The fixtures are now out for our first season back in the Football League.

Dale kick off their season with a grim trip down to South Wales to take on Newport County in a dinner time kick-off due to Sky TV coverage

Our 409 derby games against Oldham Athletic are on 19th September (at home) and 17th April (away).

Our festive fixtures see us travel to Rotherham United on Boxing Day followed by two home fixtures against Salford City and then Chesterfield on New Year's Day.

We wrap up the season at home to Cheltenham Town on 8th May
