Southend Programme

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

The programme starts with a front cover image of Kairo Mitchell, our hat-trick scorer last Saturday, complete with the matchball from the win at AFC Fylde.

Jimmy McNulty reflects on that victory at Mill Farm, after which we have a host of features, including:

ON THIS DAY – previous games and Dale events on 19th October.

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