4,000 Holes
4,000 Holes is an independent magazine and fanzine created for the supporters of the English football club Blackburn Rovers F.C.. The fanzine was first published in 1989 by the supporters and for the supporters of the club itself.
The fanzine's name comes from The Beatles’ song ‘A Day in the Life’ – the final track on the Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album, for which John Lennon wrote a lyric based on a newspaper story he saw about potholes in the town. The subtitle of the fanzine is "A northern horde of uncouth garb and strange oaths" which is in reference to a Pall Mall Gazette newspaper article in 1884 which referred to the Blackburn fans coming down to London for the 1884 FA Cup Final at the Kennington Oval as "A northern horde of uncouth garb and strange oaths – like a tribe of Sudanese Arabs let loose."
As of September 2017, the fanzine had reached Issue 87.[1]
