2-1 defeat
No trains for us willl be driving up to Hudersfield in the morning (to the in laws) only 20 mins from there. Handy overnight pit stop for northern matches.If you're on the train from London there are no northern rail trains from Manchester up to Rochdale so I'd get the Metrolink tram

Is that just this Saturday FP? Our train tickets say northern trains from Victoria to Rochdale, is there works or something?
Strike action mate, it's been going on months. Might be alright on the way to Rochdale from Manchester but they've been cutting services / ending them early. Reduced timetable link below. You'll definitely need the tram to get back to Manchester after the game but your rail ticket will be accepted on Metrolink I would say.

Its £4.80 for an all day pass on the metro.... nearly an hour to Rochdale from Victoria though instead of 15 minutes on the train.Metrolink on Twitter have said they don't accept rail tickets so you'd have to buy a separate one. It's about a fiver back to Manchester.

Yes it has. Such is the reverence that sky blues fans are held in, it's broken the deadlock.May not be the same rail dispute, but heard on the news about half an hour that rail action (relating to guards) had been called off. Apologies if this is a different dispute!!

I have to say ... as we have one goal in us maximum, per game, right now ... a draw wouldn't be a bad result, despite the fact that we really need a win (stating the obvious) as it's not much longer before we start playing the hardball teams ... Luton away, crikey they will have a field day with us ... and no doubt we will get well and truly smacked then ... so crucial we get 3 points from one of the next 3 games and perhaps one draw too ... that gets us to 44 pre the Luton game ...
I agree with most of what you say here. However Luton were one of the few teams this season that I thought deserved to beat us. That said I still think we can give them a good game. We are possibly a stronger team with Meyler and Enobakhare than we were in the first game against them.This is very typical of football fans if you dont't mind my saying.
Football is a funny old game and thinking as a fan with a more objective view I would not be surprised if we played well at Luton and got a result there.
We are just a few tweaks from a good side and we already play well each game without a finish up front. That will change and particularly away from home with less pressure.
Look at Portsmouth, having a nightmare run when it looked nailed on league winners. There are no teams to fear in this league, Luton are proving that.
On paper we are one of the best sides in the league...it just needs to come to fruition, but to suggest we should fear hardball teams etc is a tad silly.
I'm looking for maximum points in the next 3 games!
Well I admire your optimism ... let's hope, out of the two of us, that you are the one that's proven right ...This is very typical of football fans if you dont't mind my saying.

Three of us, because I think we will win too.Well I admire your optimism ... let's hope, out of the two of us, that you are the one that's proven right ...

Make sure to have one of their pies. They are only £2.50 and are bloody lovely!
Win against Rochdale and possibly pick up a point at Luton too.
As long as they are both fit, I think a midfield duo of Meyler and Kelly looks potentially strong.
Rag Pudding (suet pastry), a South East Lancashire delicacy. I'd never heard of it before living around here but I love itAnyone going to be brave enough to try the “Rag Pie” they sell? Mince and Onions cooked in cheesecloth apparently.
Will be there on Saturday but having seen our best ever result at Spotland (when even then we lost in the league cup on penalties) a few years back, and our record this season against teams at the bottom of the league, I’ll take some convincing that we will get any out of this game.
'Rag pie'/'Cheese & onions in cheesecloth', will be the the match summary as well as the menu.Anyone going to be brave enough to try the “Rag Pie” they sell? Mince and Onions cooked in cheesecloth apparently.

Wow! You must really like the place to have frequented it so often.Play Up Sky Blues!!
I had wanted to go to this one even after last weeks last minute fuck up, but I have to go to a 40th night out in Derby!!!!
Not my choice!!Wow! You must really like the place to have frequented it so often.

Yes, it’s hard being a cowboy in Rochdale!'Rag pie'/'Cheese & onions in cheesecloth', will be the the match summary as well as the menu.
Whenever 'Rochdale' gets mentioned I immediately conjure up an image of Mike Harding and Cyril Smith (I tend not to dwell too much on either, certainly not the latter)
But the image that burns inextricably is 'Rochale'. We were knocked out of the FA cup by a club that couldn't be bothered to spell their name correctly when they sent ticket info to the printers. It may well have been a mistake entirely of the printers, either way it was like a grammatical version of the Cambridge Utd replay Dion Dublin penalty fiasco.
Even with an outbreak of bubonic plague tearing through the squad I'll go for 1-1.
