Righty I'm off to this one as at a family gathering in Leeds for the weekend and need an excuse to sneak off.
I've been before 2005? We had an extremely slim chance of the playoffs, Hinton got sent off early on and the rest is history...
That was on the supporters coach, on the train this time. How far is it from the station? Where are we all drinking?

My favourite away trip. Done Dale 6 times and have seen all possible results! The Cemetery is a great choice of pub and you won't get many more knowledgeable or friendly opposition fans.
Great night out too in Rochdale. Sod the wedding, stay the night.

Where are we all drinking? It was actually April 2006. Seems incredible that it was 11 years ago. Who did Hinton bring down in the box to get sent off? Fat useless midfielder Lambert, he scored that penalty, but then, being useless, missed one in the 2nd half, whatever happened to him eh? In fact, here you go, everything seems to be on YouTube, |

Last and only time up there pre Lambo, 0-0.
Fairly unremarkable apart from one of the first away venues alcohol was purchased from inside ground, and near end Dale had a free kick outside box, their fans get all excited .....up steps Lambert to shoot just over!
After Tues pantomime, I'll take the same result again tomorrow.

I remember him being a co-commentator when i was too young to go to aways but an avid enough fan to sit glued to the radio for every away game. |

Oh my life, NS is legend.. !
Seriously though......anyone thinking of going to Rochdale, beware of long traffic delays.
M5 at brum, they advise you to go m42/m6 which is fine if you keep the wheels moving. Mine didn't. M5 junction 5 - m6 is 30mph restrictions in places.
Then you incur more misery on m6 roadworks around manc area.
If you can find more innovative ways to get there, please do.
Hope it's all worth it.
Safe journey all, UptheGas!

I think Jamie Shore was brilliant, a poor man's Gazza, one of those players that, for a while, it looked like we might one day build the team around. Then he got a bad injury and was forced to retire (thats how my marmalade memory remembers it anyway) |

Jamie Shore, like Frankie Bennett a few years later, and Paul Bodin more recently was a player who had promise but had his early career blighted by injury. He was given a chance by Rovers, but sadly the injury problems returned and forced him to end his playing career. Signings like these are worth a gamble, it didn't come off in the case of Jamie and Frankie, but it did for Paul. To misquote Meatloaf - 1 out of 3 ain't bad in these circumstances!
(Last I heard Jamie Shore was running a coaching school for young players).

Then he got a bad injury and was forced to retire (thats how my marmalade memory remembers it anyway) Jamie Shore is the best player I have seen in a Rovers shirt. But for his injuries there is no way he would have ever been here, and probably would have played for England. Class act. Shame He only managed a handful of games. |

No doubt Jamie Shore did have talent, but passed too often across the pitch as I recall, I think the club (or someone) gave him the best of chances to get back into the game even sending him to America for treatment and he had, I think, one of the first cartilage implants. After injury he remained loyal to the club, even following them away, once he was talking to Rovers' players in the car park up at Boston when an ill-tempered (normal) Bater called everyone to the coach to leave as quickly as possible.

The old man was a long-distance lorry driver back in the pre-motorway days. He'd be away for days on end when he drove up north. He had digs in Rochdale and always threatened to send me up there for a week every time I had a go at Bristol for being shabby and boring.

I remember him being a co-commentator when i was too young to go to aways but an avid enough fan to sit glued to the radio for every away game. JAMES ANDREW SHORE b 1.9.1977 Bristol 5’ 9”; 11 st M Début: 8.9.98 v Chesterfield Career: Whitchurch Sports; Milton Nomads; Norwich City (professional, 1995); 6.7.98 Bristol Rovers (trial); 21.7.98 Bristol Rovers (free) [18+6,2]; August 2002 Team Bath (coach); 6.12.03 Brislington Town (free); 1.4.04 Mangotsfield United (free); 14.1.11 Blackpool (Youth Development Officer); August 2012 SJK Football Academy, Finland (coach, to September 2012); April 2013 West Bromwich Albion (director, Development Centre, Bristol, to June 2014). Constructive midfielder Jamie Shore from Backwell appeared to have the footballing world before him. His career shaped at Norwich by Gordon Bennett, the former Chief Executive at Rovers, he had toured Denmark, Austria, Holland, Belgium and France with the Canaries and spent two years at the Football Association School of Excellence at Lilleshall; he won caps for the England Under-16 side. Playing with “guts, grit and determination” (Don Veale), Shore was on Rovers’ books with his brother, but progressed to make his League début as a 75th-minute substitute for Michael Meaker in a goalless draw with Chesterfield. A first goal soon followed, the only goal of the game against Bournemouth in October 1998 and he added two excellent first-half strikes in the FA Cup against Exeter City. Feisty and combative on the field, he was sent off at Millwall that November and the following month, 21 minutes from the end of a game in which the future Rovers manager Paul Buckle starred for Colchester United as Rovers crashed 3-0. Then, as quickly as it had begun, Jamie Shore’s career was ended by a serious knee injury, despite pioneering medical work from Dr Angus Strover in London, using cartilage from a dead body, and in December 2000 from John Barrett in Florida, Shore undergoing sixteen knee operations in all. Many argued that his absence from Rovers’ midfield deprived the side of promotion in 1999-2000. A testimonial game in July 2004 brought Ian Holloway’s Queen’s Park Rangers to The Mem and attracted a 6,000 crowd, whilst Shore completed coaching qualifications, set up the Jamie Shore Soccer International group, assisted Holloway at Blackpool and worked as a football summariser on BBC Radio Bristol. He now works as a director for ProBones, a company creating bespoke shin-pads and lives in Clifton with his partner Natalie and their dog Winston. |
