Game watched: Rochdale 0-1 Lincoln City
Oh, this was on a Tuesday a long time ago when I was living in Bradford. It was my first game at the League Two level, then called Division 3. It still is the only game I have watched from the away section. Rochdale reserved one of the stands for the visitors so the view of the ground was as I liked it. It's also one of the few games I miss a ticket from since it was pay at-the-turnstile.
I was surprised by the furious tempo of the game. I expected both teams to tire in the second half, but it just went on until the finish. Lincoln City's Ben Futcher scored the only goal late in the 2nd half, if my memory serves me right. After the game had ended, I walked back to Rochdale Station and caught a late train back to Bradford. At the station, I had to take a taxi to get to my B&B in Shipley since buses and trains had stopped serving the area whwere I was living for the night.
