History archive
By Mark | March 22, 2011
Welcome to an archive of nearly 10 years of Rochdale Hornets
Yes, Hornets have an official site now which can be found at http://www.hornetsrugbyleague.co.uk/
Before that we had various incarnations, it all started on Compuserve!
Here today we have the following
Stories from April 2001 to September 2008 are found at http://www.onwardhornetsonward.co.uk/display1.shtml
Then on the site you are now viewing we had stories from September 2008 until January 2009
Then somehow it became “official” from February 2009 until January 2010, and then new stories ceased to be found here and the stories started to appear at http://www.hornetsrugbyleague.co.uk/
Enjoy!

Groundsman requires help
By admin | January 8, 2010
Phil Collinson, the head groundsman at Spotland Stadium, has requested help from fans in shovelling snow from the pitch on Saturday and Sunday. In order to get the pitch playable for the fixtures next weekend, the snow needs to be removed from the covers. Supporters are asked to bring their own shovels and wheelbarrows if possible, as the equipment is broken and there are none available in stores. Anyone who can help is asked to go to the entrance between the Main Stand and the TDS stand from 9am on both Saturday and Sunday. All help is really appreciated.

By admin | January 6, 2010
Hornets next game is scheduled for Sunday 17th January (depending on the weather of course!).
Please note that for this game the Club is experimenting with an earlier than usual kick off of 1pm to see whether this would be ideal for future matches.

Sundays game postponed
By admin | January 2, 2010
Sundays Law Cup game against Oldham has been postponed due to the adverse weather.
It has been rearranged for 7.30pm Kick Off at Spotland for this coming Wednesday the 6th of January.
The Police contacted the Soccer Club to instruct them that todays Soccer fixture shouldnt go ahead on safety grounds, even before the state of the was taken into account.
The Hornets contacted Oldham who agreed to the new date, with Wednesday being the best option to give the pitch as much time as possible to thaw.
Coach John Stankevitch though obviously disappointed will work with the squad to ensure the team is ready for the Wednesday night match.
We will ensure fans will be updated as much as possible on the state of the pitch and preparations for Wednesday.
Hornets would like to thank Chris Hamilton for his assistance and co-operation in facilitating the new date at such short notice.
