SATURDAY 25TH AUGUST 2018 | HAMPDEN PARK | KICK-OFF 3PM QUEEN’S PARK v ALBION ROVERS like follow subscribe I would like to welcome John Brogan and everyone connected with Albion Rovers. Both teams will be looking to put last week behind them and secure 3 points this weekend. Last weekend against Annan was disapointing after our first half perfomance. A 10 minute spell which we must learn from. The squad is challenged at the moment with injuries and player availablity. I would like to take this opportunity to welcome a new coach to my team. Mark Roberts joins us from Hurlford United FC.

That wee booklet that is becoming less and less part of the Saturday “match day experience” – how I Football went through its fanzine phase and that was glorious; hate that phrase – as clubs find fewer customers to buy, and fewer contributors simply glorious. All of a sudden, you could read entertaining to produce. I have thousands of them in approximately 30 large white archive and well-written articles written by passionate fans from Man Yoo to Bradford boxes, piled against a white-painted wall in one of my bedrooms. White against City to Arthurlie. It was one of fitba’s golden eras as far as I was concerned and white to camouflage the paperfest to look less like the utter mess that it is. I have hunners of fanzines too. I’ll never throw them out. But, sadly, that’s what we had to do with the huge stock of programmes that the souvenir shop Let me quickly explain that although I live on my own as nobody loves me (and had amassed over the years when the old portakabins came down.
