Rochdale dilemma

[OldBlueLady]

Had planned a weekend away for the last away match of the season, ending in a meal at Roots York, after the match on Saturday. We were going to drive up on Friday and stay somewhere around the Stoke area before heading on to the match and then drive across to York after the match, where our hotel and restaurant reservations have already been made for Saturday, and pretty much paid for. We're meeting up with old friends of hubby's at the restaurant that he's not seen for ages - but he doesn't know that yet!

I haven't yet booked a hotel for Friday night.

After yesterday's shambles, and the recent results and performances, I am really wondering if I should bother with all that cross country driving and just book another night in York!

Thoughts, please, fellow Zoners!

What if we need a point to stay up ?

We have a night out planned in Leeds after the game, so we could well be drowning our sorrows, or maybe celebrating!!

Ha bloody ha!

That's the dilemma, I can't leave it till a few nights before to book a hotel if we go to York but could, conceivably book something last minute.com somewhere for Rochdale - I do have some standards and won't stay in any old run down place!

Go to the match. Although it's the last thing I hope happens there is a certain cachet in being able to say "I was there the day we were relegated." It's somewhat masochistic I know but memories are also made of sad times as well as good. If we are relegated hopefully we'll have a happy day at the end of the following season as we're present at the game where we are promoted back to L1.

You could always go to another match. I'll see what's around.

Leeds v Aston Villa could be a big game
Sunderland v Portsmouth
Sheffield United v Ipswich
York City v Telford

Ooh now, Sheffield might be interesting if it relegates Ipswich, but I think they'll be gone before then!

I think I'll leave making a decision until after next weekend - definitely seems as if away performances are, generally, better.

Just go for the day instead. Room on our coach and there is free crisps and snacks :-)

Rochdale away always seems to be a significant fixture for new managers.

It was the first fixture after PB was sacked and PB's first away fixture after PS was sacked.

York is a lovely city, spend the extra time there. If cp is still in charge forget the game, don't spoil a good weekend.

Come on OBL. Blue 'til I die! If they were in with a chance of winning the title you would be there to share it with them. The club needs stalwart supporters now more than ever. Go regardless of the result/relevance/importance. Just don't let what happens on the pitch spoil your great weekend. UTB

National Railway Museum in York

It’s free and much less stressful

If your going to the place RHB posted the link to could you ask how they got Matt Lockwood to join their team?
