Fantastic Fanatics partner up with Rochdale

Rochdale have teamed up with Fantas­tic­Fa­natics.­com which is an online and retail platform giving football fans the opportunity to raise money for their chosen club through everyday shopping.

All fans have to do is sign up with Fantas­tic­Fa­natics.­com and select Rochdale AFC as their chosen beneficiary. Fans register their everyday credit or debit card safely and securely, and quite simply, every time they spend with their retail partners, they will be raising money for the Club with a percentage of sales donated back to Rochdale AFC!

Simply visit the Fantastic Fanatics website and click 'shop now' with your desired retailer for your transaction to qualify. Please note that you must go through the website every time you shop otherwise the Club won't benefit. 

Fantastic Fanatics will never take any form of payment from you, and when you make a purchase it will never cost you a penny more.

Over 600 retailers are signed up to the scheme already and giving back to local clubs including Boots, B&Q, Currys PC World, JD Sports, John Lewis, Papa Johns, Village Hotels, Travelodge, Clarks, Boohoo, ASOS, Sky and loads more.

Every time fans shop, eat out, book a hotel or even pay utility bills they will be generating funds for the club. Through the website fans can also keep up to date on funds raised and discover retail partners on board.

Rochdale’s Commercial Director, Frances Fielding said: “We are delighted to partner with Fantastic Fanatics. Our supporters want to help during these difficult times and this partnership can raise vital funds for the club without costing our supporters anything extra. With Black Friday around the corner hopefully fans can make some great retail savings plus make money for the club at the same time!”

"The technology behind Fantastic Fanatics makes things so safe and simple for the supporter, as they can choose the association or club they want to support, make a purchase at one of their favourite online retailers and generate a commission, all with a few clicks of the mouse.

"Ultimately, Fantastic Fanatics enables sports clubs and organisations to worry less about the finances and get on with what they do best – delivering the benefits of sport to their participants, fans and members."
