Sneak preview of Hartlepool programme
Rochdale AFC’s matchday programme – The Voice of Spotland – is back for Saturday’s League One game against Hartlepool United.
The programme has been increased to 76 pages this season, but with the same number of advert pages as last year, meaning there is even more to keep you entertained before, during and after the match.
We start with a front cover image of summer signing Brian Barry-Murphy, who had a spell with Hartlepool earlier in his career.
As usual, there are the serious and not-so-serious articles, together with the usual high quality pictures from the Bolton and Bury games by photographer Daniel Youngs.
Keith Hill gives his thoughts on the season ahead, while we pay a special tribute to former Dale legend Stan Milburn, who sadly passed away last week.
A new style Dale Quiz has been compiled to test the grey matter Scrutator is back with his views on sporting icons.
Traveller’s Tales reports on the trip to Fleetwood, while there are in-depth previews of forthcoming home and away fixtures.
Of course, there are many new features, including The Day I Was Born, where we look back at what was happening when members of the Dale squad came into the world.
Visitors Hartlepool get nine pages of coverage, with My First Time reflecting on a visit to Victoria Park when Dale ran out in red shirts!
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, priced £3.00.
What to read next:
Swansea City : Go for number one, save time looking for second best We had had a good look around the latest betting on the next Swansea City manager. Basically the bookies in this market are generally far off the mark when it comes to Swansea betting. They wheel out a few anomalies like Russell Martin who would never return to the club and prey on fans hope more than sense.
Luke Williams : The Swans just need to stop making the same old cheap mistakesDespite the wait - when it became apparent that the new Swansea investment team pretty much had enough of Luke Williams, the Swans head coach, the inevitable happened. A brief wait had to be taken when one of the Directors was dealing with a family funeral, it soon turned to a green light yesterday afternoon after a decision was made on Sunday.
Stoke City v Swansea City : Team News The Swans take on the Potters in Staffordshire this afternoon. Our match day build up links are below and we will get the teams online as soon as we can. Kick off is 3Pm.
Swansea City : Luke puts his foot in it again ! Swansea City seem to have recruited a smooth operator in Richard Montague. He is now at the club in an official capacity. So, what does he bring and what are his strengths ? After all he assembled a Notts County squad which at their level gave the club and its supporters something to be really proud of.
The crazy spiral the Swans find themselves in : Stoke City pre matchSwansea City will be travelling north from west Wales today in preparation for tomorrow afternoon’s away fixture against Stoke City. It’s a must win for both sides who are quite frankly dreadful over their past ten games, so much so they are both right in the relegation mix.
