In 1844 there was a revolution in a small mill town called Rochdale, it didn’t involve soldiers or politicians only the local traders who decided that it was time the consumer got a fair deal from the merchants.

The Cooperative movement was born and it has spread since to cover the greater part of the globe.

In 2008 the Rochdale Rugby League club went into administration after over 130 years of unbroken history.

The fans of Rochdale Hornets then decided to emulate their forefathers and the club was re-born as a Co-Operative club which is wholly owned by the members. This democratically run club is now into its third year of existence and in line with their policy of working with the community this season they have put one fixture aside as a fund-raiser for the mental health charity MENCAP.

Our home, Spotland Stadium, holds approximately 10,000 people and we have challenged ourselves to break the Championship One crowd record against Workington Town on 10th July 2011.

Ticket prices have been slashed and the proceeds go to the charity MENCAP with only £1 per ticket going to the club itself.

Prices are as follows;

Adult - £5.00 with £4.00 going to MENCAP.
Concessions - £3.00 with £2.00 going to MENCAP.

Of course the club would like to see the stadium full for this match but if you want to buy a ticket and are unable to attend this would be just as good.

Please try to support this very worthy cause and help Rochdale Hornets to break the record attendance, for a Championship One fixture as well!

Worthy though your post may be Pugwash - you will have missed your target here. We're a forum for NRL and Australian Rugby League - unless that is you're talking about Rochdale in Queensland.

Your money is as good as any other mate, we don't mind if you want to buy a ticket. Rochdale Hornets has lamentably low crowds sadly and we want to really hit the headlines with this and don't care who buys them.

You interested? You never know the ticket could be worth thousands on EBAY, rupees though.

P.S.

We have some mates in Australia and one of our guys is en route as I type. James and co at Newtown Jets are Hornets theough and through and will be taking Jim to the Souths game this weekend.

GARN Souths.
