We take an early sneak preview of Saturday's matchday programme with a look at some of the features that will no doubt be talked about on Saturday afternoon.

Rochdale AFC’s matchday programme – The Voice of Spotland – is back for Saturday’s league game against Dagenham & Redbridge.

The bumper 60-page issue contains everything you’ve come to expect of the Dale programme:

• There are the serious and not-so-serious articles, together with the usual high quality pictures from club photographer Daniel Youngs, with the Macclesfield game being featured this week.
• Keith Hill gives his thoughts on our draws with Brentford and Morecambe, while there is an exclusive interview with Dale reserve team player Raphale Evans.
• A long-serving player from the 1970s is this week’s Centenary Legend, while we find out who the ‘Queen’s Greatest Hits’ CD belongs to!
• Scrutator looks at how the cost of watching football has rocketed over the years and Traveller’s Tales returns with a report on the game at Darlington.
• We have another Dale-related quiz to test the grey matter and a look back 38 years to when Dale went top of Division Three.
• There is also a one-off article looking back at when Dale had to play in their away kit in the recent home game with Brentford.
• Visitors Dagenham & Redbridge get four pages of coverage, while the ‘100 Years of Rochdale AFC’ article returns, with an in-depth look at the 1968/69 and 1969/70 seasons.

All this and much, much more will be in Saturday’s The Voice of Spotland, on sale in the Club Shop and around the ground, still priced at £2.50.
