The Dale Trust are running a sponsored walk to Accrington before our game there on Saturday 21st September.
The aim of the walk is to raise funds for this year’s chosen charity – Rochdale Football In the Community. The plan is to raise over £1,000 towards a van that they can use when they visit schools, organisations and community groups throughout the town.
We are hoping that as many Dale supporters as possible will join us for the walk, whether they are raising money or just fancy doing it socially. It is approximately fifteen miles as we head over Owd Betts.
We last walked to Accrington in the 2009-10 season, where close to a hundred supporters walked with us raising over £15,000 in the process, and we were rewarded with a fantastic 4-2 victory that all but sealed promotion. The conditions were dreadful that day, but it didn’t spoil the fun for anyone who was involved.
We will meet at the Ratcliffe Suite at 7:30 in the morning for light refreshments, before leaving at 8am and we hope to arrive at the Crown Pub at Accrington at approximately 2pm. There will be a brief pub stop along the way.
Anyone wanting to take part should print and fill out the forms which have further details on the walk. These will be available from the Trust desk.
