With the new football season underway there is also a new edition of the excellent Rovers Fanzine ‘Give Us an R’ available to purchase and as ever it is well worth a read for any keen Rovers fan who likes to read differing views on the current fortunes of Rovers.

The front cover of the first issue of the new season features the man that many think will be the key figure for Rovers this season in the shape of Andy Robinson, taken during the pre-season friendly game away at Colwyn Bay a few weeks ago.  The inside of the front cover features some pictures from the away games at Hartlepool and Bournemouth at the back end of last season.

After the usual editorial piece from ‘The Doctor’ covering pre-season matches, Vinny Dantas and a brief word about the Mersey Masters, the first of four ‘Away Days’ articles covers the visit to Sheffield Wednesday.  Despite Rovers losing that game 4-0 the write-up is the funniest part of this edition of the Fanzine!  Other away games covered are those at Bournemouth, Hartlepool and Leyton Orient.

There is an interesting feature from Tony Coombes about old away grounds and away sections that have become history as time has moved on whilst there is also the usual Anorak Quiz asking you to identify five football grounds from the pictures shown.

Regular columnists Deadly Submarine and ‘The Jones Journal’ are joined by Mark Ridgway’s ‘Ridgway Report’ whilst a feature showing the figures of Tranmere’s away support last season as well as the visiting support at Prenton Park whilst there is also a feature on away support in League One in general.

On the inside back cover, the ‘Yesterday's Heroes'  features a full colour photo of Shaun Teale to round off another interesting issue of ‘Give Us an R’.

Priced at just £2.00, Give Us an R is is well worth a read and can be purchased at all Rovers games.  Dave can be found selling the mag outside the visitor's turnstiles at all away games and for home games is usually standing on the patch of wasteground alongside the entrance to the Main Club Car Park (under the sign advertising the next three home matches at Prenton Park) so if you have never purchase it before why not give it a try?

Dave will be selling the latest issue at the three upcoming away games at Doncaster, Leyton Orient and Notts County.
