After spending half the last 20years in the lower echelons of RL I thought their wouldn't be many of the grounds that would be new to Rovers supporters and to be fair the only one I can think of is Bower Fold were Oldham play.
Toulouse Olympique XIII play at the Stade Ernest Argeles and IIRC we played there in 2013 beating Catalan with a very late try 21-22. Maybe Swinton Lions ground at Sedgley Park could be a new ground Swinto moved to Sedgley park in 2004 prior to us joining SL. They've since played at a few grounds but now returned & Rochdales stadium is Spotland renamed.
A lot of the older fans will have but it could be a brand new experience for the younger fans! And a chance to teach them about the history of RL and maybe recount a few stories of times the older lot went to these grounds! I know my grandad always remembers and tells me about old games when we play teams, for example, when we played you in 2015 in the Challenge Cup (good game btw) he recalled the time against you I think when Len Casey walked the team off the pitch. Against Workington last season, another story etc.
Plus it makes a change going to the older grounds too. As long as you don't get used to it again like we have
Be a few interesting games against you lot next year. 3, maybe 4 I believe!
