Please join us in showing your support for Joe Thompson at Saturday's game against Dorking Wanderers.
We're asking fans at the Crown Oil Arena to join us in a round of applause in the 15th-minute, Joe's former Dale squad number.
Joe revealed on Friday that his cancer has returned for a third time. He and his family have set up a Go Fund Me page, as they aim to raise £250,000 to cover the cost of his ongoing treatment and ‘to pioneer a ground breaking test that could prevent the recurrence of not only my cancer but potentially save countless lives in the future’.
Our annual end of season awards will take place following our match. Post-match, the players will perform a lap of appreciation, to thank the Dale faithful for their support this season. After this, the Ratcliffe Bar will be open, where the end of season awards will take place. Entry is free, with the awards expected to begin at approximately 6pm.
We hope you have a great match day experience and, of course, up the Dale!

I'm sorry for the delay in responding. We have discussed the possibility of buying a dart board, but unfortunately, we haven't made a final decision yet. Although we have thought about opening mid-week, we are concerned about the cost and the potential risk of running at a loss since we don't know how many people will attend. Furthermore, we don't have access to Sky Sports, which limits the sports events we can show on our screens.

Update starting from this weekend. The Ratcliffe and Dale Bar will now both open from 12pm. Happy Hour will still be running, this has now changed from 12pm-1pm. Unfortunately, we have received price increases from the brewery. We have slightly adjusted our prices to remain competitive with our rivals and the town centre.
Thanks for supporting our matchday bars. Our bars provide a vital income to our club and we appreciate your visit.
Unfortunately, due to its high purchase price and short shelf life, we had to discontinue Beavertown Neck Oil. We may revisit this matter in the future. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

We discussed this with the Hornets on Monday. Depending on ticket sales, the decision was to wait and see closer to the time. If numbers are 700 plus we will look at opening to ease pressure off the 1907 bar.
Another factor to consider is that if our match is unfortunately postponed but the Hornets' match goes ahead, The Ratcliffe will remain closed. This is because we would be switching on all coolers and creating waste in the beer lines. We need to consider the additional power consumption and wages. There are no upcoming events, which means the bars will not be used until the next football match on the 17th.
