Issue Eight.

This issue was launched on 3rd April at Notts County's Meadow Lane prior to a 0-0 draw. The cover feature a charicature of Stan Ternent as a bell boy in a lift asking the question "Going Down?" This was undoubtedly the hardest ever Sausage to write, with only two people writing everything. The team had recently won its first home game in ten attempts but relegation still looked likely as high-flying Bournemouth, Stoke and Fulham all had to be overcome.
Highlights of the edition:
Thieving Gypsies - why Preston are really getting up the noses of Burnley by stealing all their players
A four-page look at the Hillsborough tragedy from a Clarets perspective
The Bob Lord's Sausage player of the year
Leave of Absence - Grover's personal account of what it's like to get hitched during the football season
Best Quote:
"Let's face it, whether or not you think Paul Crichton is a good keeper, you have to feel sorry for the guy. Like his Red Dwarf namesake, he's got a team full of Arnold Rimmers in front of him."
