If you think modern football is rubbish.......

[xenophon]

.....all seater stadiums, over zealous stewards, ridiculous prices, overpaid prima donna players, Sky Sports dictating kick offs, Soccer bloody AM, then there is a new national fanzine out now just for you:

You'll notice that's the Goldstone Ground on the very first cover, there's also a 1500 word article about how BHAFC are bucking the trend and not being part of the problem, but an example of a healthy compromise between the big money men and the little guys - us, the fans. After all, Albion fans wrote the rulebook on how to take on football's bad guys, why shouldn't we be on the cover and in the writing?

A write up about it here:

No, just online for now, it's not a BHAFC fanzine, even though there is Albion content in there. Some shops oop north will be stocking it initially to see if demand is high enough to sell outside of the internet. It's still an old-fashioned paper fanzine, that will be delivered to your address after buying it online.

TSLR is rightly the only fanzine on sale at Falmer, this is not a rival to the magnificent effort that is TSLR. There are articles from Cardiff, Blackburn, AFC Wimbledon etc, it really is a good read and well written (apart from maybe the Albion piece, I'm waiting to get slated for getting dates/matches/scores/events wrong, but hey ho)

So again, the only place to buy issue 1 is here

I hate standing at football matches.

Great read.

 

[Sergei's Celebration]

I love modern football...plastic beer, plastic fans, plastic all seater stadiums, plastic presenters on a feed the brain dead, rolling news channel on a plastic network. I must have my Premiership fix while i ignore the lower leagues, the cup, the evil chairman, the law breaking manager and the rising debt that will strangle the club. I believe the 'we are not Portsmouth or Rangers, we are different' attitude, it must be true our Head of Club Management Strategic Football Operations Implementation Director told us (well not all of us, the selected 50 fans that were invited to not ask difficult questions).

What's not to like?

Got mine delivered yesterday - great read. Liked the condensed write up about Albion's plight, and the warning shot across the bows of the misplaced banner from the minority of Ipswich fans last year
