Rochdale AFC’s matchday programme – The Voice of Spotland – is back for Saturday’s Enterprise National League fixture against Brackley 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 Connor McBride, who scored Dale’s goal in the return fixture at Brackley earlier in the season.

Jimmy McNulty reflects on the first half of the season, after which we have a host of features, including:

STATS OF THE DAY – the numbers that matter ahead of the first fixture of 2026.

A REAL COUPE – supporter Dave Coupe continues to reflect on his 40 years as a fan.

ON THIS DAY – previous games and Dale players connected to 3rd January.

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

SCRUTATOR – the longest-serving columnist in football programmes returns to talk about the temporary moving of our home games to Accrington Stanley.

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

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

HAT-TRICK HEROES - a new feature that looks at hat-tricks scored by Dale players. This time, Terry Melling, with the team’s second hat-trick in consecutive games in the 1968/69 promotion season.

DALE ACTION – a selection of images from the games against Aldershot Town, Tamworth and Everton U21.

TRAVELLER’S TALES – the ever-popular write-up of watching Dale on the road, with reflections on the trip to Tamworth.

DO YOU REMEMBER THAT - a new series that reminisces about unusual moments and incidents that often crop up in Dale-related conversations. This time, when Dale’s New Year’s Day home fixture was abandoned at half-time.

Visitors Brackley Town get five pages of coverage, which includes a look at the three players who have appeared for both clubs and something about an important apostrophe!

All this and much more will be in Saturday’s The Voice of Spotland, on sale in the Club Shop at the Crown Oil Arena and at the Wham Stadium on the day of the game, priced £3.00.
