Carrying on further east about 7 miles is Rochdale. Again it didn't take me very long before I arrived at Spotland. The receptionist signed my shirt and her assistant took me to the 
pitchside for some photos. I asked to use their facilities and again I was from there in less than 10 minutes. I had called Viv and we had arranged that she would pick me up from Spotland and drop me off there again tomorrow morning. As I waited I thought that it was 10 years since I had been at Rochdale following Hereford. The game ended in a draw either 0-0 or 1-1 but my abiding memory of this game was the constant chant of Graham Turners Barmy Army which carried on non stop for the second half. Following that game we called in at Old Trafford arriving about 6pm as several of the players were going home. Mark, my son, got an autograph from a young David Beckham. Interesting going to Rochdale and Man Utd in the same day again! So 1225 miles cycled so far and I have visited at least 47 grounds. It could be argued that I have visited more as I have been to the old Highbury and the new MK Dons Stadium as well as grounds that are shared with Rugby League or, as today at Bury, 2 football clubs. Any of you paying by the clubs visited object?
