TVOS Preview: Rochdale v Scunthorpe United

Rochdale AFC’s matchday programme — The Voice of Spotland — is back for Saturday’s League Two fixture against Scunthorpe United.

The programme took a break during the Behind Closed Doors 2020/21 campaign, but returns on Saturday with 76 jam-packed pages to keep readers completely informed and entertained.

The new-look TVOS starts with a front cover image of manager Robbie Stockdale, who has made a big impression in his first month in the role.

Robbie pens his first notes for the programme, and we also have a host of new features, including:

SHIRT NUMBERS, HEAVEN & HELL — a feature looking at players who did and some who didn’t look right in a particular shirt number

DALES OF THE UNEXPECTED — unusual or whacky stories from the annals of the football club

NOT HIM AGAIN — which players appeared and scored in this fixture more than any others?

THROUGH THE YEARS — what were Dale doing 5, 10, 20, 30, 40 & 50 Years Ago?

ON THIS DAY — can you remember some of the other games played on 14th August?

We have a completely new-look visitors’ section, as well as a League Two round-up and opinion columns from the likes of John Rowe, Brian Quigley and, of course, Scrutator.

Action photos appear from the friendlies against Luton and Fleetwood, while we also have our regular quiz and a couple of informative one-off articles to set fans up for the new season.

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.
