Rochdale AFC’s matchday programme — The Voice of Spotland — is back for this week’s friendly matches against Hull City and Middlesbrough.

The reduced 16-page programme starts with a front cover image of Joe Thompson and his daughter following the dramatic and successful conclusion to last season.

Manager Keith Hill looks at pre-season so far, while we have the latest news from the Club Shop courtesy of Retail Manager, David Smith-Markl.

We have our regular quiz page to get you thinking, as well as previews of the away trips to Tranmere, FC United and Burton and the first home game of the new season against Peterborough.

Meanwhile, both Hull City and Middlesbrough get two pages of coverage and we have a round-up of action photos from the end of last season, as well as this term’s opening friendly at Stalybridge.

All this will be in the pre-season edition of The Voice of Spotland, on sale in the Club Shop and around the ground.
