Assuming that no-one on here gives a toss about the result (except Dibble) what about the crowd?

According to the ever reliable ITMC, Pools' previous lowest attendance for a cup game was in the Football League trophy in 1982 - 655 against Bradford City in the Football League Trophy.

Surely that record will be smashed tomorrow night? Who's going to turn up to freeze their bits off for 90 minutes for a dead rubber in a discredited competition?

323 (300 £5 concessions)

There will be selfish fuckers there again sadly.

This. In spades.

Can you imagine going to a game like this and actually celebrating a goal?

You must be a few matches short of a full box if you do.

There is literally no point in this game whatsoever, we are already out of the joke of a competition and its going to be 2 reserve teams play eachother in the freezing cold. I had a quick look on the Rochdale forum and it seems they actually give a shit about the competition.

We get a shock win.
The club n Media decide that UNITED ARE BACK.






















Then normal service resumes v Cheltenham.




You know im right!

Mystic meg to tells me it was 1137 and a 1-1 final score. No need to thank me

I'd be happy as fuck if there's less than a hundred

Any more than that and I hope that they all get the collective shits when we have a proper good game so that they all miss it.

I checked late last week and 12 tickets had been sold for the Cyril Knowles.

Score prediction???

Are you Rochdale in disguise?

It's a competition where every team should be taking the piss, the farce of a penalty shoot out for 1 point? Both teams should purposely boot them near the corner flag for 20 minutes.

700 super fans to turn up. 1-0 Rochdale

Under 400, the cold will keep them away, rather go and watch the reserves in Leeds.

Surely they won't bring any more than a dozen fans though?

Anyone know what the record low away attendance at The Vic is?

AZ Alkmaar back in 2007?

CSKA Moscow in 1990.

CSKA Moscow late 80's/early 90's????

Come to think of it, could it be CSKA Moscow?

250 who's entire world is football, and think the Earth, is as flat as the pitch.

I'm a little on the large size but to suggest I am the whole of rochdale in one disguise, well I never been so insulted in my life... well I have, there was that one time when erm.... anyway no I don't do disguises, well I would if I was picked for an ID parade, but anyway, remember what mystic meg said

580 for me.

That was a friendly surely that doesn't count? it was a horrible night weather wise like. We had less for one of the games in that farcical centenary tournament I'm sure (500 odd rings a bell) as well.

For a first team supposed competitive fixture surely this will be the lowest. I think the current one is Colchester in the 80's which was 700 something??

Where is MadJohn when you need him

Colchester was 804.

CSKA Moscow was 671, but like I said in that embarrassing centenary tournament we got 880 against Sunderland on the Saturday then they didn't even officially announce the attendance the day after for the game against Huddersfield but I remember reading at the time it was around 500. They are all friendlies though so I reckon the Colchester game is the one to 'beat'.

Away fans wise, I reckon exeter etc. have had less than 5 here. Hard one to guess as the numbers weren't officially recorded seperately until recently.

Pretty sure when we played Torquay in the late 80s I counted three away fans in the Town End Corner.

308 at Boro tonight.

I remember that tournament. I was one of, I think, about 80 in the Town End on the second day.

308 at the Boro v Shrewsbury tonight surely that is the emptiest stadium in the history of football. I bet Champions League games played behind closed doors have more press at them than that

Just been proven....Wanky Shithouse!!!!
People like him don't deserve decent mates....I for one won't be speaking to him again....arsehole!!!!

Some people have principles....obviously others don't!!!!

9/10 of Pools fans with real feelings for the club and lower league football would not go tonight even if they were offered 20 quid never mind a cheap(er) ticket....but I suppose some people are not what they seem....I suppose some people are fucking arseholes!!!!

I now think we will "beat" that 308 by Boro.

267

I know of not ONE person attending!

I know ONE shithouse that is going!!!!

Who?

I can't get excited or irritated by people who go or don't go.
I wouldn't go personally, even if I lived next door but if someone else wants to go then that's up to them.
It seems to be a growing trend that, if someone does the opposite to some people then they've got to be called names.
What ever happened to freedom of choice???
We're all wearing poppies this week in memory and respect of the brave lads and lasses who gave their lives to give us that choice.
I have total abhorrence for this daft trophy and it's format and regulations but such abhorrence would never take me down the road of calling fellow Poolies.

Fair enough Derwent....but I have my opinion....free speech and all that....that's what our forefathers fought for as you say!!!!

Of course you have Mutters and I back your right to free speech as well as freedom of choice but the line has to be drawn somewhere.
Freedom of Choice or speech doesn't mean you can say or do exactly what you want.
I would never call you names for not going to Pools nor would I call you for going but that's just as I see it. It's not my right to do that in my opinion.

He isnt calling anyone for going to Pools. He is calling them for going to this particular game.

And thats because supporting this game is detrimental to pools, and there is a good chance that you are advocating the demise of the lower leagues.

That justifies complete critisism and disapproval.

That should be obvious to all.

AMAZING GESTURE.

I hope the football league fine them though.

Obviously to make the football league look like even bigger c unts.

But this isn't a proper first team game though, the FA said so remember

Brilliant brilliant gesture by Rochdale....I'm actually lost for words....amazing!!!!

My heart goes out to that little lad and I can't heap enough praise on Rochdale for their wonderful gesture. Well done.

Fantastic gesture!

826...

And amazing gesture from Rochdale.

That's a brilliant gesture in so many ways.
