Piece in the LT on it, which is great publicity... yet they drop this clanger

The 1989 play off final second leg at Palace is probably one of most infamous ever games!

Oops! Glad to say the play-off final is correctly referenced in our issue...

That afternoon in South London was probably the first time since 7th May 1960 that my heart was broken.

Life seemed so unfair!

Thank you to everyone who bought a copy of Issue 100 at the match yesterday. Including those posted out, 330 copies have been sold already which is absolutely superb for the first weekend. Feedback always welcomed!

More will be available to purchase on Kidder Street before the next couple of home games and they're still online here too.

And an enjoyable read it is too. I would recommend it to anybody who follows Rovers and only £1.50.

Best ever issue IMHO - especially catching up with the original founders. It spans the generations really well.

Excellent read that arrived in the frozen tundra in timely fashion. 
 

I was a bit piss poor at the Just Look at Them Now Quiz, getting just one of them! Although #2 is clearly a young Lionel Jeffreys, he of The Railway Children and Two-Way Stretch.

I think one  three and four may be Alan Miller David may and graham Fenton. No idea about number two. Donis maybe

Thanks for ordering from over there! And cheers for the feedback - never sure how easy or hard these quizzes have been - maybe it'll be SLIGHTLY easier next time. We'll see!

Never mind those pictures what about the Crossword! Some difficult questions there! 
Well done on this issue though; a fabulous read. Great addition to my collection of Rovers literature!

Thank you, it means a lot. Really proud of this issue. Crossword possibly trickier than normal too - got to give a challenge to those who have crazy encyclopedic knowledge of the most obscure Rovers players out there!?

[windymiller7]

Not got the answers - been late for the last couple of games so missed out on buying a copy -

I'd say (with a lot of help from the initials) Lars Bohinen, Zurab, (don't know - yet), and Graham Fenton
