Reply | Non League Football - Who Do You Support?

I actually went to that game.
Colchester are less than twenty miles from where I live.
Oxford deserved it and their small band of supporters made more noise than the home fans (crammed into one open stand).
I follow my local non-league side Witham Town as I have given up on the Premiership (lapsed Hammers Fan).
The cost has put me off. |

Reply | I'm finding that I am being strangely sucked in by the charm of Rochdale
at 20:16 15 Jun 2017
Your going through what I did a couple of seasons back.
I first got into football in the 77-78 season with West Ham being my team.
They got relegated that campaign.
However, I looked at the football league tables at the end of the season and saw Rochdale finish at the bottom of the pile.
I've had more than a soft spot for them ever since.
Two years ago I made my first trip to Spotland as well as taking in Dale away games down South.
I'm Essex based. |

I'll be there.
Live less than 20 miles away from Colchester.
Hope to meet a few Dale fans on the day.
Nothing riding on the game but hope Dale put in a shift at least for those travelling from Lancashire. |

Any one tried buying the new kits online?
Have just tried and I keep getting 'out of stock'. |

Reply | Exiles Day v Blackpool Saturday
at 19:03 12 Apr 2016
I will be at the ground around 12 noon to 12:30.
An email from the trust said to be at the ground for noon but my room, at Fernhill, might not be ready until then, so I might be a little bit late.
As long as I get the lunch and the game in I'll be happy!

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
6 13 Peterborough United 5669 37 153.2
7 10 Southend United 6475 37 175.0
15 11 Doncaster Rovers 6275 31 202.4
17 15 Shrewsbury Town 5303 26 204.0
24 20 Colchester United 4101 20 205.1
5 6 Wigan Athletic 8394 40 209.9
22 18 Oldham Athletic 4394 20 219.7
23 17 Crewe Alexandra 4457 20 222.9
16 7 Swindon Town 7578 28 270.6

Understood TS.
Having kept an eye on Rochdale for many years I fully understand.
Realistically, I'll only make a couple of home games a season, tying in with the Exiles Day, and the nearer away ones to home.
The likes of Colchester, Southend, Peterborough, Swindon.

I have no real ties to Rochdale, it just that when I first got into football, 77-8, Rochdale finished bottom of the league pile and I have had a soft spot for them ever since.
Having thought about coming up to Spotland for many seasons, this time round I just decided to get off my arse and do it! [Post edited 3 Nov 2015 8:50]

Just signed up as an Exile and it was confirmed that admission to the game (Blackpool) is included.
Good value and I will be going. |

To be honest, when we were 2-0 down at halftime I was wondering if that green and black kit had cursed Dale.
They had not scored a goal since it was introduced (v Bury?) |

A couple of posts before I get locked out:
Rochdale changed their plans radically at half-time and we were under the cosh, as we had been in the first fifteen minutes of the match. Unlucky to concede from a corner that should not have been given and a free kick that was highly debateable. But lucky not to concede a penalty for shirt pulling as well. Probably a fair result at the end of the day, but always disappointing to lose a 2-0 lead.
Thoroughly disappointing draw, but what a game. Really enjoyed it to be honest. They just simply outplayed us in the second half cant argue with that. Was like a cup game second half and Brown should have reacted to it sooner. Never a free kick from my view, thought he got the ball all day long. |

Was in the Blue Boar in Southend before the game and met some people that I got to know in the Cemetery last week.
Wish I had got the train down instead of driving but still had a good afternoon out.
Great comeback and could have nicked it at the end. |

As I live less than an hour from Southend I'll be going for sure.
Thanks for the tip on the Blue Boar.
Forgot to ask:
How busy does Prittlewell station get after a game?
Not sure if I'll drive or get the train yet. [Post edited 28 Oct 2015 15:40]
