Braintree Programme

Rochdale AFC’s matchday programme – The Voice of Spotland – Vanarama National League fixture against Braintree Town.

The programme starts with a front cover image of goalkeeper David Robson, who had appeared in all of September’s fixtures before Tuesday’s trip to Hartlepool.

ON THIS DAY – previous games and Dale events on 28th September.

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