FA Cup 3rd Round Draw (Home to Rochdale)

[mightywhite]

Its a nice idea, but just rang up....no answer! i think maybe they want to get an idea of numbers before setting the criteria? just a thought.

Not a game for the plastics but sure to be a sell out none the less

the safety authorities in carlisle will do their best to keep the gate down.

Is the ground capacity still 4500?.

not sure,but if it is you can bet those carlisle gits will place the figure well below that.

Looked on the Rochdale forums and there are some nice comments on the draw,while the venom seems to be coming from the Carlisel forums.

Have rung up the club and they are now adding names to some sort of waiting list for the match. Not sure what the list is, where it will put us in relation to season ticket holders etc, but nonetheless there is a list so get yourselves on it!!

Surprisingly rang up straight through and applied AND they remembered me ringing up for a ticket for Bristol. The benefits of living in East Anglia!

It won't be a sell out. ALL REGULAR fans will get in, no worries. Rochdale will bring about 300-400 no more + 1,500 Bluebirds + floaters + neutrals
= around 2,300 attendance IMO.

We have a chance to make history! First time ever in the 4th round!

If your gonna have a criteria it should be season ticket holders,trust members then open sale.

I'm a trust member but don't get why you think members should get priority on tickets?

Anyway it's irrelevant as everyone who wants to go will get in.

You dont get why,then i will explain.Its my belief that supporters who are prepared to take the time and pay there membership to a trust that is set up to support and in years to come maybe take over the ownership of the club once Mr Casson steps aside,should be recognised as people who care about the football club.Therefore i believe they should have priority on purchasing tickets in games were there is a possibility it could be a sell out. Its my belief that these people care more about the football club than the supporter who turns up once every five years when we draw a prestigious tie. Obviously you dont agree,thats your prerogative.I agree this game will allow everyone who wants to get in will get in,but you just never know what the future holds.

2,300. I tend to be the eternal pessimist but still think there will be more than that.

Having said that, its worth taking a look at the Carlisel United forum-they are having a good and interesting debate on analysing our attendances and coming up with reasons as to why we seem to be struggling to get decent gates.

A good sensible post, Jo am back! Which diversifies somewhat from your usual 'Giving It Large in The Barrow Arms' posts. Well done!

With regard to our future fixture with The Dale - are you aware of a documentary that was featured on TV a couple of years ago which focused on hooligan elements in the lower leagues? It featured Rochdale.
If you can dig it out, I think you'll find it interesting and amusing. Well...it made me laugh, anyway!
