The NL teams are playing the PL2 teams at home, so each NL team has four games, all at home, and each PL2 team has four games, all away.
We aren’t playing the other NL teams.
I think! [Post edited 19 Sep 19:09]

I wouldn't believe any "football people" when they say they don't look at the league table. It's just a deflection tactic that shouldn't be taken too literally. |

I don't understand the relevance of the kids being back at school. It's not like the holidays mean thousands of them aren't coming to games.
Also, the kids are at school for the majority of the season and our attendances remain fairly constant, give or take the odd game. |

I don't think we'll be able to show regulation 3pm kick-offs in Dale Bar like the Aldershot and Hartlepool matches, although 'Dale Bars' will know the full details. |

The problem with Hartlepool was that both of their kits clashed with ours, so it didn't matter what they turned up with. They should really have had a third kit. |

How are you going to get back? The last one is before Dale kick-off! |

Yes, the 587, I've been on it many times and it doesn't go anywhere near the motorway! [Post edited 10 Sep 13:02]

Reply | Aldershot away - *Help please*

It was surprising that away fans had to enter at the opposite end of the ground to normal as there hadn't been any prior information at our end about this.
Consequently, a lot of us, including Dave's minibus, had parked up near the park entrance at the top of Redan Road, which wasn't very convenient for the turnstiles.
It was surprising once through the turnstiles that there wasn't any segregation in place. It wasn't necessary, as the Dale and Aldershot fans mingled by the entrance quite happily, but it may have been problematic with more volatile visitors.
Nobody seemed to be directing away fans to where we were supposed to be. I asked a steward why we weren't at the end of the ground we normally are and he just shrugged his shoulders and said, "You are!"
Fortunately, having been to The Rec before, I knew how to get to the away terrace, but there was little in the way of help for those who hadn't beenpreviously.
The away terrace looks like it should be condemned, to be honest. I'm not sure how it's safe. Indeed, one Dale fan almost slipped on the wet steps due to their unsafe nature, although he was cascading down to celebrate with TAR at the time!
The covered terrace behind the goal wasn't open to away fans, but I think this is a much safer area from previous visits. I do believe some of your fans have been launching missiles at away fans in there so far this season, so maybe it was out of bounds for that reason.
Fortunately, common sense prevailed at the end when a senior steward went round the away terrace to tell Dale fans they could exit through the park if their vehicle was at that end of the ground. It's not the most secure route out, but I imagine it would have been more dangerous coming down the steps than going up them.
So, in short, more guidance needed for away fans if the turnstiles at the opposite end are going to be used and there could be safety issues on that open terrace, especially with an away following exceeding 169!
The stewards were all very friendly and understanding, though, so compliments to them and Aldershot on that. |

A different Mark Howson used to play cricket for Walsden, which is on the way to Morley, if you like out of the way journeys. |

Good idea, but she's currently on tour in San Francisco and Dallas with Barcelona Ladies and will probably be playing most weeks! [Post edited 31 Aug 12:27]
