Reserves in action this afternoon

The game will kick off at 2:00 p.m. and will be played at Dark Lane, home of Rossendale United which is the regular venue for Rochdale's home games.

Our game there last season ended in a 5-2 win for the Clarets after we'd gone in a goal down at the interval. Goals from Steve Jones, David Unsworth, Ade Akinbiyi, James O'Connor and Jay Rodriguez turned the game round for us with Unsworth's a memorable strike from a free kick.

Admission this afternoon at Rossy is £2.50 adults and £1.50 concessions and I'm told it is worth sampling the delights of the home made soup with garlic bread.
