The 3rd round of the Challenge Cup drew a trip to Spotland Stadium in Rochdale for The All Golds, whose president Lionel Hurst is seen preparing the changing room. |
The stadium is shared with Rochdale AFC, whose sign-age is placed above the tunnel, as a ball boy runs towards the pitch. |
This ticket was sat on top of the covers at the end of the pitch, Rochdale only beat Leeds to earn that FA cup tie with Wednesday! |
An external feature I like about smaller grounds, local residents can view games from their homes. I guess no one was interested in this fixture however an attendance of 307 was recorded. |
A general view of the stadium, taken from the Sandy Lane End. |
The Sandy Lane end is a standing terrace, and also used for storing of the goalposts when their not in use! |
One of the rare exciting moments from the All Golds, Marcus Elliot touching down in corner to score their only points of the game, ending 76-4 to Rochdale Hornets. |
