First and foremost, the Trust Board would like to wish all our members a happy and peaceful 2026. We want to thank you all for your support and input into the Trust’s activities. We have achieved a great deal in 2025, and we look forward to continuing to represent you at the highest level. Our full contact details are below.
We hope that the festive holiday and New Year’s Eve, however celebrated, were as you planned, and that the turn of the year will bring peace and fulfilment to all. In addition to Dale’s promotion (sic) we hope your own personal goals and resolutions come to fruition over the coming months.
With today’s game cancelled (we reported that HERE), our travel manager, Emma, is reaching out to everyone who booked on our coach. You can choose to’ bank” your fee for future transport or request a full refund.
Emma will contact affected customers, but please be patient as processing may take a day or two. If, in the interim, you have preferred options, please reach out to Emma with them.
The club will announce the rescheduled game once plans are finalised. Members who bought tickets and want refunds should contact the Ticket office
Though most had a day off, we must mention our sister organisation, Dale 1907, which decorated the Wham with DALE flags, creating a homely feel against Hartlepool.

While everyone stayed warm at home, the 1907 team travelled to Accrington to disassemble the flags and return to the COA. Thanks must go to Lee, Mat, and the 1907 team.
Finally, a thought to the folks at Accrington who made us all welcome a few days ago and who worked hard to get today’s match on. Respect.
The Trust’s usual news update will be out over the next week or so. In the meantime, we hope everyone stays warm, healthy, and ready for our next adventure when we visit Tamworth on Saturday, 10th January 2026, for the Isuzu FA Trophy. The game is at Tamworth’s The Lamb Ground with a 3pm kick-off.
