It first came out as "The Low Down" as it covered Euro 2000 in the Low Countries. The first 3 were the group games, starting with Portugal in Eindhoven.
Due to work commitments (and an upcoming marriage), I had to commute there driving there and then straight home after the game. As a consequence I missed the first 3 and couldn't be arsed to pay the cash required to get them as they often used to sell for £50+.
I also missed the France game (another wedding) and was in a corporate for Mexico at Derby and so the first one that I ever actually picked up myself was the one from Athens the week after Mexico. |

I have the complete set from issue 1. First 4 were The Lowdown. Issue 5 is simply called The Fanzine and then Free Lions from issue 6 ( Mexico) onwards

You are right - I'd forgotten Finland at home was also one!

I might be wrong with this, but I believe the idea came from the then Scotland Travel Club (now the Scotland Supporters Club), who issued "Guidance Notes" to travelling fans, which generally contained a welcome from the manager, do's and dont's, contact details of SFA and Embassy staff, stadium details, maps and latterly brief guides to things to do an see and handy phrases.
The oldest one I have is from the game in Bucharest in 1991, there could be older. 12 page photocopied booklet. They lasted in various guises upto around 2011 when they stopped, probably due to SFA cutbacks.
At one point they even had video guides uploaded online prior to games.
ATAC (Association of Tartan Army Clubs), started to produce their own online guide a few years back which can be printed. _________________ https://www.flickr.com/photos/footballprogrammes/albums |
