On 15 January 2011, Rochdale drew 1-1 at home to Leyton Orient in League One. The match was played on a waterlogged Spotland pitch, in front of a crowd of 2,371, and afterwards the Rochdale manager Keith Hill gave the referee both barrels. “That wasn’t a spectacle, it was a farce. The biggest loser was the pitch. The pitch is an absolute disgrace, so whoever wanted this game on, for whatever reason, they are not looking at the long-term future. I don’t think the game should have been played. That’s forgotten now, it’s history.”
