The 'Shire
Tomorrow's opponents East Stirlingshire this week signed former Rovers stalwart Jordan Smith who had been with Arbroath on a short term contract earlier in the season. Smith, Iain Diack and Ally Graham are the familiar faces to Cliftonhill regulars who'll be donning black and white at Firs Park tomorrow.

David Lyttle Dies
Former Rovers director and match secretary David "Davie" Lyttle has died. Davie was involved with Rovers for many years leaving the board when the old guard were ousted around 9 years ago. He declined the invitation to stay on as match secretary at least partly due to ill health.

We shall let you know funeral arrangements as soon as known.

Berwick Win
Berwick Rangers made it 7 from 7 league matches at Cliftonhill this afternoon when they won 2-0, but the league leaders didn't find it easy.

The Number's Up
The Albion Rovers Supporters' Trust today announces it is setting up a directory enquiries service. With the launch expected in late October the service shall cost 40p per call (costs from mobiles and non-BT lines may vary) with a substantial part of that amount going to the trust. The service provides one search per call and the costs compare favourably with many providers!

The number when it is operative shall be 118821 - or perhaps easier to remember 1 - 1882 - 1, the more astute of fans will have noticed that the club's year of foundation 1882 forms the middle section of the number.

Watch this space for the launch date!

Elgin
Rovers took the long journey north to Elgin today and drew 2 - 2 in a match they led twice. There were some particularly good performances from Messrs. Lennon (obviously), Friel, Donachy and Wilson. Despite failing to secure the 3 points Rovers climbed 2 places to 6th in the table.

One worry was Tommy Lennox hobbling off in 10 minutes after a virtual assault by Dempsie who wasn't even booked!

Quiz
A good night was had by all at the Albion Rovers/Airdrie United Supporters Trusts quiz night held at Cliftonhill yesterday. Due to a late night last night and a long trip to Elgin today and work tomorrow a report of this shall be up tomorrow along with a pic or 2. A video of a certain person at the following karaoke may also be on the site.

Suffice it to say for now the quiz was won by a team with only 3 members (the rest had 5 or 6) them all being Rovers trust committee members including a webmaster, treasurer and co-editor of the programme who shall remain nameless till tomorrow anyway!

Karaoke Report
The karaoke was held at Cliftonhill on Friday. There was a turnout of 20 or so, plus a group of the players.  The players didn't stay long, as they had a bounce game the following morning, but nearly everyone else stuck around for a while - manager Chapman and his son included.

Most people enjoyed themselves - Jimmy Lawson was even seen to smile at one point.  Peter McClurg did give us a song, and chairman/barman Frank Meade did an Elvis impersonation that had to be seen to be believed - however, his vice chairman wasn't so forthcoming.  Need to sing next time, Davie!!

Congrats to Chick for a good night and an excellent buffet - curry, chilli, lasangne, salad and so on.  What more could you want?  I encourage all of you to come along to future events.

Thanks to David Herd for the report.

Quiz
A reminder that the next event shall be held on Friday 16th at Cliftonhill. Our supporters trust has arranged a quiz with 5 teams of 5 people with an entry charge of £10 per team to go head to head with 5 teams from Airdrie United's supporters trust. A warning to those of a sensitive constitution Rovers are at Elgin the following day!
