Is anyone planning to go?
It seems like a great idea to use the ground between the end of the season and the start of the annual pitch renovation. It would be a shame if it wasn't well supported but I haven'tseen or heard much about it anywhere except on the Clubs website.
Wasn't there a pop concert at the ground once back in the '70s?.... Liquid Gold ??

Why? Seems a ridiculous thing for any political candidate to be against. |  |

Noise or parking?
No doubt they were getting complaints at 3AM when the police exploded a "device" on Dane Street this morning?
Parking-wise, they could perhaps use the car park on Bridgefold Road near Rochdale Sports Club, the Lacrosse Club will be using it this weekend for the Northern Flags Finals and expecting 1000+ spectators over the weekend. There are various finals over Saturday and Sunday. I think its why the Dale have been training at the Stadium recently. | | | |

Noise. Alcohol and Traffic.
I suspect they will have to finish by 10 ish anyway, which as a one off on a Saturday night is not too much of an imposition really. | | | |

I heard that the only stand that will be open will be the Pearl St and the stage will be facing it. Not sure what that means for a maximum capacity - maybe 2500? |  | | |

This shows the layout of the seating/stage - its the Pearl Street stand with a standing area on the pitch in front of the Pearl Street and in front of the stage. [Post edited 21 Apr 2022 22:10]

Think there is standing on the pitch as well so may be more | |

The indoor function room used to get a few known bands there. In March 1976 Motorhead played there - bet that was loud !! |  | | |

I've seen this doing the rounds on social media...
Aside from the plentiful grammar and formatting errors, its a shame these Labour councillors have chosen to fight against an event that will raise money for the football club (& for the local economy, leisure and night-time specifically have taken a battering since 2020) instead of supporting it.
Where have they been whilst we have been fighting for a year to keep professional football in the town?
Is it just this event the councillors have an issue with? Or will they be fighting against the 'Feel Good Festival' as its been moved closer to the Seven Sisters? Or street parties for the upcoming jubilee?
Its a shame if they are just seeing this as a quick vote winner - especially as (at a guess) there will be less than 50/60 households who have concerns. If word spreads amongst Dale fans this could do their campaign more harm than good. |  | | |

Who knew that if you buy/rent a house near a football ground there might be occasions when it gets busy, noisy and there's increased traffic?
On the plus side, the electioneers are doing a great job of advertising this event for free. Top stuff. |  |

They're under pressure to win votes.
The stadium hosts evening events where loud music is played, where the attendees engage in loud singing and cheering, anywhere between 1,500 and 5 or 6,000 attending, cars are used to get to the stadium, the bars are serving alcohol. The hosting of football and rugby matches at the stadium increases the possibility of public order offences, but this is a Queen tribute act, not renowned for an increase in street dealing or drive-by shootings.
I wouldn't vote for these wastrels but my mate Brian may. |  |

3 of the 5 out of six councillors who couldnt be arsed to answer my email about supporting a bid for an all-weather pitch at the Lacrosse Club. Its almost as if being a councillor is a lifestyle choice for all but the fortnight before an election when they seem to suddenly emerge from whatever stone they hide under.
This is just virtue signalling. And they wonder why the numbers who bother to vote at all are falling. | | | |

I hope it goes ahead I have sold the idea to family and friends and have bought 18 tickets!
The minute we try and do something positive, generate our own income, help the local ecomony (Cricket club, Reform Club, Cem, Chippy, Woodfired Pizza, Chinese, Off Licences, and and and) the over zealous Labour Coucillors try to spoil it.
If It doesnt go ahead it'll be a shame. |  | | |

You have thought that with all of the various social and economic issues in Rochdale and their priority, local councilors or prospective local councilors would actively trying to support a local business that generates employment and supports local supply chains.
The last financial accounts showed that the club employs 122 people; exclude players you would think a lot of the remaining number are engaged in hospitality related work supporting the club.
It's a bit thick to think that those 122 people and their families might now not vote for you as you are actively persecuting their livelihoods.
Very short sighted IMO. [Post edited 22 Apr 2022 15:07]

"At a time when most respectable people are going to bed"
Is the lawbreaking Rana trying to suggest that people attending the event are not respectable? And plenty of people on a Saturday go to bed later than that. What absolute pillocks.
Edit meant to reply to the post that had the defamatory leaflet. Maybe someone can complain about that. [Post edited 22 Apr 2022 16:04]

Before Rana etc jumped on the bandwagon, this was circulated, anonymously, to houses near the ground. Someone seems almost hysterical about it!

Now who would possibly want an event that will financially benefit Rochdale AFC to not go ahead? | |
