Rochdale AFC’s matchday programme – The Voice of Spotland – is back for Saturday’s League One game against Southampton.

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 Joe Widdowson, who has been so consistent and impressive at left-back for Dale this season.

As usual, there are the serious and not-so-serious articles, together with the usual high quality pictures from the Bournemouth and Yeovil games.

Keith Hill gives his thoughts on the win over Sheffield Wednesday, while we have an exclusive interview with Southampton’s former Dale forward Rickie Lambert.

A new style Dale Quiz has been compiled to test the grey matter and Scrutator is back with his views on how Lambert has contributed to Dale’s current healthy position.

Traveller’s Tales reports on the trip to Tranmere, 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 which Dale player was born in the first season of automatic relegation to the Vauxhall Conference.

Visitors Southampton get nine pages of coverage, with My First Time reflecting on a game at St Mary’s Stadium that the author nearly didn’t get to.

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.
