"an alleged Heilsbringer named Bill Archer"
"nevertheless found not only a suitable leotard sponsor"
"a nearly fairy taleful victory series down, which led it from third into the first division, the class directly underneath the Prime Minister League"
""if they no new stadium gotten, will fight them each year for their life", say Danny Wilson, manager of Bristol town center"
Magnificent translation! That made me laugh for ages.

I have absolutely pissed myself reading that - I've seen a few of those before, but that one was absolutely priceless and should definitely be NSC Gold!
Worth saying a bit about the Germans' effort for Tom Hark. My mates at St.Pauli (if you are ever in Hamburg and like the idea of loads of beer on a proper terrace in the middle of about 6000 anti fascist punks and skinheads you will love it!) ordered 20 copies for the club shop and plastered it all over their message boards. Sportfreunde Siegen had at least another 10 copies (Jorg, one of their fans' organisers, has come to about 5 Albion games with me and was at Cardiff) Jorg and Gerd from St Pauli got it on about 8 national football message boards and some of the others who came to Fans United spread it around their club boards too. I reckon they shifted 100 or so at least over there. And the response to the record has been fantastic. The St Pauli ska skins LOVE Sussex By The Sea!
Elsewhere outside the UK:
From my mailing list there have been at least 10 orders from the US (mostly ska fans who are going to play it/get it played on their community radio and at their parties/gigs) a regional DJ from Melbourne is desperatly waiting for Amazon to deliver so he can play it on his show and I've had emails from people who've ordered from Holland, Italy, the Basque Country and Austria. That's just the ones I know about.
All in all, with Wrexham, AFC Wimbledon (who've been great!) the Germans, the Otway fans and my mailing list I reckon somewhere between 500 and 1000 copies have been sold to people outside our fan base.....And a big thanks to every one of them, from all of us.

...which means that an awful lot of our fans should be shame-faced for not buying at least one copy each.
Still, not going to go off on one about it-the fact that those of us who did buy it have created a lot of empty #17 racks around the country
Priceless
A bunch of football supporters outsmarted the mega-rich record industry (with a little help from within their ranks)
You couldn't make it up.....and the planning and timing was precision itself. I'm still smiling about it all-can't imagine how the guys who put it together must still be feeling!

Just got back in from a very wet Guildford town centre.
Copies of Tom Hark are available in HMV in the Friary at the correct number 17 position. So those Guildford based Seagulls fans (or fans of other clubs for that matter) who don't yet have a copy get yourselves down there quickly!
