Seating plans announced for '25/26

|May 03, 2025
FOLLOWING the introduction of Fanbase as the new Ticketing and Fan Engagement platform, as well as the announcement of 2025/26 Season Tickets, the club has provided some important updates regarding the Crown Oil Arena seating plan for next season.
-
BLOCK U-SMITH METALS FAMILY STAND
FROM next season, Block U has been released for Season Ticket sale.
Visiting supporters will be situated in the Willbutts Lane Stand for all fixtures. Block T of that stand, nearest to the Smith Metals Family Stand, will be used as a segregation line between stands and supporters for most games.
Opening Block U for home supporters means the club expect different support groups to review where they sit. The club will work with all fans and supporter groups to establish a safe and enjoyable matchday operation when seat choices are known. These changes have been implemented following meetings with the Club Advisory Board, Dale Supporters Trust and GMP. The club will continue to engage in dialogue with supporter groups and the police to understand the optimum seating areas and facilities in the stadium.
