Off Topic Our day out in Roachdale

I thought I'd start this thread for two of 606's most loyal and dedicated fans.

Donald and Mr van Gerwen please report back regularly to keep your friends informed about your day.

What is the journey up like?
A decent scoff for brekkie?
Any pre-match ales?
Atmosphere in ground any good?
How much was the curry tonight?
Did you meet any nice ladies?

 

Will do my best Elfs

@DonCorleone - we could be like the Bill Bryson’s of Rochdale

 

Car loaded - heading North in about ten minutes. M20, M25, M11, A14, A1, M62 - trying to avoid both Brum and Manchester.

Planning to be in pub No.1 by 2pm.

 

We have sold 1,300.

Not sure if you can pay on the gate up there today.

 

You can pay on the gate. Away side holds 3,000

 

The Don is the strong silent type.

 

With so much young potential Mod talent waiting in the wings on here, he is under pressure to deliver today.

Sadly @lardiman blackballed himself by ghostwriting for the Apologist site.

But the highly talented @baraettmattesvensson is waiting in the wings.

 

I hear you say young

 

Back on topic.

Mr van Gerwen, seeing as you are above travelling with the commoners in standard class, is it a buffet car or restaurant with the snob class?

 

Buffet - train is absolutely packed and I mean packed ...

 

Sainsburys outside Euston is your friend.

 

Wash your mouth out ...

 

Ram-packed? Surely space on the floor, or Jeremy Corbyn bagged it?

 

This is what you get in Virgin First Class for a £235 ticket. A ham sandwich and a cup of tea.

 

It could have done with some Branson pickle

 

You could have flown up for less than that

 

No sympathy. Obviously has no value of money.

Cannot even have a phone that can take a crisp picture.

 

Says the man who tips his wages down his throat every week

A nice tram ride coming up in a minute

Now in the Radcliffe Arms pub next to Spotland. Packed with Rochdale & Charlton fans chatting amicably - just as it should be
