It’s the first of two consecutive home matches to kick off September, with Gillingham to come on Saturday.
Read through our guide to all the evening timings and further details.
ADMISSION DETAILS
Tickets are on sale via our online ticketing provider Fanbase until kick-off, with supporters able to buy online 24/7 HERE, which is the easiest and quickest way to do so. Your ticket will be saved to your phone, which can then be scanned at the turnstiles.
Supporters may also buy in-person or over the phone (01706 644648, option one). Please note that, from this season, tickets cannot be purchased from the Club Shop on matchdays. The Main Stand Ticket Office will be open for on-the-day sales for all stands.
We would urge anyone buying in-person to do so as early as possible, in order to avoid queues in the build-up to kick-off. Turnstiles open from 6.15pm, and we are also asking supporters to arrive early in order to access the stadium.
GETTING TO THE GROUND
Check out our Visitor Guide which details how to get to the stadium by car, train, tram and bus.
Please note that, if travelling by car, ongoing roadworks in Rochdale are causing delays, particularly at Manchester Road/Bolton Road junction. Please allow extra time for your journey.
SEASON TICKET COLLECTION
There are still supporters who are yet to collect their Season Ticket. They can do so when the Ticket Office opens on Tuesday at 10am, up until kick-off.
Please allow plenty of time to collect, as we expect queues to be busy in the build-up to kick-off, with match tickets also being sold from this point.
AWAY FANS
Away fans will be housed in the Willbutts Lane Stand for every game during the 26/27 season.
Shrewsbury Town supporters can purchase tickets for the game HERE.
DALE ST KITCHEN
Our catering kiosks at the Crown Oil Arena have undergone a rebrand following significant investment.
The new menu is available across all kiosks in the home stands and the Ratcliffe Bar. Click HERE to view the menu.
Staff are still becoming accustomed with our new tilling systems, and as such, we kindly ask all supporters to show patience.
THE RATCLIFFE BAR / OUR SPOT / 1907 LOUNGE
The Ratcliffe and Dale Bars will both be open from 5pm on Tuesday. The Dale St Kitchen in the Ratcliffe will also be open from this time.
The Bars will reopen post-match.
A reminder that there are no 1907 Lounge Passes available this season, due to the room being at capacity. All supporters are encouraged to use the newly refurbished Ratcliffe Bar ahead of and after the game.
Those supporters with a seasonal Lounge Pass can enter from 6pm, when the bar and food kiosk will also open from.
CLUB SHOP
Our Club Shop, located behind the Family Stand, will be open from 4pm. You can pre-order our newly released third kit in-store or online.
The Club Shop will reopen again after full-time for a short while.
MATCHDAY PROGRAMME
Our official matchday programme, The Voice Of Spotland, will be available to purchase.
Skipper Ethan Ebanks-Landell is cover star, and you can purchase from the Club Shop or around the ground for £3.

FLAG HANDOUTS
The Dale 1907 supporters group, in conjunction with the Club, have purchased 500 new hand waving flags for fans in the Smith Metals Family Stand.
