Wigan or Burnley, if we ever got the chance to play in the same league regularly again. Another better rivalry, probably less so, due to being similar size and sharing the same league for a long time: Tranmere. When a club can hardly muster over 1000 fans to bring to their most local away game I can't get enthused over the rivalry.

Definition of 'derby' : (derby or local derby) British A sports match between two rival teams from the same area. I would say that Rochdale fits that definition pretty well.

I would say that Rochdale fits that definition pretty well. It does, but NewBlue is right in what he's saying... If we drubbed huddersfield/preston/tranmere 3-0 away with 3000 tics away in a play off season, id prefer that to beating rochdale 3-0 with 3000 tics away.

Both would be equally satisfying to me, the fact we will sell out at Rochdale and only took around 800 to Preston and about the same to Tranmere last season shows you which one the fans want to be at.

4froale Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 ^^^ spot on, they are less than five miles away and are currently a few places above us, I see this as a derby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShireBlue Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 I reckon Oldham vs Rochdale has the potential to become a decent derby. We might sing about rivalries with Man Utd and City (and Leeds), when really the likes of Dale and Bury are much more realistic. The fact Dale spent so long in League 2 without us playing them has but any meaningful rivalry "on ice". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewBlue Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Owdumer - (it won't let me quote) It's just the way it is. When teams like Huddersfield pack the RRE, and we go to their place and take 2000 and the atmosphere is rocking in home and away end it's incomparable to the following Dale bring to BP. Also there is very little recent relevant history or bad blood either between clubs. The feeling is not exclusive to any club. Blackpool no doubt see Preston as greater rivals than neighbouring Fleetwood. Palace, who have lots of clubs on their doorstep but whose biggest rivalry is with Brighton. Forest with Derby, rather than Notts. Tranmere see us as their biggest rival now! There will be other examples as well. All subjective, and I dislike the Yorkshire clubs far more than Dale, hence why I feel like that's the more intense rivalry to me. In time if Dale establish themselves in League 1 and we play them regularly it might feel more fierce. Lots of clubs change their rivals according to their situations.

Monty Burns Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 I too care little about rochdale. I am glad that others care tho, as I would rather we had 3000 away fans than the pitiful following we took to preston. Just for the lift it gives the players if nothing else.

oafc-latics Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Rochdale see Bury as their main rivals too, they hate eachother. Hopefully they can stay in L1 for a while and we can build up a rivalry rather than pretend a proper one exists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
