We are members of the Referee's Association and are affiliated to Lancashire County Football Association and Manchester Football Association. We usually have over 60 members each season from all standards of refereeing. We currently have members who officiate on the National Assistants List, Contributory Leagues, Supply Leagues and Local Open Age and Youth Saturday and Sunday Leagues. Rochdale RA are a member of the Referees Association and the Lancashire Referees Asssociation.
Monthly meetings are informal social occasions where we discuss all aspects of football and refereeing over a chat and a drink. At meetings we have either a guest speaker or a discussion topic for the evening.
The Association holds fitness training sessions at Cardinal Langley School, Middleton on Wednesday nights from 8pm to 9pm except for school holidays. Training re-starts in September.
