ISSUE 100! It's only taken us 30 years to get there! We've put together a memorable 48-page special edition which celebrates this significant milestone and it's still just £1.50. And we're glad to welcome back Barmitzvah Boy for the occasion!!

To order your copy please visit our ONLINE SHOP, or to purchase through eBay CLICK HERE. Season subscriptions are also STILL AVAILABLE HERE for just £9.00 (includes P&P) which gets you all five issues from 97 to 101. If you prefer grabbing a copy in person, the fanzine will be sold outside Ewood before the forthcoming home games from an hour before kick-off (at the bottom of Kidder Street).

Issue 100 includes: Interviews with the creators, All 100 front covers printed and catalogued, LOTS of memories (e.g. 'Flying Over You', 'The Thatchcard' & how we once duped Blackburn Council!), 'I'll Always Be A Rover' (an incredible take on a Billy Joel classic), Colin's Cheeky Bits!, Confessions of a Teenage Mascot, I Support Rovers Because..., From The Terraces, 'Who Were You?' #15 Richard Witschge, 101 Great Rovers Goals #7, Voice From The Valleys, Rovers' Own West Lothian Question, Fantastic Fergie, Just Look At Them Now!, Rovers-themed Crossword…. plus much much more!

Thank you and here's to the next 100... maybe!

It is a great fanzine. Bargain price. I recently got handed a Man City fanzine( i know). Anyway it had a cover price of 4 quid. Yes 4 quid. Did have quite a lot to read i have to say.

Thanks! Yep, many fanzines these days are glossy, practically professional ventures... with the associated cost. 'The Gooner' is £5! They still have excellent content and much to read, but it's truer to the fanzine ethos if it's a bargain price...

I was late to the match yesterday due to a stupid decision to play in a golf comp and then try to get to Ewood before 3pm.
So I've ordered my 4,000 Holes on Ebay for the first time.
i will wait with bated breath to read BB's contribution 😛

Gone like that now. Most people do not bother anymore. If you do want to see what this seasons are like i have noticed a number of past issues are reduced to a quid. Right near the counter in the Roverstore with the player postcards.

Apart from avid collectors I suspect programmes are a redundant source of information to those in connection with the digital age. Anything you need to know about the club can be gleaned from the online app and I would suspect that the customer base for the printed programme with the collectors are probably from the more mature end of our supporter base.

Nicky Marker in the programme. Was the player in the Champions squad that loads of non-Rovers fans would have forgot about. Did not get much of a chance because of the quality we had.
