Dale Bar open from 12pm
The Dale Bar will be open to both home and away supporters before Saturday's game with Hartlepool with doors opening at midday.
In a change from last season, the 50p off a pint discount that was offered to Trust members last season has been extended to season ticket holders. This offer is available before 2pm and only at the Dale Bar. It will not be available at the bar in the Ratcliffe Suite.
Another change for the new season is the availability of food within the bars. There are new caterers at the club in the form of Ravenstones of Greenfield. They have recently been appointed to do the catering before the game in the Players Lounge, but this has been extended to include the Dale bar before the game and also at half time. They will be available to serve from around 12:30pm.
On the five sceens in the bar will be one of the fellow FL 125th anniversary games with Burnley v Bolton being shown on the screens. The problem that affected the big screen last season has now been sorted so there will be no repeat of those issues.
