It would appear that Stockport have significantly reduced our ticket allocation from 1400 to 600. |  |

No actual number of seats available to Dale published on the updated OS ticket section now
Looks to me like both clubs (Dale & Hartlepool) have accepted what they've been "told" by Stockport and the EFL, whose interest in ensuring compliance with their own rules is notoriously half-arsed, as we very well know
Edit: Each of those two blocks might just have 540 seats, which combined (and if you include the sectioned-off seats as part of the away 'allocation') gives 1080, or 10% give or take a decimal point
It's a moot point whether the sectioned off part should be a loss of away seating or home seating. For instance, the home club could section off 90% of the away 'allocation' on that basis! [Post edited 12 Apr 2023 12:32]

'10% of the Club’s certified capacity'
That seems clear enough. Any segregation area must be taken from the home allocation - if the certified capacity is 10,800 then we get 1080 tickets. Their recent Salford home game had 10,300 there - don't know how many Salford took but they weren't behind the goal either - they were seated where we are going to be. |  |

Dale's away allocation in the Willbutts stand always has the away seats taken as part of segregation (when necessary) otherwise it'd mean closing part of one of the other three stands. That never stops us from being able to provide a minimum 10% of capacity for available seats
Where a stand is split between home & away fans, the EFL should ensure* the 10% requirement is met, according to their own specification
* as if!

I suppose we are fortunate that our away capacity is so big at Spotland it is covered by the 2000 rule. Although I do think it is daft that we can't sell out the whole stand (3650) when there are fences at either end and it isn't joined to any of the other stands. We've sold out 3200 to Bradford when it should be 450 more. | |

I couldn't agree more
450 x 20 = £9000, which would be way more than enough to provide for a few extra stewards positioned at either end (or more likely, at the ends of the Sandy & Pearl St)
I think the stand was sold out at near-ish full capacity in the cup ties against Spurs and Newcastle, and it's just a nonsense that we build to vacate a chunk of space | |

Just going back to their fans being arseholes for a moment. Had some fun with a few on Twitter last night and one used the following two phrases -
“I’d rather enjoy the ride than worry about the what ifs”
“There’s bugger all we can do about it anyway”
Anyone else heard that somewhere before? |  |

Just read their yellow board forum. They are still harking back to a day in the early 1980's when there was some trouble in Rochdale town centre. Bit unhealthy holding a grudge for 40 years. Plastic club full of nasty bitter idiots |  | | |
