There's a long way to go, of course, and these are very small sample sizes, but the average number of Dale fans at this season's home games is currently the highest it has been since the 2019/20 season.
It is also higher than in the entire 2015/16 season when we were in League One and only 95 less than the 2013/14 promotion campaign.
And that's even though, to coin what's becoming a popular phrase, we haven't played anyone yet...
Also, the average number of home fans at our two midweek league fixtures so far (a very small sample size) is higher than at all last season's midweek games, including the Oldham match.
So, the sketchy conclusion is that there are small improvements, but it's slow progress.
Let's also remember having seven home games in the season's first two months will be hard on the pockets of those who aren't season ticket holders, especially as our matchday admission is quite high in comparison.
Also, as DDB mentions, it often takes more attractive opposition, or a crucial six-pointer type of game to entice non-regulars.
Surprised the OP hasn't returned to this interesting debate, either.... [Post edited 27 Sep 10:37]

The difference between Carlisle and Truro is that the former have the facilities and capacity to offer more to away fans than they have chosen to do. |

That's the only area for away fans at Brunton Park this season.
It might be worth contacting them to let them know the issues you have. |

We won 4-0 under lights against Gateshead wearing what is our official all-blue home strip, when we produced arguably a better performance than last night.
We will have plenty of Saturday games that will finish under lights from November to January. Should we change to white shorts and socks at half-time?
The league won't allow us to keep changing willy-nilly, as we registered an all blue kit with them, for games played with and without floodlights.

It was pointed out on Facebook that the story was from 2018. |

East kicked the ball away when Solihull had been given a free kick.
And it isn't better to see that combination of colours. Our home kit is all blue and was worn v Gateshead and Blackburn U21 under lights. Given Solihull turned up with blue shorts, they should have worn our white ones if it was so important. [Post edited 24 Sep 9:03]

I could imagine him inspecting Spotland on Saturday and berating Mr Angry with "It's not my fault it's flooded." |

Reply | Rochdale v Southend United - Game Off!
at 17:12 20 Sep 2025
TBF, Chaff, we weren't the only game off.
Blackburn v Ipswich was abandoned, as was KFC Fylde v someone (when they were 4-0 up) and Runcorn v bury. FC United v Rushall was also postponed.
You're right about the pitch and squad, but it's not accurate to say we were the only game off. |
