LAST VISIT

Dale put on a decent performance when they were last at Fratton Park on the final Friday in February 2020, only for a poor Ian Henderson miss at 1-0 and two late goals to condemn them to a harsh 3-0 defeat.

The 141 Dale fans there that night were the last ones to see the team in action in an away match.
