We don't do begging mate... More importantly get promoted and its an away day for me next year. In other news Harrogate Town finished second so are at home in a one game play off semi final on Sunday. if they win that they are at home in the final game and promoted to the national conference proper if they win...
Same here, travelling First Class with Virgin and a nice hotel booked. Should be a great weekend. I have already factored in the inevitable let down on the pitch
@DonCorleone and I will be filing our customary, comprehensive match reports from Rochdale tomorrow night It looks like those Charlton fans planning on making the last train back to London- the 8.35pm - are going to have a mad dash at full time.
Have you already got a ticket? I am presuming as I dont know is it standing for away support at Rochdale. If you are sat where are you. I can then decide whether to buy you a beer or fire the rifle!
I'll be watching this in the Alcatraz British pub in Calella if anyone is out here on holiday. I think the play offs look good - sadly for Plymouth they seem to be running on empty, but after our season I'll take the play offs however it comes. Looking beyond saturday, if we do qualify I'm by no means it sends us up. Scunthorpe and Shrewsbury both gave us footballing lessons at the Valley, and while we have returned the favor since then to the Shrews, Scunthorpe used it as a sprinboard to get their season back on track, and Rotherham are also no mugs. No clear favourites as far as I'm concerned, but given where we were at the start of march, simply being in the mix is way ahead of where most of us expected to be. COYA
@DonCorleone knows he is on a Final Warning tomorrow. 500 words minimum expected on the match before he hits the Manchester Red Light district.
We're too nice. We don't need moderating. The last aggro on ere was when Old Reamsy tried to sneak in under an alias.
Back on topic... Another factor that could help us is if Oldham take an early lead at Northampton. Should Oldham go a goal or even two goals up early in that game it should take the heart out of Rochdale's efforts. Will quieten their fans as well I should think. I know Northampton won't just roll over, but with luck the incentive for Oldham to ensure their own safety will see them snuff out Rochdale's hopes of staying in League One before we have to. Naturally the opposite is also true. If Northampton take the lead it will spur Rochdale on. Dale will have a dilemma on their hands though - should they park the bus for a 0-0 draw and hope Oldham lose (Rochdale would then stay up on goal difference) or will Rochdale push for a goal. Equally risky for them either way; If they attack us we may well make them pay on the break. If they play for 0-0 and Oldham get a last minute equaliser against Northampton then Rochdale will kick themselves for not trying to defeat us.
