Thread | Exiles Day v Blackpool Saturday
at 18:21 12 Apr 2016
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! |

Thread | League 1 Average Home Crowd v Points Table
at 16:00 30 Dec 2015
Have been working on a league table that takes into account each League 1 clubs' average home attendance v the points gained.
I have used the Football Web Pages site for the stats so I hope it is accurate.
I took the average home attendance and compared it against the points gained so far computing how many spectators where needed per each point gained.
There will be a little variation as some clubs have played fewer/ more games than others.
I was genuinely shocked to see Rochdale in second place.
A testimony to how well Keith Hill has done with the available resources?
The stats below are:
League Position, Average Home Attendance Position, Team, Average Home Attendance, Points gained so far, Average Home Attendance v Points gained.
This is how the table has worked out:
Pos Att Team Av Home Points HvPts
2 22 Burton Albion 3692 48 76.9
13 24 Rochdale 3354 31 108.2
1 14 Walsall 5472 48 114.0
14 21 Scunthorpe United 3724 31 120.1
3 12 Gillingham 6179 47 131.5
12 19 Bury 4353 33 131.9
11 16 Port Vale 4867 33 147.5
21 23 Fleetwood Town 3412 23 148.3

Thread | Destination San Spotty
at 19:44 21 Oct 2015
After thinking about it for a long time I'm finally coming up for my first visit to Spotland for the Oldham game.
I've booked my ticket and got a hotel.
Just got a couple of more questions I could do with help on please.
When I was at the MIllwall game I got talking to a couple of blokes and they said that there was a particularly good fish & chip shop right near the ground on I believe Wilbutt's Lane? Have I got that right?
Secondly, where would be a good place to go for a drink, probably after the match?
As I'm driving up Saturday morning not sure I'll have time for a beer pre match but i'll see.
Thanks again chaps!

Thread | Where to Sit / Stand
at 19:24 14 Oct 2015
Looking to come up for a Rochdale home game sometime soon.
Was wondering where would be the best part of the ground to buy a ticket for?
Despite being a 40 something I do like it when the supporters get going and make a bit of noise.
Can you help please?
Thanks

Thread | Hotels B&B's in or around Rochdale
at 20:22 8 Oct 2015
Hello all,
I am tempted to get myself up to Spotland, from deepest Essex, for my first ever home game.
I see that there is a link to hotels on this site and have taken a quick look at some.
Are there any places, hotels, B&B's, guest houses etc. that you would recommend (or indeed steer clear off) in Rochdale or at a reasonable distance?
I'm hoping that a bit of local knowledge would help.
Thanks |

Thread | My First Rochdale Game!
at 14:58 14 Dec 2014
The 4-1 win at Colchester was my first ever Rochdale game.
I am primarily a West Ham supporter, but, what with the advent of the Premier League I have been priced out of watching the Hammers.
My favourite other league team? Rochdale of course.
Why is this?
Well, back in 1977 I started to support West Ham.
As the 1977-78 season finished in relegation for West Ham (an early indication as to what being a Hammers fan meant) I looked at the league tables and saw that Rochdale finished right at the bottom of the pile.
Since then I have had a soft spot for The Dale.
As a 40 something, on Saturday I finally decided to put one of my bucket list to bed and watch Rochdale play.
I only live about 20 miles from Colchester, a mere walk compared to those that travelled from Lancashire on Saturday.
I was really glad to see my first Dale goal, let alone a comfortable 4-1 win, and was genuinely rooting for the team.
I was also surprised to see the amount of Dale fans at Colchester.
I guessed at 200 or so and wasn’t far out.
Well done to you all that travelled such a long way.
I hope to make the pilgrimage to Spotland one day. Hopefully this season.
Maybe I can tempt the missus to a weekend shopping in Manchester while I go and see my first Dale home game. |
