Oldham Athletic supporters have been warned not to buy tickets in the home stands for the club's away game to Rochdale later this month or risk having their ticket cancelled.

The Latics are set to visit their local rivals' ground, Spotland Stadium, known as the Crown Oil Arena for sponsorship reasons, on Saturday, October 21 in the Vanarama National League.

The Latics said in a club statement, issued jointly with Rochdale, that the allocation of tickets in the away end had now sold out.

Oldham supporters are being advised not to buy any tickets in any of the home stands, or the ticket could be cancelled.

The statement read: "It is a term of any ticket purchased from Rochdale that the club has the right to cancel a ticket bought by a visiting supporter within the home areas without issuing a refund. 

"Following communications with Greater Manchester Police, it has been agreed that the two clubs will work in partnership to implement these terms. 

"Oldham supporters are therefore reminded not to purchase tickets in the home stands and any supporters found to have done so will have their ticket cancelled without a refund."
