Dale Trust membership window open

Rochdale Football Club

The Dale Supporters Trust membership window for the 2009/10 season is now officially open.

After breaking their all time membership record last season, and getting more than 500 members in the process, this year the Trust hopes to pick up more than 700 members.

Working alongside Rochdale Council and the Football Club, the Trust is hoping to improve the first team training facilities at Bowlee, in Middleton, and they are hoping that fans will rally around the cause.

Trust membership officer Scott Goulding said: "Year on year the Trust has gone from strength to strength and now that we are faced with our biggest money raising project to date, we hope that even more fans will join the Trust and give us their support. The benefits package for members is now better than ever but the biggest benefit has got to be the level that you support the club simply by joining us."

The Trust has frozen its membership prices for the coming season and already many people have renewed their membership for 2009/10.

Anyone wishing to join the Trust can visit the website, www.daletrust.org.uk, and follow the instructions, or download a membership form from http://www.daletrust.org.uk/assets_cm/files/pdf/membform0910.pdf and return the completed form, with a cheque to cover the cost of the membership fee, to the address shown or hand it in at the Trust desk in the Dale Bar at any of Dale's home friendlies.

Membership forms will also be available from outlets in and around the ground during each of the upcoming home friendlies.

The Trust have announced that all members that have renewed their membership for the coming season, or are entitled to complementary membership via the Share the Dream initiative, will receive their membership cards soon.
