Dale have got Peterboro in the opening game of the season for the third year on the trot to complete a trilogy up there with Star Wars, the Godfather, Toy Story and the one with all the Hobbits in it.

The new fixture list has come with a very familiar feel to it after our opening game matched that of the 2014-15 and 2015-16 seasons with Peterborough United being the visitors to Spotland.

Aside from the that, the fixture list has been quite kind to us. The four noted dates of the season have us at home in every one - opening game, Boxing Day, New Years Eve and the closing date of the season.

You can view all the fixtures for this season on this website by clicking here but you'll have to scroll past last seasons' fixtures/results first.
