Rochdale AFC’s matchday programme — The Voice of Spotland — is back for Tuesday’s League One fixture against Oldham Athletic.
The programme is once again a 76-page issue this season, containing plenty of reading to keep fans entertained and informed before, during and after the match.
We start with a front cover image of forward Ian Henderson, who recently became the club’s third all-time highest goalscorer in league football.
There is a centre spread poster of Ian for our younger supporters to collect, as well as a look at how his personal likes compare to those of another Dale striker from the 1990s in our ‘Decades Apart’ feature.
In our comprehensive visitors’ section, contributors David Chaffey and Dean Smith each bring us a different aspect of Oldham’s current form and news, which is in addition to the usual statistical round-up of the teams’ meetings down the years.
John Rowe looks at the forthcoming World Cup in Russia, while Scrutator discusses how psychology plays a big part in sport.
‘Kit Cupboard’ reflects on what was being worn in League Two in 2012/13 and our usual quiz and puzzle pages, that can be attempted by supporters of both clubs, appear once more.
Regular historical features — ‘On This Day’ and ‘Through The Years’ — continue to look at games and events from Dale’s past and Richard Wild tells readers all about one of his favourite away wins.
Action photos appear from the games against Southend and Rotherham, while Traveller’s Tales reports on that trip to South Yorkshire.
Visitors Oldham Athletic get nine pages of coverage, which includes a quiz-based article on a previous meeting between the clubs.
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.
