Mercer?

So Ward and Downing in central defense then. The rest of the team should be unchanged from the MK Dons game, no need to mess around after a 4-1 win.

The earliest Wharton will be back is Scunthorpe next Tuesday I was told today.

Yeah but you know and I know there's a big difference between being fit to play and being match fit.

@Tyrone Shoelacesis probably the best person to ask. Think he's a native.

I don't know much about car parking as I always walk to the ground, one of the advantages of being a " native ". Older Hill school which is very close to the ground has a huge car park, wether that gets used or not I don't know. There are quite a few pubs quite close by on Bury Rd, The Cemetery being the nearest to the ground. What their attitude to away fans is I don't know. The Weatherspoon's ( The Regal Moon  ) in the centre of town is good as is " The Baum " and " The Flying Horse "

That brings back memories. Once spent a New Years Eve (?) in there around 1992-ish. Lisa Stansfield was in there too. I went up to her and said 'I think you've found your baby'. She told me to do one. She probably regrets it now

I was under the impression that Rovers receive no money from away ticket sales.

It used to work with away teams buying the tickets from the home team, then selling them on to their fans. Its why they ware often low end with their ticket allocation as they didnt want to get left with un sold tickets and be out of pocket.

So you buying a ticket porbably gives them nothing. But not bying a ticket could potentially leave them out of pocket

 

 

Haha! Interesting...

Has anyone mentioned the rag puddings across the road from spotland yet? Worth the journey alone

Yep agree id blood Wharton with Ward for this (if Wharton is fit) - new guys on the bench. If not, guess it has to be Downing. Dont want to disrupt the back more than it already will be with Mulgrew out.

There's a chance he could be involved.

Why are you starting Harper?Have you ever seen him play?

Rochdale is my second club, mainly due to my nephew who played for them after leaving Rovers, parking is mainly street parking and normally it's not too bad , as for food and drink the Cemetry is the better option ...

It would be a grave mistake to eat or dink in there

She's in " The Baum " in the town centre most days. I remember walking in to the Weatherspoons once and she was sat with her husband eating dinner. No airs or graces there or great " I am's ". Her husband's a really nice guy.

There used to be a big one in the town centre. Does " International Cuisine " now. That means there's food from all over the World including Chinese. You serve yourself, eat as much as you want. It's off School Lane. If you need to know I'll find out the name.

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

The traditional pub for away fans " The Church Inn " was adjacent to the ground, it had a lovely top class bowling green. It was knocked down recently and there's houses on it now. The bowling green was supposedly protected by a covenant regarding sporting use but the builder got around that somehow.
