Rochdale v Altrincham - Match Programme

Rochdale AFC’s matchday programme – The Voice of Spotland – is back for Saturday’s Enterprise National League fixture against Altrincham.

TVOS has been overhauled for this season, but still contains many its popular 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 summer signing Joe Pritchard, who has been in impressive form since arriving from Oldham Athletic.
