TVOS Preview - Rochdale v Gateshead

Rochdale AFC’s matchday programme – The Voice of Spotland – is back for Wednesday’s Enterprise National League fixture against Gateshead.

TVOS has been overhauled for this season, but still contains many of its popular 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 summer signing Liam Humbles, who spent the second half of last season with Wednesday’s visitors.

Jimmy McNulty reflects on Saturday’s win over Altrincham, after which we have a host of features, including:

STATS OF THE DAY – the numbers that matter midway through the second week of the season

A REAL COUPE – supporter Dave Coupe continues to reflect on his 40 years as a fan

ON THIS DAY – previous games and Dale players connected to 20th August.

HALF-TIME QUIZ – an updated quiz page that tests your Dale and general footballing knowledge.

SCRUTATOR – the longest-serving columnist in football programmes returns with a look at the summer’s football offerings.

ACROSS THE WATER – Bray-based Dale fan Brian Quigley is back with his take on general football matters.

THROUGH THE YEARS – what Dale were doing at this time 5, 10, 20, 30, 40 & 50 Years Ago.

HAT-TRICK HEROES - a new feature that looks at hat-tricks scored by Dale players. This time, the first Dale player to score at least four goals in a game.

DALE ACTION – a selection of images from the pre-season friendlies against Chorley and Barrow.

TRAVELLER’S TALES – the ever-popular write-up of watching Dale on the road, with reflections on the game at Chorley.

DO YOU REMEMBER THAT - a new series that reminisces about unusual moments and incidents that often crop up in Dale-related conversations. This time, an early red card for Keith Hill.

Visitors Gateshead get five pages of coverage, including a fantasy 5-a-side team made up of players who appeared for both clubs.

All this and much more will be in Wednesday’s The Voice of Spotland, on sale in the Club Shop and around the ground, priced £3.00.
