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

We start with a front cover image of midfielder Toumani Diagouraga, who had a brief loan spell with Saturday’s opponents early in his career, before moving on to manager Jim Bentley’s comments on the recent Stevenage and Grimsby games.

After that we have a host of features, including:

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 game against Swindon from 40 years ago that featured a teenage hat-trick

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

ON THIS DAY — previous games and Dale events on 18th March

GROUND FORCE — the grounds that have played a prominent role in the career of Femi Seriki

FANTASY 5-A-SIDE TEAM — 5 players Toby Mullarkey would love to manage in his 5-a-side team
