Yeah true enough, just playing devils advocate! Just the edge of the fixture would be diminished for us so it might open up more places the game can go ahead (i.e. Accrington if its to be believed theyve been told no by police).

I'm wondering if they are now hedging their bets and waiting until the outcome of Saturdays games? A loss for us and a win for either Aldershot or Halifax (potentially both) finishes our season, i think without checking the table, so would imagine that would dampen any potential big/rowdy following we might take.

If it goes to pay on the day ill go.

I think this was the issue a few years ago (I think under Corney). Wasnt there a game with free admission but you had to get a ticket in advance? Im certain there was a sellout but then on the night only 10k-11k turned up as a lot over ordered tickets. As a result there was hundreds outside (who turned up not realising you had to have a ticket) not able to get in. That may well be incorrect but no doubt someone here will be happy to correct me. Appreciate the circumstances are slightly different here. Something different from the club, a little damned if they do and damned if they dont, hopefully all get in who want to and as a result support a very worthy cause.

Might be worth using a family members/friends/neighbours details who never goes football and has likely never been Latics? Should be easy to navigate if thats the extent of the checks.

Unless they go down the route of severly limiting the tickets Rochdale sell, i cant see why they wouldnt try to reach some agreement whereby we get given some more. Either the rest of the stand with segregation more in the home ends or give us some of the home end too. I appreciate Rochdale are under no obligation to do so but it would be burying their head in the sand to think there wont be a significant number of Latics fans buy tickets for the home ends. Cue trouble like a few years back when Daniel Johnson grabbed 2 and we won 3-1. Again its not Rochdales fault there will be idiots following Latics who are looking for trouble but seems the common sense approach all round. Its that or do as i 1st suggested and Rochdale limit their ticket sales.

Anyone stream NLTV through their phone? Ive purchased a pass and going to the match player and its not responding. Im accessing it through my phones web browser.

Shots fired, civil war is coming! Is the club obligated to use that stand for the coming season? Whats the legalities around the FLG selling season tickets in there outside of the clubs say so?

Any update on season tickets? Even if theres nothing to extend the deadline, theres been nothing on the website to say its the final day?

I genuinely can't work this guy out (AL). I fully believe everything (okay most things, theres always bound to be one or two little things that arent true about whats said about someone) said about this guy. He then goes and does this. A PR exercise? A genuine attempt to open the door to fans? How does he gain from this? All it does is give a fan a chance to see up close the day to day running and provide further evidence of how bad things are. I imagine most arent arsed about this and would just prefer to see AL run the club properly. If AL can judge the feeling of the mood against him right now by offering this, why cant he also see that we are angry because of how he has run things until now. A lot of our gripes are not actually money related (treatment of staff, interference in team matters) and surely he must be aware of them now so why bother with the charade as so far hes not changed for anyone. In most other circumstances this would be a great bit of news however raises more questions than answers. I very cautiously welcome it though im not holding my breath.

Walk out at some point through the game?

Bring back the 90's badge or commission a new one. Never really warmed to this one.

At the very least i'd like to think Wild has earned himself a shot further down the line. Allow him a couple more years as youth team manager then give him the job when the oppourtunity arises!

To the tune of Sweet Caroline: "Sweeeeeet Callum Lang, du du duuuuuu" Could probably do with some more added to it but its a start!

Loved his reaction to the first goal going in (didnt clock him for the rest). Jumped around all over the technical area, fists pumping. Pretty much as you'd expect to see any of us do. I know some managers celebrate like this time to time but knowing he's one of us, it was nice and refreshing to see!

I was thinking this the other day. Maybe waiting to see if we win Monday night and if we do we can better take the financial hit? That being said im guessing there is a deadline/minimum amount of time we have to postpone a game so it may already have passed.

Apologies if its already been mentioned, is the game on i follow tonight for UK users? I only ask as although its a midweek game it was originally meant for the Saturday. So im not sure if there is a weird ruling preventing its broadcast as it should of been then, when the restriction is, and not tonight.

I use Windscribe myself. Been okay so far.

I was thinking the other day I'd not seen him post for a bit and hoped it was due to pre-season than, unfortunately, what it has turned out to be. Echo other sentiments, didnt know him personally but sad to lose another ome of 'us' as well as sad time for his family and friends. Rest in peace mate.

I never said it was...

Im not mithered by this. Its not a wow signing but not really causing me too great a concern. For all the cynicism over AL forcing players upon a manager he seems okay with them not playing if the manager feels they arent up to it. Didnt we sign a fair amount of French/foreign lads last season of which only a few played and one or two of which actually did okay? Nepo being one. Its definitely a cause for concern if this is the only calibre of player we sign i.e. unproven at our current level, but lets wait and see.

As unknown a quantity that bid might be, i actually quite like the idea of it being held there. Somewhere genuinely different and not a global political power (to my knowledge). Be somewhere it seems genuinely wants to host for the football alone rather than any ego stroking of that country's political establishment. Bring it on.

That was shit. We badly needed to set the tone tonight, come out and get in their faces from the get go. They would of come here expecting a battle and probably non too fussed about having one themselves being safe. I genuinely think they would of tailed off if we had and, although not guaranteeing us anything, certainly make life easier for ourselves. But no, we start as we more often than not do, end up conceding early and give them, already playing with freedom, even more to do so. We then had to chase it and hope to score before they did. Once they did it was game over at 2-0. I just cant for the life of me see how RW is going to get this lot to play anywhere good enough to win, which is what we definitely need now, on Saturday. Thats either morale wise or even to trust RW to get us playing how we should. I genuinely fear for us, I really do, and not just this season either.

Im still probably emotional about the game but.... That was fucking shit. 2nd half we offered little to put the game to bed. As shit as the ref was we just werent good enough. Play like that Tuesday night and Rochdale will hammer us. Really hope im wrong and I'm over-reacting.

Cant help feel Fane is lucky to have kept his place but im all for the changes made!
