Re: Rochdale Sponsored Walk
 

One and a half hours in the pub is no good to me - any more than one pint and I will miss half the match with having constant visits to the loo. I'm setting off at 9.00am. Which pub will you all be in? Is it in Norden?

Re: Rochdale Sponsored Walk
 

I forget the name of it but its the one just a couple of miles past the Nutters restaurant. you go down the dip and as you come out onto the straight it is on your left hand side. Theres a good butty shop across the road

Re: Rochdale Sponsored Walk
 

I drove the route the other night. It is exactly 13.6 miles to the pub and exactly 15 miles to Spottyland. The half way point is the motorway flyover in the dip at Edenfield.

The Brown Cow has been confirmed for arrivals from around 11:30 onwards and are expecting between 80-100 people. I have names for 68 people + however many of The Ultras are doing it. 2 buses have been booked with one more on standby just in case anybody has ignored my appeals to get their names down. The buses will be free to all walkers. There may be space left on a bus if anybody has made their own way there but needs a lift back. Price will be £5 and will go into the appeal fund on my sponsorship sheet (not counted towards any prizes though!)

I am still trying to sort out water for the walkers and its 50/50 whether I can get it or not - so if anybody knows any really nice superstore owners who are willing to sponsor us to the tune of around 300/400 small bottles of water we'll try to be nice regards advertising!!!

The walk will set off from the club shop at around 7am - depending how long it takes to get every name down.


thanks you all for your participation - whether it is walking or sponsoring somebody and lets just hope that the club are true to their word and we are not walking to our last ever Stanley match. In the rain.

You tried Asda Macca? . Sure they did it last year!

Re: Rochdale Sponsored Walk
 

yep, waiting on a phone call

Re: Rochdale Sponsored Walk
 

Macca

I'll sponsor everyone who makes it to the tune of £1 per person. Let me know the damage on Sunday.














Of course I trust your counting .... :D

Re: Rochdale Sponsored Walk
 

As we have to clock in I've changed my mind and will now be setting off with the rabble!:D
Rob, I don't suppose we will have the luxuryof a "baggage bus" to take a spare set of clothing to the finish?

Re: Rochdale Sponsored Walk
 

i have to confirm yet that we have the support car going but it will probably be able to carry spare clothers for people - especially considering the likelihood of bad weather at some point

If you still want to set off later it is fine as you had already told me, so you'll be logged anyway :D

Re: Rochdale Sponsored Walk
 

just had word from The Ultras. There's 200,000 doing it apparently!

cash or cheque Chimer? :eek:

cheers buddy, thats a fine gesture

Re: Rochdale Sponsored Walk
 

as i said before .. you can have a loo break here and if i get some paper cups you can have a water break i'll set a table up in my driveway ... that is if you want me to ... i know its not that far up the road .. but still its there if you want ..
