Our 2025/26 away schedule begins on Saturday (12:30pm) with the shortest trip of the Enterprise National League season - Rochdale at the Crown Oil Arena.

The lunchtime fixture, brought forward for live coverage on DAZN, offers Alty the chance to put down an early season marker against a club with promotion ambitions of their own.

A Positive Start

Jimmy Knowles' 78th minute goal on Saturday secured a deserved three points for the Robins against Aldershot Town on Opening Day - the first of six outings in the month of August for Phil Parkinson's side.

This weekend's opponents also started the new campaign with a win, at newly-promoted Boreham Wood. Summer signing Mani Dieseruvwe's brace clinching the three points for Jim McNulty's side.

The Gaffer

"It was really difficult going to Rochdale last season, however, we're looking to go to there this season, off the back of a good, positive, opening day win against Aldershot, and give a good account of ourselves against a team who have heavily invested and have a lot of experience in their ranks."
