My Northampton friend saw me and shouted me over once got into the back of the pub we discussed how long my nightmare trip were and the game itself, I told her last time i came Sixfields i only managed to make in the game for Half Time and That Ex-Rochdale Player Clive Platt scored on us, she were very good company and passionate about the beautiful game. I got myself a Guinness which were almost 3 pound but it were done right.

I made my way to Sixfields from the Hungry Horse Pub i though the Match had already begun but it hadn’t, The Match Kicked Off there were some good efforts by Rochdale right up till 15th Minute of the Match when Henderson got a Red Card no one could dispute that it wasn’t one either but Northampton Town kept getting away with far worse it were like the Referee were blind to Claret and Blue Players just before Half Time Ryan Cresswell got a Yellow Card & Stephen Dawson had hit the Bar Whistle had went for Half Time.

At Half Time i got a Chicken Balti Pie and a Coffee which came to a whooping £5.30 and that were their Meal Deal 3 aswell The Quality of the pie were very poor but the Coffee were okay as you can’t go wrong with Coffee.

Second Half got underway it were still goalless but Northampton Town’s attacks were all very poor no real danger then in 58th Minute Joe Rafferty came on for Bastien Hery, Northampton Town were still attacking but very poor attempts at goal then in the 62nd Minute Joe Bunney replaced Michael Rose in 68th Minute Matty Lund were Yellow Carded it were like Northampton Town’s players got away with Murder they still managed to keep on attacking Joe Bunney were having a nightmare of a Match then Calvin Andrew came on during 86th Minute it changed the game Rochdale were just a few inches of scoring by hitting the right post there were Minutes Extra Time it made no difference and ended goalless and went into a Replay at Spotland Stadium.

After the Match i chilled with my Northampton friend for bit, She still thinks we’ll beat them, then at 6.23PM i got the Bus from Sixfields Stadium to Northampton Train Station the single fare were just £1.95, I got to the Train Station then got the 6.55PM train to Rugby which arrived at Rugby for 7.17PM then i got the 7.42 Train train from Rugby to Stoke which arrived back into Stoke for 9.06 as the Midlands train were waiting for a platform then i were stuck in Stoke till 10.11 were i ended up on a train full of Manchester City Fans singing it didn’t get back into Manchester Piccadilly while 10.51PM then i rushed down to Manchester Victoria were i got 11.21 to Rochdale i didn’t get home till after Midnight
