Wrexham pack their bags to visit Rochdale at Spotland on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Dragons will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.
The previous match played between the two at Spotland was more than three years back, in December 2002, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2 - 2 draw in a League Division Three match.
