Pile them up in the spare bedroom

Season 2000-2001 (so far)

Tranmere by David Jennings

• Front cover? Action photo plus logos.

• Value for money? £2 for a thin 40 pages. Decent content? Two pages on WFC, a special 'injuries' column, and the usual manager's column.

• Attractive design? Very organised.

• Best article? Mrs Rogers' piece.

• Overall? Not bad - but too slim.

Wigan by Peter Davies

• Front cover? Blue and glossy.

• Value for money? 50 pages plus insert publication for £2. Fine.

• Decent content? Yes - varied, colourful, topical.

• Attractive design? OK graphically-speaking but very small font size. It also smelt lovely.

• Best article? Paul Jewell's piece (p.6) - written in the aftermath of the 5-1 LDV drubbing. You can imagine the tone.

• Overall? Excellent.

Huddersfield by Peter Davies

• Front cover? Action pic featuring two anonymous players.

• Value for money? £2 for 50 pages. Standard.

• Decent content? All the usual stuff including a none-too-flattering photo of the Racecourse Paddock that looked like it had been taken in about 1382.

• Attractive design? Yes - and a nice big font.

• Best article? Very serious piece on testicular cancer (pp.40-1). A must-read article.

• Overall? High-quality accompaniment to a 5-1 massacre.
