Does anyone know if season ticket holders have to get actual tickets, as on the website it has a fee even if you allocate to a season ticket holder?

allocation fee? 

Entry would be just with your ST card I'd imagine. I doubt they'll fill the whole pf the JWL.

Just show your season ticket card at the turnstiles as you would for a normal first team match. The only area open is the Family Stand.

Thank you both. Was unsure if you would have to get a set seat in advance as you can select from the map on the website.

I saw Ethan Brierley got a goal and an assist on good Friday. Led me to look at Rochdales form and even though they are firmly rooted to the foot of the table, their results have seen a significant upturn since he came back into the side. Hopefully there is an agreement in place after the January debacle.

You can see his goal on YouTube- he scored from about 50 yards out although there must be some doubt as to whether the ball crossed the line for a goal.

1:50 in. There's absolutely no way that crossed the line. Funny enough there's a couple of other 'did the ball cross the line' moments on those highlights.

Rovers are at home to Forest tonight at Ewood in the semi-final of the PL Cup. It's free for season ticket holders too.

It's playing fair, you're allowed 5 "over age" players

Broughton said they'd 'done right' by Rochdale, so I assume money has changed hands.

1-0 up, Edun.

[Ossydave]

Lovely little 1-2 and finish that, Edun seems to do OK in his u21 outings

[Ossydave]

No we've scored off a corner, showing the first team up...

Are the players who have been picked, eligable ? It is a semi-final, we should play the  strongest team that we can. Play to win lads.

3 up now

[BankEnd Rover]

Leonard off already. Could he be starting on Sat?

We also have players needing to gain fitness for the first team. And Phillips, Garrett and Leonard might be 'first team' players now, but they're all under 21.

[bluebruce]

It's 3-1 at the moment btw. Goals for us from Edun, S. Wharton and O'Grady-Macken.

[Ossydave]

It's 4, Brittain bagged too 

[bluebruce]

5-1, Charlie Weston, 87th minute. 1 minute of normal time now remaining.

[rigger]

The winners of Fulham and Brentford in the final. They play on the 27th April

[Ossydave]

Where is the final played does anyone know?

[bluebruce]

Finished 6-1, another Weston goal. Super-sub.

LT:

Rovers will have to wait until the end of the month to find out who their opponents will be in the final, and where it will be played, with Brentford B hosting Fulham on April 27.
