Rochdale v Braintree Town - Programme

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

TVOS has been overhauled for this season, but still contains many of 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 Tobi Adebayo-Rowling, who recently passed 50 appearances in a Rochdale shirt.

Jimmy McNulty reflects on last Saturday’s win at Wealdstone, after which we have a host of features, including:

STATS OF THE DAY – the numbers that matter a month into the season 

A REAL COUPE – supporter Dave Coupe continues to reflect on his 40 years as a fan

ON THIS DAY – previous games and Dale players connected to 6th September.

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

SCRUTATOR – the longest-serving columnist in football programmes returns with a look at a recent visit to a new ground.

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.

HAT-TRICK HEROES - a new feature that looks at hat-tricks scored by Dale players. This time, the first player to score exactly five goals in a game for the club.

DALE ACTION – a selection of images from the National League Cup tie against Burnley U21 and the league meeting with Altrincham.

TRAVELLER’S TALES – the ever-popular write-up of watching Dale on the road, with reflections on the opening league fixture at Boreham Wood.

DO YOU REMEMBER THAT - a new series that reminisces about unusual moments and incidents that often crop up in Dale-related conversations. This time, a pre-season thrashing that was soon forgotten once the league campaign started.

Visitors Braintree Town get four pages of coverage and we have an exclusive interview with former Dale midfielder Glenn Poole, who also had a spell with Saturday’s opponents in his career.

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