Rochdale v Crawley Town - Programme

Rochdale AFC’s matchday programme – The Voice of Spotland – is back for Saturday’s Sky Bet League Two game against Crawley Town.

TVOS has been completely revamped and redesigned 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 summer recruit Zain Silcott-Duberry, who has been impressive on the wing since joining Dale at the end of July.

Ian Watson delivers his first set of programme notes, after which we have a host of features, including:

STATS OF THE DAY – the numbers that matter in the first week of the season.

SCRUTATOR – the longest-serving columnist in football programmes returns with reflections on the dramatic end to last season.

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

AFTER THEY WERE FAMOUS – a new feature which looks at players who appeared at Spotland after they had starred at the top levels of the game.

ON THIS DAY – previous games and Dale players connected to 22nd August.

ACROSS THE WATER – Bray-based Dale fan Brian Quigley is back with his take on general football matters.

DALE ACTION – a selection of images from the pre-season friendlies against FC United and Al-Rayyan SC.

I’LL BE YOUR SUBSTITUTE – a new article focusing on Dale substitutes, their records and impacts, together with other notable substitute trivia.
