Those of you who think of Spotlands as a rundown old ground, think again. This ground is superb. Enough character remains to remind us how the old ground was. The terracing behind the goal is atmospheric and away fans have most of the huge all seated Wilbutts Road stand. When you consider that the large WMG stand, behind the goal at the far end, cost only £900,000,and seats 2700,you can see the ridiculousness of the premiership transfer fees and wages. This stand 'Dale', on it, whereas the away fans stand has 'Rochdale' on it!
