Rochdale vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[Sheebo]

Just got to Rochdale. Seems marginally less rough than Oldham though we just had bloke in a Man City shirt leap out of his car to say "don't go up there, there's loads of Pakis up there"; nice!

LMFAO - quality. I'm sure his intentions were good!

I'm seriously hungover and can't handle too much stress or agitation. Would much appreciate a relaxing, easy win for the Albion, 0-3 please.

Just jumped on the Gus Bus here in Port Canaveral for an expected bumpy ride this afternoon.
Keep the updates coming, some of us are at work & rely on this to follow the game. No commentary here & I won't be asking for a friggin link to a live stream either!

Player now on loud and clear.

Apparently no sign of Barnes or El Abd in the travelling squad.

Would take a point today.

Afternoon, tricky game this today, would happily take a point. Although you can't help but feel 3 points would all but take us up...
