Rochdale AFC’s matchday programme — The Voice of Spotland — is back for Saturday’s League Two fixture against Salford City.

The new-look TVOS starts with a front cover image of our new manager Jim Bentley, who is taking charge of his first home game at the weekend.

Jim pens an extensive first manager’s notes outlining his aims and ambitions, after which we have a host of features, including:

FANTASY 5-A-SIDE TEAM — Tyrese Sinclair picks the best 5-a-side team he would love to manage.

GROUND FORCE — ten grounds that figured prominently in the playing career of Cameron John

THROUGH THE YEARS — what were Dale doing at this time 5, 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 years ago?

BEYOND THE HEADLINE — looking in detail at a pre-season friendly from almost 30 years ago and what else was happening in football and the world at that time.

THE KIT CORNER — looking at two classic kits worn by Saturday’s opponents.

ON THIS DAY — previous games and Dale events on 10th September.

Traveller’s Tales reports on the trip to Stevenage, while our regular Half-Time Quiz page will get you scratching your heads.

Visitors Salford City get seven pages of coverage, which includes remembering two goalkeepers who appeared for both clubs.

Charlotte and Isabelle bring us the female perspective in ‘The Dale Way’ for what is the club’s dedicated #HerGameToo fixture, while action photos appear from the games against Burton and Grimsby.

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