ROCHDALE’S away game at Torquay will have to be rescheduled following the Devon club’s progress in the FA Cup.

Having beaten Notts County 2-1 to reach the third round, Torquay will face Birmingham City on Saturday 7 January – the date originally set for the League Two fixture against Dale. No new date has been arranged.

After taking on Grimsby at Blundell Park last night, this weekend Dale travel to Wycombe – arguably the most impressive visitors seen at Spotland so far this season.
