Hill spurns talk of 'derby' final

Keith Hill led Rochdale to fifth place in League Two

Rochdale boss Keith Hill has dismissed talk of the attraction of a Greater Manchester League Two play-off final.

Victory for Dale against Darlington in their semi-final, plus a Stockport win over Wycombe in the other would ensure an all North West Wembley meeting.

But Hill told BBC Radio Manchester: "I'm not bothered who we meet at Wembley if we get there.

"Whether it's Stockport or Wycombe, I'm not bothered. Either way it would be a great occasion."

He added: "It's an occasion we're aiming for. We're very close to achieving that aim.

"You can smell it now, you can almost feel it, but we've got to do a lot of work between now and Wembley.

"Obviously Darlington have the same ambition, so it's important we apply ourselves and re-focus for the two legged semi-final."
