Sneak preview of Plymouth programme

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

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 midfielder Joe Thompson, who has now made over 100 appearances for the club having come through the ranks at Spotland.

As usual, there are the serious and not-so-serious articles, together with the usual high quality pictures from the Colchester and Birmingham games by photographer Daniel Youngs and also with the assistance of Birmingham City FC.

Keith Hill gives his thoughts on the draw at MK Dons and our current league placing, while we find some more people called Alan Goodall in ‘Google’.

A new style Dale Quiz has been compiled to test the grey matter, while Scrutator is back with his views on Dale’s Chairmanship.

Traveller’s Tales reports on the trip to Birmingham, 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 what was happening when Dale’s on-loan midfielder Andrew Tutte came into the world.

Visitors Plymouth get nine pages of coverage, with My First Time reflecting on a visit to Home Park for a game against Barnet!

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.
