Forest Green Rovers

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

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 striker Devante Rodney, who began the campaign with a brace of goals in the opening day 3-0 win at Boston United.

Jimmy McNulty reflects on the midweek game at York City, after which we have a host of features, including:

ON THIS DAY – previous games and Dale events on 24th August.

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 young winger who was born in Germany.

SCRUTATOR – the longest-serving columnist in football programmes returns with his take on changing ends for home games.

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 5, 10, 20, 30, 40 & 50 Years Ago.

DALE ACTION – a selection of images from the pre-season friendlies against Carlisle United and Avro.

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

THEY SCORED IN TIME ALLOWED! -  a new feature about crucial Dale goals scored after the fourth official’s board went up. This issue looks at an equaliser from 24 years ago.

Visitors Forest Green Rovers get five pages of coverage and there are also previews of our upcoming home and away fixtures.

All this and more will be in Saturday’s The Voice of Spotland, priced £3.00.
