Rochdale AFC’s matchday programme – The Voice of Spotland – is back for Saturday’s Vanarama National League fixture against Eastleigh.

TVOS has had a revamp for this season, but still contains many of the 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 Aidan Barlow, who spent last season with Saturday’s opponents.

Jimmy McNulty looks back on the Spennymoor Town and Sutton United games, after which we have a host of features, including:

ON THIS DAY – previous games and Dale events on 12th April.

HALF-TIME QUIZ – an updated quiz page that tests your Dale and general footballing knowledge.

OVERSEAS DALE – a new series looking at Dale players who were born away from these shores. This time, it’s a cultured French midfielder.

SCRUTATOR – the longest-serving columnist in football programmes looks at how someone’s persona seems to change when they enter a football ground.

ACROSS THE WATER – Bray-based Dale fan Brian Quigley is back with his look at general football matters.

THROUGH THE YEARS – what Dale were doing at this time 10, 20, 30, 40 & 50 Years Ago.

DALE ACTION – a selection of images from the games against Altrincham, Oldham and Boston.

TRAVELLER’S TALES – after a season’s hiatus, the popular write-up of watching Dale on the road is back, with reflections on the trip to Maidenhead.

THEY SCORED IN TIME ALLOWED! - a feature about Dale goals scored after the fourth official’s board went up. This issue looks at a goal scored in a local derby in a promotion-winning season.

Visitors Eastleigh get five pages of coverage and there are previews of our upcoming fixtures.

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