Rochdale AFC’s matchday programme — The Voice of Spotland — is back for Saturday’s Sky Bet League Two fixture against Northampton Town.
The programme took a break during the behind closed doors 2020/21 campaign, but has returned this season with 76 jam-packed pages to keep readers completely informed and entertained.
TVOS starts with a front cover image of forward Tahvon Campbell, who scored his first goal for the club to earn Dale a point in the recent 3-3 home draw with Harrogate Town.
Manager Robbie Stockdale reflects on Tuesday’s draw with Port Vale, while Countdown to Kick-Off looks at some of the attendances being enjoyed by clubs in the National League.
After that we have a host of features, including:
SHIRT NUMBERS, HEAVEN & HELL — A feature looking at players who wore shirt numbers that didn’t suit their position in 2005/06
COVER STAR — Looking at when a former Dale player appeared on the front cover of another club’s programme. This time it’s Michael Rose, who played a crucial role in Dale’s 2013/14 promotion.
