Sneak preview of Oxford progamme

Rochdale AFC’s matchday programme – The Voice of Spotland – is back for Tuesday’s League Two game against Oxford United.

The programme has been maintained at 76 pages this season, but with a host of new features to keep you entertained before, during and after the match.

We start with a front cover image of Dale forward Ashley Grimes, celebrating his penalty that gave Dale a 2-0 lead at Accrington earlier this month.

John Coleman gives his thoughts on Saturday’s game at Plymouth, while in ‘Feeling Blue & Black’ looks at a team from Northern Ireland.

A new style quiz has been compiled to test the grey matter, while Matt Smith’s EXtra Time column analyses what happened to players from a past season.

We have action photos from the games against AFC Wimbledon and Rotherham and Travellers’ Tales reports on the trip to Gillingham.

‘Before They Were Famous’ remembers when a former Oxford player and Rochdale resident appeared on the Spotland turf and we have an exclusive interview with Dale full-back Joe Rafferty.

Visitors Oxford United get eight pages of coverage, which includes memories of their first home game at the Kassam Stadium.

All this and much, much more will be in Tuesday’s The Voice of Spotland, on sale in the Club Shop and around the ground, priced £3.00.
