Dale fan in peace.
There are several McDonalds in town - the obvious one to use is on the motorway junction as you approach Rochdale. Instead of taking the left fork at the end of the A627M just go across into the Sandbrook retail park.
The Ratcliffe bar in the clubs car park and the Studds bar under one of the home stands allow away fans. The Church Inn just up from the away stand is fine but doesn't serve grub. The chippy opposite the away stand has an excellent reputation. The Cemetry hotel about half a mile from ground coming from the motorway is a real ale pub with good grub.
Safe journey. Try and get here a bit early as the roads are still full of snow.
