At this weekend’s game, the following people received their ‘badge of honour’:

Time served members are the people who as well as paying their membership to become owners of the club they also give at least four hours of their time voluntarily to support the Rochdale Hornets in whatever way they can.

Time served members get a ‘badge of honour’ as a thank you to the effort they put into helping their club function.
