Derby tickets decision

SUPPORTERS who attended the ill-fated derby between Rochdale and Athletic — the match was abandoned after only eight minutes because of a waterlogged pitch — will be able to watch the rearranged game for no extra charge.

They will need to obtain a new ticket by returning the original ticket stub to the place of purchase.

If fans can’t attend the game — a new date is expected to be confirmed next week — they will receive a full refund.

However, officials stress that only new tickets can be exchanged on stubs from Tuesday night. Tickets will be available from 9am on Wednesday, November 10, until November 24.
