Issue 105 of 4,000 Holes is out now. This can be purchased for £1.50 on Kidder Street before the forthcoming home matches or ONLINE VIA THIS LINK. Plenty of great stuff in this, including an extensive interview with Chris Sutton. There are subscription options here.

113 copies were packed and posted to subscribers yesterday, with another 60-odd going out today - hopefully the postal strike doesn't cause too much of a delay.

Mine arrived this morning, cheers 👍

Just arrived. Looking forward as usual to a great read. Thanks guys.

Issue 106 of 4,000 Holes is out now - Derby Countdown! This can be purchased for £1.50 on Kidder Street before the forthcoming home matches or ONLINE VIA THIS LINK. Plenty of great stuff in this, including a deep look into Rovers videotapes from the 1990s, one man's quest to avoid hearing Rovers results (as per the Likely Lads), the next part of Ian Herbert's Rovers kit series (this time moving onto the 1970s) and a 'Cheyenne' Dougan tribute from Fred Cumpstey. Much much more of course! There are subscription options here.

Over 100 copies have already been posted to subscribers - please be patient as there will be a backlog due to Royal Mail strike action.

Catch Scott on Kidder St before today’s game…

[4,000 Holes]

The absence of any Saturday 3pm games means that the next issue of 4,000 Holes won't be out until late January. 'Normal kick-offs' are the optimum time for selling copies at Ewood rather than lunchtimes and night matches.

Subscriptions and back issues are still available here: https://roversfanzine.bigcartel.com/

The special edition Issue 103 – an alternative review of 2010-2020 – proved to be very popular earlier this year and sold out very quickly. Good news! They are now back in stock after an extra print run so if you missed out, please order a copy. Thanks!

Issue 107 is now on sale! Special edition reviewing the 2000-10 era in Rovers history. Unmissable if you loved that decade – loads of niche stories! Over 140 copies have already been posted out so subscribers should be receiving them soon. On sale before the match on Saturday at Ewood too.

"A brilliant publication. I laughed - and cried!"

"Such a bargain. Trying to swot up on my trivia to answer all those random questions from Rovers"

[DeeCee]

Mine arrived yesterday, I've just read it all this morning.  Excellent! 👍

[GHR]

Yep mine landed this morning. Hopefully work don't clock my very elongated lunch break!

[Riversider28]

Received mine this morning, thanks guys. I’m going to save it for my flight to Oz next week, no doubt the Border Force will “check it out” again when I land so they can have yet another free read of our fabulous fanzine.

Read through it at the weekend. Fantastic issue!

Was a really great period to be a Rovers fan (especially as I was 6 years old in 1995), this to me was by far the best time I've had watching Rovers.

One thing (unless I missed it - which is entirely possible) but there was a section on the Andy Todd elbow smash FA Cup semi final but not the "OMG how did you miss that MGP" FA cup semi final? A high point of the decade for me in glorious failure.

Andy Todd's Bishop Brennan was one of my favourite ever pieces to write...

Glenn Entwistle’s piece is inspired…👌

Thank you to everyone who has bought Issue 108 over the Easter weekend - subscribers should also have received their issues in the post, despite the bank holidays.  More copies will be available before the Hull match on Saturday and they're still online below.  Hopefully this front cover won't have expired by then!!  Thanks for supporting the fanzine this season - it's really appreciated by all of the contributors.
