TVOS Preview: Rochdale v Ebbsfleet United

Rochdale AFC’s matchday programme – The Voice of Spotland – is back for Saturday’s Vanarama National League fixture against Ebbsfleet United.

TVOS has had a revamp for this season, but still contains many of the features – and new ones – to keep you entertained and informed before, during and after the match!

The programme starts with a front cover image of goalkeeper Sam Waller who will stay with Dale on loan from Burnley until the end of the season.

ON THIS DAY – previous games and Dale events on 8th February.
