Rochdale AFC are currently playing in the National League, the 5th tier of the English league system. Rochdale’s stadium, known as Spotland, has been their home since 1930 but in recent seasons the stadium pitch has been struggling with waterlogging issues which has affected the club’s ability to fulfil fixtures. This disruption can negatively affect revenue streams so naturally the club were keen to prevent this. Matchsaver Pitch Protection were approached to discuss ways to help alleviate the problem.
After discussing various options, the decision was made. A set of 7 waterproof Air Roller Covers were purchased and delivered to Rochdale in February 2025. The Matchsaver Air Roller Covers arrived fully assembled and ready to be deployed sideline to sideline across the Spotland pitch.
The club are pleased that the kit has already saved several football fixtures which otherwise would have been postponed.
We wish Rochdale AFC every success going forward and would like to thank the club for choosing Matchsaver, the club having now joined a long list of Matchsaver’s customers across Europe and beyond.
