Issue Three.
Launched on 10th January 1998 at home to Watford, when Burnley were bottom of Division Two while the Hornets were running away with the championship. Called the 'Crap Chairman' edition because Frank Teasdale had lied at the AGM only two weeks previously. A particularly hostile editorial was written which called the chairman a liar. Ironically, this was the first (and last) time that the chairman purchased the Sausage. The expected court summons never materialised.
Highlights of the edition:
Article criticising CISA's logo, calling it a "thalidomide athlete with a swollen foot"
Beehole - Arsehole: Why the Beehole End is getting on the editor's tits
Grover's infamous 92 Club article - intimate details of having a dump at White Hart Lane, Ashton Gate and the Shay
Best Quote:
"I find nothing more satisfying than the quiet 'splish, splish' of digested Holland's pie hitting an Ashton Gate water closet bowl; or the electrifying thrill of generous pebble-dashing of the porcelain of Brunton Park's gents. And there can be no greater excitement than leaving your very own calling card in a particularly despised ground - I've done more bricks at Bloomfield Road than they have fans"
92 Club - Grover
