4,000 Holes – END OF SEASON 2023/24


Recommended Posts

4,000 Holes is returning in 2023/24 with four new issues planned. Subscriptions are now available.

For just £10 (which includes UK postage), you will receive the next four issues (109 to 112). 

Issue 109 will be a Special Edition as part of the 'fan takeover day' for the Rovers v Girona pre-season friendly on Saturday 29th July. Previous subscribers are already due to receive Issue 109 - therefore there is the option to get a reduction on the subscription for anyone renewing for this season.

Meanwhile Issue 111 is due to be a 'Nineties Special', to follow on from the hugely popular 2000-10 Special and 2010-20 Special from the last couple of years. 

Please use the following link to order:

Please join the applause at 37 minutes on Saturday in tribute to Glenn Entwistle, a huge Rovers fan and regular contributor to the fanzine. Glenn very sadly passed away this month, aged just 37, and our thoughts continue to be with his family and friends. He will be missed massively. 

Meanwhile, enjoy reading ‘Confessions of a Teenage Mascot’ – one of our favourites from the fanzine archive. Glenn’s tremendous personality shines through.

Issue 111 has now been posted out to all subscribers.  It has hopefully been worth the wait - it's the Nineties Special which follows on from previous decades specials. More promotional details to come soon but here's a quick link for anyone who is keen to get an early order in:

The sixth and final part of Ian Herbert's epic ‘Kits Through the Decades’ series is in the brand new Issue 112. There just might be the odd mention of the requirement for a Rovers shirt to have “reversible halves”...
