Rochdale AFC’s matchday programme — The Voice of Spotland — is back for Wednesday’s Sky Bet League Two fixture against Port Vale.

Reduced to 56 pages due to early printing deadlines, TVOS starts with a front cover image of Dale captain Eoghan O’Connell.

Manager Robbie Stockdale looks back at his time with the club since being appointed in July and after that we have a host of features, including:

NOT HIM AGAIN — The most prominent players in the previous 59 meetings between Dale and Port Vale

ON THIS DAY — What were Dale doing in the past on 29th December?

QUIZ OF THE YEAR — What can you remember about Dale in 2021?

100 YEARS IN THE FOOTBALL LEAGUE — Part 10 of a comprehensive feature looking back at Dale’s debut season in the Football League 100 years ago.

DALES OF THE UNEXPECTED — A tale about when a substituted player found the door to the dressing room locked

We have the popular opinion column from Scrutator as well as action photos from the games against Leyton Orient and Notts County (away).

Visitors Port Vale get six pages of coverage and there are previews of forthcoming home and away matches.

All this and much, much more will be in Wednesday’s The Voice of Spotland, on sale in the Club Shop and around the ground, priced £2.00.
