Rochdale Supporters Trust is hoping to kick start Rochdale Football Club’s dream of owning its own training ground.

The Trust has been approached by the club’s board of directors in the hope of raising funds for pitch improvements at Bowlee; with the long term aim of improving the facility so that the club can train there full time.

Initially the Trust is hoping to give £2000 to the club to spend on pitch improvements at Bowlee, with a further £2000 to come in the summer.

Before the Trust can release the funds we need the support of our members so we have called an EGM to take place immediately after the Darlington game in the hope that you will give the project the green light.

The initial pitch improvements are the start of a long term project in which the club, with the support of the Trust, hopes to bring the Bowlee facility up to standard, with the pitches and changing rooms owned solely by the football club.

The estimated cost of the whole project is in the region of £30,000 and the club hopes to raise the money and become owners of the Bowlee facility within the next year.

If the Trust can get the backing of its members for this project, we will gear a number of our events over the coming months towards raising money so that one day in the near future Rochdale Football Club will finally own its own training facility.

The EGM for members will take place immediately after the Darlington home game on Saturday 18 April in the Dale Bar. All members should bring their membership cards for voting purposes.
