Rochdale (Aug 2013)

Ground :- Spotland

First game of the season, 8:55am train to York for a connection to Rochdale via Leeds.

Few beers at the York Tap we missed our first train to Leeds, by 5 mins or so, so another 60 mins in the Tap and a nice carry out for us for our 2 hour journey to deepest Greater Manchester.

Trains:-
Grand Central - Hartlepool to York
Cross Country - York to Leeds
Northern Rail - Leeds to Rochdale

Pubs:-
York Tap

On arrival to Rochdale, cab ride to Spotland by a friendly guy who didn't know a game was happening, I suppose in an area with 15 or so clubs in a 20 mile radius this is the case.

Ground was quite tidy, away crowd was a good 700 and a weather was nice for an season opener.

Game well, a 3-0 defeat and a non-event to be honest...

Not many pubs in the area so could not comment, a cab ride back to Rochdale Railway and a few cans from the local corner shop for the Journey back to Hartlepool via York & Leeds.
