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

TVOS has had a revamp for this season, but still contains many of the features – and new ones – to keep you entertained and informed before, during and after the match!

The programme starts with a Christmas themed front cover image of on loan winger Jili Buyabu, who has been with Dale for the last two months.

Jimmy McNulty reflects on Tuesday’s match against Tamworth, after which we have a host of features, including:

ON THIS DAY – previous games and Dale events on 21st December.

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