Rochdale AFC’s matchday programme – The Voice of Spotland – is back for Saturday’s Vanarama National League fixture against Southend United.
TVOS has had a revamp for this season, but still contains many of the features – and new ones – to keep you entertained and informed before, during and after the match!
The programme starts with a front cover image of Kairo Mitchell, our hat-trick scorer last Saturday, complete with the matchball from the win at AFC Fylde.
Jimmy McNulty reflects on that victory at Mill Farm, after which we have a host of features, including:
ON THIS DAY – previous games and Dale events on 19th October.
HALF-TIME QUIZ – an updated quiz page that tests your Dale and general footballing knowledge.
OVERSEAS DALE – a new series looking at Dale players who were born away from these shores. This time, it’s a Welsh international who was born in Saudi Arabia!
SCRUTATOR – the longest-serving columnist in football programmes returns to look at things he misses in modern football.
ACROSS THE WATER – Bray-based Dale fan Brian Quigley is back with his look at general football matters.
THROUGH THE YEARS – what Dale were doing at this time 5, 10, 20, 30, 40 & 50 Years Ago.
DALE ACTION – a selection of images from the games against Maidenhead United and Solihull Moors.
TRAVELLER’S TALES – after a season’s hiatus, the popular write-up of watching Dale on the road is back, with reflections on the trip to Aldershot Town.
THEY SCORED IN TIME ALLOWED! - a new feature about Dale goals scored after the fourth official’s board went up. This issue looks at a winning free-kick from September 2008.
KIT COMBOS – Dale wore five different kit combinations in their first eight games of the season. We look at the colours and reveal when it has happened before.
Visitors Southend United get five pages of coverage and there are also previews of our upcoming home and away fixtures.
All this and more will be in Saturday’s The Voice of Spotland, on sale in the Club Shop and around the ground, priced £3.00.
