Details confirmed for play-off clash with Hunslet

Rochdale Hornets’ qualifying play-off semi-final against Hunslet will take place on Sunday 15 September, with tickets now on general sale.

The fixture will be a 3pm kick-off at the Crown Oil Arena. 

The Hornets leapfrogged Hunslet to secure home advantage in the first week of the play-offs, courtesy of an impressive victory over second-placed Keighley Cougars last weekend. 

Play-off tickets are now on general sale to all supporters, with visiting fans allocated Block E of the Main Stand. 

As a special offer celebrating the recent sporting success of the town’s rugby league and football teams, we will also be offering 10% off tickets using the code “DOUBLEDALE” at checkout. 

PLEASE NOTE: This offer will only be available until midnight on Friday 6 September. 

It promises to be a blockbuster occasion as both teams look to secure promotion to the Betfred Championship for 2025, and tickets are expected to sell quickly. 

The last meeting between the sides came in June, when the Hornets ran out convincing 48-18 winners on the road, in one of the performances of the season. 

How do the play-offs work?

Defeat in the opening week of the play-offs will not signal the end of either side’s 2024 adventure. 

Below, we’ve outlined the play-off format for 2024, and the potential route to promotion.
