Rochdale AFC’s matchday programme — The Voice of Spotland — is back for Tuesday’s League One fixture against Oxford United.

The programme is once again a 76-page issue this season, containing plenty of reading to keep fans entertained and informed before, during and after the match.

We start with a front cover image of defender Ryan Delaney, who has now made almost 60 appearances for Dale since signing from Burton in January 2018.

After that, the programme is packed with other features, including:

I WISH I’D GONE — an article looking at Dale games the author didn’t attend, but wished he had! This time it’s a midweek fixture from 1987.

WHAT DALE WORE IN — we pick a season and look at the different kits Dale sported throughout the campaign. In this issue, we look at 2009/10.

NEW FOUND FAN — first-time season-ticket holder Steven Rittey brings us his views on German football.

GOLDEN YEARS — Dale won promotion for the first time in 1968/69 and this series will recall that campaign game-by-game, with personal memories from fan Ian Goodwin, who waxes lyrical about Reg Jenkins.

There is also a completely new-look visitors’ section, as well as columns from Bray-based fan Brian Quigley, Row F resident John Rowe and one of the longest-serving programme contributors in the game, the ever-opinionated Scrutator.

Meanwhile our regular historical pages — ‘On This Day’ and ‘Through The Years’ — have had a makeover, but will still help readers to jog their Dale memory banks.

We also have another of our fantastic cartoons in the centre spread, as drawn by cartoonist David Vandepeer.

Action photos appear from the games against Fleetwood and Barnsley, while Traveller’s Tales is back with a report on the trip to Walsall.

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