Yes! That's exactly it. I like to read words on paper, not on a screen. I spend enough time at one of those, it's nice to get away from it.

Also, zines are actually on the rise again. I definitely read that somewhere. A bit like vinyl I suppose. I see it as a reaction to the increasing influence of technology in our lives, sometimes the simplest option is the best one.

Anyway, if you want to get involved please do.

I'd love to feature more comment on previous TUFC fanzines. I only have one issue of Capital Gull as my background info. If anyone has some information (maybe someone could discuss old zines in the new zine...) or old copies to share I would love to see some.

Thanks!

Hey, so I just wanted to let everyone know that Issue One is done and dusted and already out there in the wild. Posted a bunch out today, a few more going out tomorrow and sold a handful at the game on Monday as well. Thank you to those who have bought a copy so far. I hope you enjoy it (please let me know what you thought), and I hope it inspires you to get involved. You can pick up a copy from http://www.sideonetrackone.bigcartel.co ... -to-hele-1 for just £1.

Issue Two is already underway!

Will you be selling it again at the next home game? Just wondering whether to buy it from your link or wait till then.

I'd be happy to, let's call that an admin error. I'm not sure how much postage would be but I'll figure something out.

Thanks everyone who's picked one up, sales were mental yesterday. I have since gambled on a reprint which means I could use a bit of help spreading the word. Please feel free to share Twitter posts etc. I won't break even but it would be nice to come close!

I have just written out a ton of envelopes so if you have ordered one up to this point, it will definitely go out today (loads went out yesterday/the day before also).

With regard to selling at home games, I'm not a season ticket holder and as such my attendance is sometimes inconsistent. If you definitely want one, perhaps it would be best to get it online. I am definitely aiming to get to Telford away, and may get to Nuneaton at home before then as well.
