A night to remember
Rochdale Supporters Trust is promising a night for Rochdale fans to remember when it hosts the club's end of season awards evening.
Supporters are invited to join the players and management duo Keith Hill and Dave Flitcroft for what could be the celebration of a lifetime.
This year's awards evening will take place in the Ratcliffe Bars and Function Suites at Spotland after Dale's final home game of the season against Burton on Saturday 1 May.
Tickets for the evening go on sale at the Trust Desk in the Ratcliffe Bar at 1pm on Monday 5 April, the day of the Bournemouth home game. The Trust is expecting a huge demand for what is a limited number of tickets, so initial ticket sales will be limited to two per person. In the unlikely event that there are any tickets left after the Bournemouth sale, remaining tickets will go on general sale in the club shop and at the Trust desk before future home games.
Tickets are priced at £15 each, with guests receiving a hot buffet meal, entry to the awards ceremony and live post-ceremony entertainment, plus a unique memento from this remarkable season and automatic entry into the prize draw for a piece of signed Dale memorabilia. The venue will be open into the early hours for Dale fans to party the night away.
The doors to the Ratcliffe Bars and Function Suites will be open straight after the Burton game, with the awards ceremony beginning at 8pm.

The fate today’s Swansea footballers would never have to endure Swansea City bring this season to a close on Saturday with a home game against Millwall. However, what about those bygone days when footballers had no choice but to go down the pit after their career ended, or open a toy shop, pub or retrain ? That thought would petrify todays modern footballer.
Brave Swans in memorable game at Carrow Road It was a pulsating game to watch and very much one of my favourite away games of the season. The Swans looked an entirely different side to that we saw at Middlesbrough when it is clear a catalyst for commitment was agreed behind the scenes at Swansea City. To a man every player grafted and
wore the shirt with pride. To see the players really acknowledge the Swans support at Carrow Road this afternoon was emotional.
Swansea reject Cullen contract and trigger one year option Liam Cullen has had his request for a new contract dismissed by Swansea City after discussions broke down last week. The lowest paid ‘senior’ player at the club ( he is twenty five) asked for a better contract increasing his £3,500 a week to around £7,000 a week over three years.
Sam Parker hasn’t turned down a new deal, he is willing to negotiate He was a revelation for the Swans for the few games he played this season, and now it emerges Sam Parker has ‘turned down’ a new Swansea City contract. News is thin on the ground, and some of it just incorrect as he looks to involve his representatives in some further negotiations. Plus his current contract runs for two more years.
