Archive Overview and Introduction

Hello, and welcome to the Rochdale AFC Programme Guide. The guide is aimed at all levels of collectors, from the new to the very experienced, I am sure there is something of interest for you.

I am Iain Chrimes and act as archivist for the Trust and host my own web site featuring Dale programmes from 1910 to present day.

This is primarily a guide to Rochdale AFC programmes both home and away, covering all domestic games along with pre-season friendlies involving Rochdale. I hope to include information on whether a programme was indeed issued for a fixture, this will also include postponed fixtures. I aim to complete the guide as far back as possible, but without your help this is impossible. If you have scans of any gaps I have then I would welcome them with open arms. My email address is iain@rochdaleprogrammes.co.uk

It must be stated that this is a labour of love and I do not gain financially out of this site, I must also stress that this site is not by any means a comprehensive and complete guide to Rochdale match day programmes. Merely a useful reference to all. Of course if you have any additional information not included on this site, or even incorrectly included then I would welcome your input.

I have considered putting prices on the site but due to the constant changing prices of programmes it would be a constant battle to keep correctly up to date, as with most peoples advice within our hobby I would advise to shop around before parting with your hard earned cash.

To view the guide click on the ‘Programme Menu’ button above and simply select one of the different options of sections included on the site.

Enjoy the site, and feel free to contact me if you have suggestions or comments on the site. I am always on the lookout for any old Rochdale Programmes that you feel may be of interest, please contact me through the Contact Us page.

Thanks for looking.
Up The Dale!
