The pitch covers are down at the Crown Oil Arena ahead of Tuesday night’s game against MK Dons.
With snow potentially due on Saturday evening, combined with below freezing temperatures forecast from Sunday onwards, the ground staff worked into the evening after Dale’s League One fixture against Charlton Athletic to carry out post-match care of the pitch and to cover the surface.
We’d like to thank Richard Blackburn and his team for their hard work and dedication to firstly prepare the pitch in difficult weather conditions to ensure the match against the Addicks went ahead, as well as acting quickly after the fixture to take the important precautions ahead of Tuesday.
