Same starting 11 as last sat with Flipper coming on the hour.

Alty 2-1 Rochdale (Con-Clarke, Linney)

[HashtagAlty]

In to these from the off. Lets get them dispatched. One of Parkinsons worse team showings laat time out.

Leaving aside you know what this is a game we need to win & I expect us too. A bizarrely high number of Rochdale fans online seem to think our awful 3-0 at theirs is representative of our wider level.

Gate will be interesting. I can see them bringing about 800-1000 & there being about 3500ish or so in. Floaters may decide late but the forecast is much better by Saturday.

Barring injuries, I would have thought same team as started on Saturday at Solihull.

Lads have good impetus and need to bring it into this game. Would expect a 3,000 plus crowd if weather improves on the day.

I'm hoping for an emphatic victory to make up for our dismal performance at their place.
I know there were problems with traffic etc so a reasonable excuse, but lets show them the reason why we are higher up the table.

Away on business…. How is the ground looking and what do any locals think about the chances of the game definitely being on tomorrow???

According to my app, 23mm of rain yesterday, 4mm till 8pm tonight and then nothing. It will take a miracle to get the game on tomorrow. Maybe if a midday inspection the volunteers and temp groundsman can pull it out the bag. odds must be against that.

Yep, depends on how heavy the showers end up being this afternoon, although predicted to be sunny and warmer from Saturday late morning so hopefully that'll see us through.

EDIT: forecast seems to be shifting all the time... heavier stuff now predicted for this afternoon, but sunnier for longer tomorrow morning - so hopefully balances things out.

Ironically, the weather conditions look really pleasant for the game itself - temperatures creeping up towards double figures and only a gentle breeze.

Now all ticket for away fans - no ticket sales if full or beyond 2pm.

I'm probably being a bit slow here, but don't we face the prospect of ticketless Dale fans coming in our end?

Agree with this.

I just looked through the gate at the pitch. remarkably little standing water. If the weather improves, game should be on I think.

Lot of sympathy with the club on this one. Rochdale simply don’t have the support to warrant the 1,600 Oldham/Stockport level allocation so it’s sensible to advise their fans with 24 hrs to go to get one online in advance if you want to make sure. They’ll probably get v close to selling 956 though so can’t say they weren’t warned. I’ve no doubt a few of them may get in our end so let’s hope stewards & GMP are proactive tomorrow.

On a related note I hope their fans aren’t as highly tedious in real life as they are proving on Twitter with constant moans about the pitch, thinking were engaged in a conspiracy theory to sell them as many tickets online in advance & thinking they are in some way a big club.

Pitch inspection 11-00am

Let’s hope for a dry night and day  in WA15.
