The Dale Trust will be the matchball sponsors for this weekend’s game with top of the table Blackpool.
Four Trust members were drawn at random last week and they, along with a guest, will be part of the matchball sponsorship. They will receive pre-match hospitality, which includes a three course meal, tickets for the match and a free copy of the matchday programme. They will also get to attend the post-match presentations. The winning Trust members were David Egan, Craig Roach, Geoff Blakeley and David Fleming.
Also in attendance will be Dale legend Peter Ward. He will be joining the Trust members for their meal and will partake in a Q&A for those dining in the main lounge on Saturday, where he recounts memories from his time with Dale.
This is the first of the three matchball sponsorships over the course of the season. The other two fixtures will be the home games against Portsmouth and Rotherham.
