Hemel Game
Plans are well under way for the 'Clash of the Co-ops' on the 2 June.

To celebrate the first time two supporter owned clubs have come head to head on the Rugby field, Rochdale Hornets are slashing ticket prices to just £2.

It is also extra value for money as the under 20s are taking on Hemel in a curtain raiser kicking off at 12.30.

The offer has been sent out to local cooperatives, schools, businesses and rugby clubs amongst others.

It is a team effort to get the message out there so wherever you can, please help us get the poster displayed (you can request copies from the office) , the vouchers printed (below) and into peoples hands or the link to the online voucher emailed around.
