The popular coaching courses were again excellently attended with approximately 200 boys and girls taking part during the two weeks at the four venues organised by Football in the Community.

The new venture at the Soccer Factory was a huge success with over 100 children taking advantage of the excellent facilities plus able to watch the Rochdale players train during their build up to the weekend matches.
