Rochdale AFC’s matchday programme — The Voice of Spotland — is back for Saturday’s League One fixture against Crewe Alexandra.

We start with a front cover image of forward James Hooper, another of the club’s Academy graduates who has made a big impression since his senior debut last month.

Keith Hill welcomes Crewe to Spotland and looks back at Saturday’s defeat of Colchester, while Peter Vincenti tells us about how the Christmas period affects his preparation in his regular column.

We continue our new series profiling every goalkeeper to have appeared for the club and take a look at the programme from a game against The Railwaymen on the opening day of the 1983/84 campaign.

Action photos appear from the cup games against Swindon and Morecambe, while ‘Travellers Tales’ reports on the trip to Doncaster.

‘On This Day’ features three of Dale’s 64 Boxing Day fixtures and we have our annual Quiz of the Year to test your knowledge of the club in 2015.

Visitors Crewe Alexandra have eight pages of coverage, which includes a review of their best and worst kits and a numerical look at links between the clubs.

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.
