In 2008 Gabriels changed their name to Rochdale Town to try and attract support
and sponsors from the wider Rochdale area, rather than just Castleton. They also
formed links with the major club of the town, Rochdale, who gave their blessing to the name
change. They also adopted Rochdale's centenary kit of black and white
stripes. Their
first home game in the league as Rochdale Town was a 4–5 defeat at the start of
the 2008–09 season to the newly formed AFC Liverpool on 16 August 2008

Wigan Robin Park
Today's opponents Wigan Robin Park need a win to secure the Champions title and the game proves to be open and entertaining with a controversial penalty and sending off . Town are determined to spoil the party but find it difficult after being reduced to ten men when their keeper receives his marching orders for attempting to bring down Phil Howard just outside the box . The referee appeared to allow the advantage but when Howard failed to score a spot kick was awarded which the replacement goalie saved .The Robins from Wigan run out winners by 4-1 and are presented with the North West Counties Division 1 Trophy by representatives from nwcf |
