About Rochdale

Rochdale AFC was formed at a public meeting in May 1907, after two earlier attempts to establish an association football club in the town had come to nothing. The new club played at St Clement's playing fields, the site that became Spotland, and competed in regional leagues before being admitted to the Football League's new Third Division North in 1921.

Known as the Dale, Rochdale reached the 1962 League Cup final as a bottom-division side, losing to Norwich City. They later spent 36 consecutive seasons in the fourth tier before promotions in 2010 and 2014, peaking at eighth in League One in 2014–15. Relegation in 2023 ended more than a century in the Football League, which they rejoined in 2026. Oldham and Bury are traditional rivals.
