Away fans' pubs
These three take away fans. The Ratcliffe gets a mix rather than just away fans.
The Ratcliffe
Sandy Lane (OL11 5DR), close to the ground. Mostly away fans.
Cemetery Hotel
470 Bury Road (OL11 5EU). Has done away fans a discount on drinks before.
Royds Arms
158 Rooley Moor Road (OL12 7DQ).
Updated Sep 2026. Away-fan rules can change for big games, so check on the day.
Getting there
The ground is about 25 minutes' walk from Rochdale station, or a short bus or taxi ride.
Parking
Streets near the ground get busy on match days, so pre-book a space rather than hoping to find one.
