Randon Question re Gulls Eye

[Mellor 3 Ward 4]

Tim wrote this in August 2008.

I'm still looking to have a fanzine section in www.seagullsprogrammes.co.uk but still scanning actual programmes at the moment

--------------------------------------------

Here's a list of fanzines that we produced for the Collectors' and Historians' Newsletter in Spring 2004. I've updated it to include recent issues (and in the hope and expectation that The Seagull Love Review is a regular issue):

Regular fanzines
And Smith Must Score – 16 A4 numbered issues August 1988 to May 1991. Nos.1–14 numbered on pp2–3, no.15 on p18, n16 on p20.

Nos. 27–29 appeared as Gull’s Ear (see below). No.84 had main title “Swiz”. 1 special edition (not numbered) appeared September 27th 1989 between nos.16 and 17. The apostrophe in the title first appeared on issue 30. Blue covers first appeared on issue 40.

Mose A Tribute! – 1 A5 issue produced by Gulls Eye team in conjunction with Graham Moseley’s testimonial in April 1990

Flying Eye – 1 A4 magazine by Gulls Eye team published August 2001


One note to the above: Keep the Faith - I only have up to the April 2002 issue ("Last ever in Division Two") and am not now certain that there were editions after that. I'm not sure Ben knows either now! But if anyone can tell me for sure that there are or aren't I'd be grateful.


The Collectors' and Historians' Society has copies of all the above which it archives for posterity EXCEPT some editions of Nine-Nil. We have issue nos.1, 3-8, 10-20 and 22. So if anyone has any other copies of Nine-Nil available, I would gladly take them off your hands and even pay for them!

You might like to know that we try to maintain two copies of everything in case anything untoward should happen to the first copy, but if there are fanzine collectors out there we have quite a few spares for sale.

Every year I cart them along to the Collectors' Fair at Withdean, and every year I cart them back home, so I am advertising them here for sale at 10p each, no bulk discount. Add p&p or handover at a match. I have dozens and dozens, from Gulls Eye to rarer ones like Rat in the Camp and Seasons of Missed Opportunities.

On the other hand, I feel it would be great if we could get the fanzines onto the web as a resource for posterity, with the permission of their originators (and perhaps a warning notice about some remarks that were the subject of litigation!). So if anyone has the time to scan in these fanzines to produce decent quality PDF files, I'd be happy for them to have these spare copies free.

If anyone is interested, PM me.

As an avid programme collector, I am unsure quite how I've managed to miss the collectors fair.

Will there be one this year, at The Amex?

We were all hoping to get together for the 25th anniversary at the Bolton game but in the last few days have thought about having a dinner to celebrate Roy's invaluable contribution to GE with all the proceeds going to his chosen charity.

Great idea - back at the old Connaught Suites? Not sure if anyone would still want to see Rod Wood stripping these days though

 

[Charles 'Charley' Charles]

LOL - what did i do to it!?

Think it was an Andy Kennedy cover, whom I recall at the time was your favourite player Thanks for the delivery by the way.

 

[portlock seagull]

"Safe as houses, the goalie in trousers" t-shirt will one day be rereleased by ted baker or Paul smith.
Wish I still had mine Be worth a fortune. Legendary fashion!

 

[portlock seagull]

My fav cover was the first gulf war one with the Iraqis running for cover under a hail of footballs from the palace infidels! Everyone was laughing at college at that one I remember.

The most famous/notorious one was of course the one featuring Barry Lloyd and an incoming aircraft.

He was my favourite tart but i was more a Nogan devotee!

Well better not ask Nigel Bushfire Ersking along then. I can remember when you,d say to him to take his entrance money out of the bucket for helping sell the mag.
Roy's charity would go without trust me.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Regarding the dinners my favourite moments were me and my lady of the time buying Ian Chapman a very decent bottle of wine as a thank you when he left the Albion. I expected him to take it home but he got a glass from the bar and drank the lot in about 20 minutes after I handed it over. I also remember a row between the manager (Guiseppe?) of The Courtlands about the bar and the noise, and him telling Steve Foster that the residents in the room above the bar would not be happy. I pointed out to Guiseppe I was the resident above the bar which Foster seized upon. Suffice to say the bar remained open for a long while after.

Fun times and a Roy memorial charity bash will be a fitting 25th anniversary.

Never bought the rag. 6 pages at the most and on chip paper.

Randon Question

Isn't Randon that gas that seeps out of rocks in Cornwall?

Hopefully, yes.

The priority at the moment is The Museum, but once that is up and running and Tim has had a rest (!), a Collector's Fair is on the Agenda.

Are you in the Collectors & Historians Society? If not, you can download a form from my website www.seagullsprogrammes.co.uk It's £10 a year

I remember going on a G.E coach trip down to Plymouth (With a detour to Yeovil on the way back many moons ago )

Anybody else on that little jolly?!

 

[Sergei's Celebration]

I didn't think you were old enough.

One of my abiding memories of the Goldstone is my dad buying a GE off you on the Church steps. When we did the walk from the Goldstone to Falmer before the THFC game we started on that corner. Pic is the first one on this thread: https://nortr3nixy.nimpr.uk/showt...s-and-the-heritage-board-unveiling&highlight=

Why say that? Idiot (feeling very polite tonight)

Watching the sado worthing mob selling it outside the church made me laugh. Used to comment on how stupid they looked. Never saw anyone buy one copy even with the worthing mob screaming with their high pitch voices.

The "Worthing mob"were there in the days that Albion away meant an ICC coach out of Castle Goring,when the Worthing branch of the BHAFC supporters club were the ONLY ones running any support to away games.
The "sadDo"(at least get your insult right) Gulls Eye crew had done their time in the dark days when supporting the Albion meant 40 Die Hard fans on a 6 hour trip to Bury.They had done their time.
Have you?

Lets not beat about the bush people...it's a palace troll. Don't feed, not worth the price of one GE!!
