DIRECTIONS TO SPOTLAND STADIUM
By Road:
Exit the M62 at junction 20 and follow signs for Rochdale along the A627(M). At the first set of traffic lights, bear left, past B&Q on your right-hand side, and follow this road until the next set of traffic lights. Here, you need to be in the 2nd of four lanes, heading straight across (Tesco is on your left-hand side). Follow this road until the next set of traffic lights, remaining in the left-hand lane to go straight across (the Cemetery pub is diagonally opposite on the right-hand side). Continue along this road and the stadium is on your right-hand side after approximately half a mile.
Parking at the Stadium for Rugby Matchdays is available - there will be a £5 charge per car, or £40 coach upon entering the Stadium.
By Train:
The ground is approximately 3 miles from the train station, so it is recommended that you take a taxi. However, if you would prefer to walk, the quickest route, with the station behind you, is to go straight ahead across the roundabout onto Maclure Road. After 300 yards, you'll reach a T-junction with Halfords on your right. Turn left into Drake Street. After half a mile, turn right at the traffic lights onto the A58 dual carriageway and head towards the town centre. After half a mile, you'll come to a major traffic junction with two 'spire' sculptures. Cross the road in the direction of Asda - this is Dane Street, Follow Dane Street round past Asda until you reach a set of traffic lights (Bury Road on your left). Follow the road straight on - this is Mellor Street - for half a mile until you reach a mini-roundabout. Just after the mini-roundabout, the road forks. Take the left turn onto Edenfield Road. After 100 yards turn left onto Willbutts Lane and go up the hill. The ground is 150 yards on your left.
MATCH DAY INFORMATION
Rochdale Hornets look forward to welcoming all supporters to Spotland on matchdays.
In order to make your trip as enjoyable as possible we summarise some key points below:
Turnstiles & Parking
Entry is via the turnstiles information located on your ticket. Please proceed directly to the turnstile on arrival and be aware of the spectators code of conduct. We no longer operate the ‘swaps programme’ allowing junior season ticket holders to gain entry for free with their membership cards.
NB. Hornets Junior season cards and match tickets are free but must be purchased with a full paying Adult or Concession.
We do not operate a ticket collection service as online tickets can be printed or displayed on your mobile device. Booking tickets online or in advance will prevent game day queuing. Simply bring your ticket and scan the QR code at the turnstile.
Ways to pay.
We recommend that you buy early and via our online ticketing system. Your ticket is then sent to you on email and you can use this to scan into the ground at the turnstile.
Alternatively, you CAN purchase tickets for cash or card at the ticket office in advance and on the match day.
Choosing to purchase a ticket on match day may result in a delay in gaining entry to the stadium.
Ample car parking is available at the stadium (£5 per car/£40 coach - CASH) on a first come first serve basis. Please be aware that traffic enforcement officers do work weekends and parking in the coned side streets, in resident areas and on double yellow lines may result in parking fines issued by the local Council. Blue badge holders can park for free.
Parking restrictions may be enforced, parking is on first come first served basis. Please keep checking on the website for more information. We have limited disability parking, please contact the office for more details.
Lounge and Bars
The 1907 Lounge will be open to all fans unless there is a club event taking place. This will be advertised in advance and fans wishing to buy tickets for club events may do so online.
For our Event Days, we may open the Smith Metals Family Stand, including Our Spot Bar & a relocated Hoopers Hive, complete with Food & Drink kiosk by Scratch Catering.
Food and Dining
Those wishing to purchase food or hot and cold drinks may do so at the 1907 bar.
Dining is available on match days on advanced bookings only and interested supporters should contact the office to make a booking. The cost of hospitality and dining is priced at £45.00 per person or £30.00 per person as a season ticket upgrade
Away supporters who wish to eat/drink before coming to the stadium are recommended to try The Cemetery pub - who offer a wide choice of real ales, quality food and are in the town centre - a short distance from the ground.
The clubs official catering partner, Scratch Catering, will offer hot food in the Main Lounge and on the catering kiosks.
