Absolutely awful first half, too many changes to the team for me. Very poor indeed, Oldham have had very little possession but have been a lot more threatening so far. It can only get better. 0 shots by us.
Coach fire around 13:30, which apparently was put out by 14:00, but the road also set on fire I believe due to diesel being spilled on it. They will be resurfacing it overnight. So we sat and waited, and waited. We finally got off at junction 29 at 20:00, just stopped at services on M1...
Half time? I wish. Still sat in the traffic on the M1 now. What a nightmare of a day. The other Dale fans will be home by now. We are still 0.7 miles from the Mansfield turn off. We’ve moved 1 mile in 5 and a half hours.
The frustrating thing for some will be the money spent in anticipation of the match on travel/hotels. Nobody has seen a live league game since last March. I for one was really looking forward to this one. As you have said, there really is no excuse for this work to have not already taken place...
