I have been impressed with J.P performances in both the Rhly and Grimsby game. His first season was not the best but nor was Gary Mcdonald, lets not forget Mark Allot won his critics over in the end.
Maybe the importance of being a team player has finally got through to JP.
Yeah you can take drinks to your seats if your going for a few pre match beers i suggest the Mitre Bar round the corner pretty decent normally quiet also.
Villareal have took a gamble on a young US striker from what i have seen he looks good and unlike Adu there is not alot of Hype. Plus Villareal have a reputation for taking players who careers have stalled and turning them into match winners.
No not at all however if ticket salas early on go well and we snap up a fair amount early on GMP and Rochdale officials may get worried and can quickly change it to all ticket.
They can request you bring a valid passport or utility bill when buying a ticket and check your postcode. Dale fans with Oldham codes would proberly already be on there database.
Should be a good game however word of warning a group Rhly fans kicked off with the Irish side who they played in the Intertoto cup hopefully the hoolies will keep away.
The owners are the ones who bought Chadderton FC and when the going got tough put them up for sale using Vanderlism as an excuse.
Personally i suspect when it became there was no chance of turning Andrew street into a new set of apartmens they needed an excuse.
Despite being our sponsors football clubs and housing companies is not say the best relationship as i suspect most are in it for the land.
The same reason i am very cautious about that Hill guy on the board who if am right in thinking works for Ryder and Dutton.
Personally i would like to see a A minutes Silence (lay a tribute in the pitch with the name Ernie) followed by a mintues clapping allows people to bow there heads and grieve then follow it up with the LOUDEST APPLAUSE EVER AT BP FOR THE great person Ernie was.
I would also prefere in all honestly to do it at the Rochdale games both teams United in grief but sticking together to appreciate how much he meant to both clubs.
Sorry Andy there both the same i did a bit of work at the Carnival the previous 2 years and trust me its about PC or the group i was working for would of been shown the door for poor organization and other stuff ages ago.
Just look on the website and all this welcome to friends from all different nations to see its just a PC event.
