As such, Rochdale were keen to encourage supporters to wear their change strip on Boxing Day to show support and raise awareness to the initiative to make sure everyone in the UK has access to a safe, secure and affordable place to call home.

It meant Hartlepool were in their home colours as they secured a 2-1 win at the Crown Oil Arena.
