The day I make my first trip to Spo.... sorry the Crown Oil Arena, to use my shiny new season ticket is fast approaching.
So any tips on making sure I have a memorable (for the right reasons) day, will be much appreciated.
I will be from London on the train via Leeds. Probably take a stroll to the ground from the station. |  |

As a casual and somewhat neutral reader of this thread I have to say Dale fans have taken it in a very odd direction.
A bloke who seems enthused by his new found team and makes a first time visit to Spotland only for Dale fans to hound him into proving he was actually there?
Why should he have to prove anything? All it serves as is a turn off for his desire to attend again and his general affiliation with Dale dwindles.
Instead of being congratulated he is being accused of lying merely because he didn't take up the offer of 'making himself known' by anonymous people on the internet.
He's not been made welcome into the 'Dale family' at all in fact quite the opposite... would I return if I was James after the accusations on this thread? No. [Post edited 28 Aug 2017 10:36]

But your links to photos just lead to error pages and show nothing, yet you can post YouTube videos. Strange that. |
It is strange yes and somewhat frustrating that the pics I posted can't be viewed. | |

Strange Roccydalian that you are so fascinated regarding needing proof of attending by a man who seems to have an interest in Dale?
James1980, if you are reading this I would give up with this lot. Try another club who may appreciate your support more!

Thank you for the invite but I will remain loyal to Rochdale and continue to go up and watch them when I can next match the Blackburn game | |

Suit yourself. Enjoy being pressured into meeting people you don't know and taking pictures to prove attendance.

Have you ever read your own forum when someone slightly suspicious appears? |  |
| When I was your age, I used to enjoy the odd game of tennis. Or was it golf? |

Nothing similar as to what has happened in this thread from what I can see.. would you like to provide an example? | | | |

There is an incorrect conclusion that I have been caught out. Some questions that were clearly testing me were not answered correctly, but that was due to me not paying attention to my surroundings. | |

Not right at this moment but I've seen it several times, where someone has posted slightly left-field opinions and immediately gets accused of being a Fail fan. | |

Whether I can prove it or not I know I went at the weekend. I enjoyed my trip overall but disappointed with the game but understand from what I have read on other threads that perhaps a point and clean sheet was a good result.
The wider issue is what am I actually being accused of and why it was felt necessary to target me. | |

Because some people need to protect their precious club from nasty liars saying they are going to a game when they don't.
The accusations are almost as boring as lying about coming to watch the game about it would be. Bizarre either way. If you came hope you enjoyed it. If you didn't so what. |  | | |

Hope you enjoyed the game James - don't care if these sad bastards on here are trying to catch you out (for whatever reason, don't see the point myself - why would you like about this?).
Come to think of it, I've never posted any pictures of Spotland, perhaps I've never been either?

Thank you. I am sorry not to have had a chat with the photographer, although considering the situation Saturday I expect I would have been a hassle that wasn't needed. | |

Oh yeah, neither have I. I might not have been either. I might be one of those sad bastards who post on a Dale supporters forums, but never actually go. Still got an old coat with a Dale badge on it though to keep up the pretence.....
Seriously though, think this thread has run it's course now. I hope James enjoys the Blackburn game. UP The Dale. | | | |

Until Saturday I had seen them play away just not at home. The season ticket deal happened to coincide with a promotion and not having to work Sunday's, I managed to book enough Saturday's off to make buying the season ticket worthwhile, plus as you will see from one of the pics I get heavily discounted rail travel (hence not looking for a ticket machine, because they don't give priv discount). I am looking forward to the Blackburn game and of course, Up The Dale | |

Be sure to bring your proof of ID James. There will be a queue of odd looking middle-aged blokes ready to inspect it. |  |
