Does anyone know how it got the name of Spotland? Mcauburn 11:28, 27 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The area it's in is called Spotland, which is named after the river Spod which runs through to the Rochdale Canal I believe. Do you think I should add this to the article? -- Boothman 18:20, 27 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, because Spotland is an unusual name, so its quite an obscure fact.Mcauburn 16:46, 28 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Added a section on etymology of Spotland -- Boothman 19:02, 28 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Why does the Stadium now have a 27,949 Capacity??

The Stadium's capacity should be 7,500. Why has it been almost tripled?
