I take it the big screen at Roots Hall isn't a thing this time?

It is! Two big screens in fact.

Great effort from the club.

It's my night for Slimming World. Bugger.

 

[Harry Bullocks]

I think the club wanted away support to be at a maximum prior to announcing "big screens", a winner for all parties surely

I watched us draw with Rochdale in 1981 to secure our first ever 'real' trophy - the 4th division championship. I will be 'working from home' on Thursday watching us beat the same team at the beginning of our quest to return to the fourth tier. Let's smash these two bob mugs.

I remember that game well, Tony Hadley's header from the edge of the penalty box into the North Bank net, to bring us back level and get that point.

That was only the 4th draw we'd had at home all season, and no home defeats either.
Think that was the last time we were undefeated at home throughout a season?.

That was the first year I started going to RH - I didn't see them lose for over a year. Came as a horrible shock to 9-year old TOTC.

I started going in 1967, and that 80-81 season is the only one since then that we went undefeated at home!.

 

[Supershrimper]

Well done the club, and with a Q&A from both Ryan Leonard and Michael Timlin before hand. Almost gutted I'm going to watch it in Rochdale now

If I remember correctly we lost at home in the FA cup to Hereford that season. We were top and hadn’t lost at home (which was to continue in the league) and Hereford were bottom and hadn’t won away!

 

[RHB]

God, I'm bored with waiting!

 

[Tommy2holes]

If we win this, am I right in thinking FGR would be next Wednesday.

Gateshead Bank Holiday Monday (1700+)
Rochdale Thursday (1200+)
FGR Wednesday. (allocation)

3 away slogs and testiment to our support with the numbers we take.

If we do get to Wembley or promotion, then we will have deserved to do so

Haha tbh ive got a really bad feeling about it and am dreading it !

Yes, Rochdale are a good side and unfortunately were in fine form before resting 7 players against Braintree. They must be favourites so we should prepare ourselves for disappointment - the default position for Shrimpers fans. However, we are hard to score against and I don't think that Rochdale are going to find it easy.

I know league results are not included for this game, but this season we have played Rochdale twice and won 1 and drawn 1.

Rochdale first team might get caught cold, as they haven’t played any competitive games for over two weeks.
