Any other Dale Exiles on this board that will be going to this Saturday's Exiles day at Spotland?
I will be travelling up from deepest Essex and hope to meet up with other Exiles on the day.
Maybe round off the day with a drink or two at the Cem! |  | | |  |

Done this trip a few times myself 😜 I came back in the promotion season to see us lose 1-0 away at barnet. Managed to score a lift down to the game of a great fake fan and his son. Really poor game but fantastic day |
Was booked in for this but cannot now make it due to Visa issues so a mate from Preston has taken my ticket.
Have done it 3 times before and it is a great day, and nice to see it is pretty much sold out
Enjoy the day ( I am on Dale player instead - not quite the same!!!)
Even more gutted to have missed it with that result. Might need to plan for Wembley !! [Post edited 16 Apr 2016 17:05]

While I'm not technically an exile (I still get to a decent-ish amount of home games) I thought I'd make use of my Trust membership today.
What an amazing day. Thanks to Frances, Murray, Dave and Suggy looking after us. Thanks to Keith Hill and the players for being accommodating before the game too.
The only black mark goes to whoever vandalised Hilly's tactics board. He was livid. |  |

Bloody stupid thing to do and a lack of respect towards the manager. It's understandable that he would be livid probably a hour before the game kicked off, he would have been pumped up anyway with it being Matchday.
When I first heard about it I though it was something and nothing, but the more you think about it can anybody blame Hilly for kicking off. I hope the culprit is man enough to contact the manager and apologise, a prank that backfired. |  | | |

Another grand day out and thanks to all who played their part in making the day a success. Frances looks to be working her socks off and glad she seems to have enjoyed her whirlwind first year. Good to see the chair and directors mingling and giving credence to the Team Rochdale ethos. Shame about the incident of course but the football was good again against pretty poor opposition. These 3-0 victories against Lancashire rivals are getting a bit predictable. We decided to stop over despite only living in Sheffield so the Mercure in Castleton gets our thumbs up as in the hotel blurb it says nearby attractions include Rochdale and Manchester City football clubs (yes in that order!). I'm trying to persuade my wife that we really need to stay until Tuesday evening..... |  | | |

Forgetting whatever alleged offence has taken place (and I cannot believe an exile would do such a daft thing), it's great that so many of our exiles have enjoyed a top day at Spotland.
The club should keep doing as much as it can to keep this wonderful group of people involved. They are just as important as those of us who leave home at 2pm! And their commitment is the equal of any Rochdalian resident. To keep the faith living God knows where is fantastic in my view.
EDIT: Changed special to wonderful as I didn't want people thinking I was Flicker! [Post edited 17 Apr 2016 22:33]

Completely agree. There were people there who haven't been to a Dale game since last season but were no less enthusiastic about the club. Add to that the way everyone was looked after, the match itself and the opportunity to chat with Hilly and the players, it was indeed a wonderful day.
As to the incident, there was genuine disbelief in the room that someone there could have done it. It was difficult to see how, too, as we were accompanied at all times on the tour and Hilly came out of his office to speak to us all, we didn't go in there.
It's just a shame, because whoever did do it, in our room or otherwise, put a downer on the day given the way Hilly reacted to it, saying he will no longer make himself available for tours etc.
I hope it doesn't put the Trust off doing the event again next year. | |

That's a shame, obviously somebody has done it and maybe that person should man up and apologise for his/ her daft actions. That's all it is daft, but it's disrespectful to the manager and you can understand his reaction.
Sometimes people do things as a bit of a laugh and it backfires, they haven't thought out what they have done,I've done that a few times over the years. It's a storm in a teacup and all it needs is an apology I reckon. | | | |

So potentially, it might not have been someone in the Exiles group then? | | | |

Personally, I'd be amazed if it was someone on the Exiles' Day, hence why I was sure to say: "On the Exiles' Day or otherwise" and "In our room or otherwise" in my posts.
I just can't see how anyone in our room would be inclined to, or had the chance to, do it.
Any road, whoever did do it has potentially ruined future days out at the club, given the way Hilly reacted. | |

No, he was busy having an argument with Jack the kit man, and telling him to pick on someone his own size.... |  | | |
