Spotland is the 10,249 capacity home ground of Rochdale F.C, and is jointly owned by Rochdale A.F.C, Rochdale Hornets and Rochdale Council.

The stadium was built in 1920 and takes its unusual name from the area of Rochdale named after the River Spodden. Spotland literally means "area around the Spodden", where Spodden means "spouting stream".

The ground has 4 stands: The Horners Stand (or Main Stand), The Thwaites Beer Stand (the Sandy Lane End), The W.M.G. Stand (Pearl Street end) and the Westrose Leisure Stand (the Willbutts Lane Stand).

All are fully-seated, apart from the Sandy Lane End, which is a small terrace behind one of the goals. Return from Spotland Stadium to Rochdale
