TVOS Preview - Rochdale v FC Halifax Town

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

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 defender Liam Hogan, who played 109 league games for Wednesday’s visitors earlier in his career.

Jimmy McNulty looks back at Saturday’s trip to Carlisle, after which we have a host of features, including:
