Rochdale AFC’s matchday programme – The Voice of Spotland – is back for Monday’s Enterprise National League fixture against Sutton United.
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 midfielder Ryan East, who is fast approaching his 100th appearance in a Dale shirt.
Jimmy McNulty reflects on the start to the season, after which we have a host of features, including:
STATS OF THE DAY – the numbers that matter as Dale play at home on August Bank Holiday Monday for the first time since 2001
A REAL COUPE – supporter Dave Coupe continues to reflect on his 40 years as a fan
