Sneak preview of Wycombe programme
Rochdale AFC’s matchday programme – The Voice of Spotland – is back for Saturday’s League One match against Wycombe Wanderers.
The programme has been maintained at 76 pages this season, but with a host of new features to keep you entertained before, during and after the match.
We start with a front cover image of on-loan forward Matthew Barnes-Homer, who had a short spell with Wycombe earlier in his career.
Manager Steve Eyre looks back at the defeat at Notts County, while ‘Starter For Ten’ remembers games where Dale have managed to wrap up the points unusually early.
A new style Dale Quiz has been compiled to test the grey matter, while ‘Kit Parade’ goes back to the early-1990s.
We have action photos from the game against Hartlepool, while Lost Grounds looks at a venue Dale last played on in the 1960s.
Sarah Lomas and Matt Turner pen their next articles for the programme and we have an exclusive interview with Dale physio Andy Thorpe, who tells us whether or not he was tempted to follow Hillcroft to Barnsley.
Visitors Wycombe Wanderers get eight pages of coverage, in which we reveal a past link between one of their players and a member of the Dale squad.
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.
What to read next:
Southampton At Middlesbrough The VerdictThere is absolutely no way to dress this up other than this was a game that for a long period we controlled and then we collapsed into a disorganised rabble, to throw the game away in 15 second half minutes.
Southampton At Middlesbrough The PreviewSaints have taken just 3 points from their last 5 games in the Championship, Boro themselves are struggling and are on a poor run that has seen them drop out of the automatic promotions spots. Can Tonda turn the tide for Southampton.
Southampton V Millwall The VerdictTonda Eckert rang the changes for this game, but it made little difference as the key 3 man central defence remained unchanged, in the end a draw was a fair result, but of not much help for Saints.
Southampton V Millwall In PicturesA quick pictorial view of some of the game Saints have played against Millwall in the past 20 years or so, some familiar face in there, what are your memories of the likes of Jo Tessem, Francis Benali and Graziano Pelle
Southampton V Millwall The PreviewSaints start the year with a home game against the team who inflicted the first defeat of Tonda Eckert's tenure as manager, we need to show that we have learned the lessons from that game and others.
Southampton Set to Take Keeper On Loan Earlier this season it was reported that Saints were looking at Bayern Munich keeper Daniel Peretz, currently on loan at HSV Hamburg. Now these rumours are re surfacing, but is Perez really an upgrade on Gavin Bazunu.
