Northwest Football Awards 2026 - Best Club Fan Engagement finalist!
23rd October 2026
Rochdale AFC and Rochdale AFC Community Trust have worked together to strengthen the relationship between the club and its supporters, placing fan engagement at the heart of the matchday experience.
The establishment of the Club Advisory Board has created a valuable platform for supporters to share their views, contribute ideas and help shape the future direction of the club. By encouraging open dialogue and collaboration, the initiative ensures that fans have a meaningful voice in decisions affecting their club.
Alongside this, Dale1907 has played an important role in revitalising the matchday atmosphere, bringing supporters together to generate greater noise, colour, and passion inside the stadium. Through supporter-led initiatives and a shared commitment to backing the team, the project has helped strengthen the sense of identity, belonging and collective pride associated with Rochdale AFC.
Together, these initiatives demonstrate a genuine commitment to listening to supporters, empowering fan involvement, and creating a more vibrant, inclusive, and unified matchday experience for the entire Dale family.
