After discussions with police, they allowed the official supporters' club coaches to go to Rochdale v Workington. We all supported Workington,who were well adrift at the bottom of the league and they won easily, perhaps 1-3 or 4 even. Their bemused players all came over to thank us.
It was the same day as Scotland v Wales rugby as we knocked on a few doors to ask if they'd let me and 2 mates in to watch! No chance!
