TVOS: Rochdale v Burton
Rochdale AFC’s matchday programme — The Voice of Spotland — is back for Saturday’s League One fixture against Burton Albion.
We start with a front cover image of midfielder Matty Lund, who has returned to the Dale team over the course of the last month after a period out with injury.
Keith Hill welcomes Burton to Spotland and looks back at last weekend’s loss at Barnsley, while Peter Vincenti brings us the dressing room view on that dreadful result at Oakwell.
We continue our new series profiling every goalkeeper to have appeared for the club and take a look at the programme from Dale’s only win over The Brewers.
Action photos appear from the games against Swindon and Colchester, while ‘Travellers Tales’ reports on the trip to Scunthorpe.
‘On This Day’ features a game which led to an unpopular decision being made at Spotland and we move to the outskirts of the town centre for our latest ‘Roads of Rochdale’ feature.
There is the regular half-time quiz to tax your knowledge and Scrutator looks at the Barnsley defeat from a fan’s perspective.
Visitors Burton Albion have eight pages of coverage, which includes a review of their best and worst kits and a numerical look at links between the clubs.
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:
Brave Swans in memorable game at Carrow Road It was a pulsating game to watch and very much one of my favourite away games of the season. The Swans looked an entirely different side to that we saw at Middlesbrough when it is clear a catalyst for commitment was agreed behind the scenes at Swansea City. To a man every player grafted and
wore the shirt with pride. To see the players really acknowledge the Swans support at Carrow Road this afternoon was emotional.
Swansea reject Cullen contract and trigger one year option Liam Cullen has had his request for a new contract dismissed by Swansea City after discussions broke down last week. The lowest paid ‘senior’ player at the club ( he is twenty five) asked for a better contract increasing his £3,500 a week to around £7,000 a week over three years.
Sam Parker hasn’t turned down a new deal, he is willing to negotiate He was a revelation for the Swans for the few games he played this season, and now it emerges Sam Parker has ‘turned down’ a new Swansea City contract. News is thin on the ground, and some of it just incorrect as he looks to involve his representatives in some further negotiations. Plus his current contract runs for two more years.
Swansea City : The vision is clearer, so Jamal Lowe ? There were some worrying moments for the Swans yesterday, on three occasions mistakes from playing out from the back nearly saw the home side score. And is there now a case for Jamal Lowe to be offered a contract at Swansea ?
