Rochdale AFC’s matchday programme — The Voice of Spotland — is back for Sunday’s Emirates FA Cup first round tie against Notts County.

The programme is a reduced 56-page issue, but still contains plenty to keep readers informed and entertained before, during and after the on-field action.

TVOS starts with the traditional front cover image of the FA Cup trophy that all clubs who enter the competition are striving to win this season.

After that we have a host of features, including:

A KIT OF A SURPRISE — Our kit expert returns to look at outfits previously worn by The Magpies in the FA Cup

FA CUP HISTORY — Dale are facing a National League side in the first round for the sixth consecutive season and this article looks back at the others.

ON THIS DAY — What were Dale doing in the past on 7th November?

CROWDED HOUSE — A historical feature about Spotland’s record crowd, which achieved at our last home FA Cup tie against Notts County.

DALES OF THE UNEXPECTED — A story about a former manager and his good cup runs…

We have our regular opinion columns from Brian Quigley and Scrutator and previews of forthcoming home and away fixtures.

Visitors Notts County get six pages of coverage, including a look back at the teams’ previous meetings and prevalent players in those games, while action photos appear from Dale’s matches against Mansfield and Burnley.

All this and much, much more will be in Sunday’s The Voice of Spotland, on sale in the Club Shop and around the ground, priced £2.00.
