I don’t understand how Rochdale’s pitch has got so bad, this was how it looked a couple of weeks ago. pic.twitter.com/x6CK1wT0wE

ROCHDALE HAVE BEATEN MILLWALL ON THE BEACH!

An ice cream van has just turned up on it, fans have ran onto the pitch and are now making sandcastles.

Keith Hill has left the pitch on a donkey!

IT'S ALL GOING OFF!

Must have been novel for someone from Rochdale to abuse a person over 14 years of age…
