Accrington vs Rochdale

Bakewell Tart · 17-08-2008, 19:10

I have the best partner in the whole world.... We are lifelong Derby fans but I love Accrington. I asked him if we can go to a match and he didn't hesitate to say yes! SO we are coming up to the Accy vs Rochdale match. What are your predictions? And we're staying overnight on the Saturday before the game, so where can we visit? We are going to Preston in the morning to the Football Museum, but any other suggestions will be considered!

(sorry if I have posted this in the wrong forum, I did look around for a more appropriate place!)

...and she's going to the exhibition next Tuesday anyway! Worth having a look over at Peel Park - the site of the club's original home. Not much left now apart from the original dressing rooms, but it still has a certain ghostly atmosphere...

Your right there Wynonie Harris!! it has a ghostly atmosphere just looking around the playing field your mind starts imagining what it was like

Some of us can even remember when it was a full blown football ground and seeing league games played there - OK I was a young lad at the time but I still remember.

its something thats still in my mind n always will be, loved it, even the "White Elephant" that took em to the graveyard, n the "Jazz Club" just behind it. the exhibition brought back to me some wonderful childhood memories.
