The 2014–15 season was the 94th season of competitive football for Rochdale. Rochdale returned to Football League One for 2014–15 following promotion in 2013–14 Football League Two.

Rochdale began the season on 9 August 2014, with the opening game of their League One campaign. They also competed in the two domestic cups, the FA Cup and the League Cup.

Background

Rochdale finished third in the League two last season meaning that they gained automatic promotion to League One.[1] Scott Hogan,[2] George Donnelly[3] and Matt Done[4] left the club. Rochdale completed their first signing of the season on 15 May 2014 with the acquisition of Jack Muldoon from Workshop Town on a free transfer,[5] and followed this up in the following five days with Sean McGinty from Sheffield United.[6]
