Looking forward to downloading this - always good to read the first issue of a new season.
-
I always think it is the perfect size for reading in the bath. If Mr Woodhall wants to use that at any point in future as a little advertising/sales line he is welcome. I won't hold my breath though.

Can be a bit awkward though if you have more than one rubber duck in there to play with too.

Don't forget to say hello when you buy from me. Please buy from me, Dave won't let me out of the cellar if I don't sell enough copies.
-
And I have written about a quarter of the content so you had better enjoy it!
-
You going to be signing copies Chelts?
I'm really hoping one of my Fives made it in.

I think I have told the story before. The wife was very proud one Christmas a few years back, before I started writing for the fanzine.
She had purchased me a copy of Dave's book on Villa managers. The bit she thought was immensely exciting however was that she had a signed copy.
She was probably expecting me to gush in excitement when she pointed out the scribble inside the front cover on Christmas morning.
My response: "I am having a pint with him after the game".
Also, on the famous front. Blackburn away league cup semi.
In a pub before the game and met Guy Manners who used to post round here. I think I was selling him a spare ticket.
After the formalities I mentioned my real name rather than user name.
He took a back step and said "I didn't know you were THE Stuart".
My only moment as a -Z list celeb and it made me very uncomfortable.

Who's that on the cover? I don't recognise half our team these days.

Andi?
Hard to tell as it's a small pic. I'll tell you for sure on Saturday when you buy a copy from me *hint hint*

Weimann, I think.

Speech speech.
Ahem, while I'm unaccustomed to speeches of this kind I am very familiar with the reluctance of big business to give anything away, come the revolution, exploitation of this will be a thing of the past but in the meantime I could not pass up the opportunity to bait those that reside in opulence, lighting expensive cigars with £20 notes while slaves run around attending to their every whim.

Is Mr W letting you out of his sight this season or will you still be by the car park gates ?

North Stand gates as usual as far as I know. I now have squatters rights on that spot.
-
Seems I was a bit hasty in saying the new digital was available. Come back tomorrow morning.

Is it free? Dave charged himself two quid to see if the digital version was ready.

Last time we played them I was selling there and they really did live up to the stereotypes. One was selling knockoff merch from a shopping trolley, a few more were selling the same kind of thing from sports bags and I had 2 Tarby types chirping away in my ear for a while. And nearly every coach of them that went past was from Wales.

Not such a great pitch when it rains as it's the only one with no cover.

I think that's why it was my old pitch. Although I did 2 boxes once. I got promoted once to Mac's by the church, and occasionally the Trinity
You are just a pretender though lol, when you have done some of these aways ,Everton, Liverpool, Wigan, Burnley, West Ham, Blackburn (several bloody times), Doncaster, Man U, Man City, Bolton (again a few times), Chelsea, Spurs, Wrexham, Leeds and Wolves then you own my spot lol ;)
-
Well you can chalk Wigan off that list as I did that last year. So i'm getting there. Slowly!

Apart from opposite the church (mine) and Trinity Road gates (Greg's).

Really enjoyed the interview with paul faulkner in this issue , he got off to a tough start but seems to have come through and is now looking much better in the role .
Very good article indeed.
Many other good pieces to read as well and I have spent a few hours checking out the issue - well worth the money.
-
I will be purchasing mine from Mr W, part of my lucky pre-match routine.
-
I'll no doubt buy one off somebody or another.

Sorry changed parking spot last season and as a result missed a couple of copies due to not passing a seller. Decided to subscribe to ensure I didn't miss out and Mr W still got his money!
-
As I'll be walking past both Dave W and PWS, I've decided i'll buy off whoever shouts the loudest.

Only when Greg sells.

Please say hello if Mr Shin appears to have a security guard with him.

Bloody hell, I didn't realise he was that important.

Isn't there a bus stop right by you? And Greg can walk 6 inches and be under the Trinity. Whereas poor me just has to stand there and get wet.
I hear violin music.

Quit yer bloody moaning. What do you want ? Someone to hold an umbrella over you like you're Tiger Woods ?

Yes please Mr Sox, bring your brolly with you, just in case.

Some security guard you are!
-

Mine arrived about an hour ago.
-
I met DC5. he does really exist! Still not convinced Pauline does though.
-
Woo Hoo........ three of my lists in the "Fives" section. Take that Mr Shin !!
-

I confess I am Pauline ....at weekends.

After making the purchase from my usual seller (however he confused me by standing at gates of Trinity rather than his own tree) I was walking past players car park and saw Moyse walking towards Trinity. So quick as a snail I got to him with words "David can I have your autograph please?" And being a gentleman he signed the back cover and than read the caption and laughed!
-
Purchasing this on Saturday made me smile - especially since the vendor at the corner of North and DE stand at the time was having trouble explaining to a rather bewildered looking man that this was a fanzine and that's why it didn't look like the official programme.....
-
Right then, time for me to play at feedback from the great and good.
I wrote a few but I was most pleased with the Next Generation one. How did that go over?
I know I can moan until the cows come home about modern football but, to my mind, that one had a certain resonance that I was half happy with.
Also, what would you prefer to see in the mag as I am conscious I mostly write pissed off articles!
-
I thought the Paul Faulkner interview was quite good but whoever wrote the John Terry rant wasn't horrible about him enough.
Not finished it all yet though.
-
Bastard.....
PS Dave edited all the good stuff out re JT! Libellous apparently.

That would have been me. Dave sent us to night school to help us show politeness and patience to those kinds of twats. confused members of the public.
-
In order to purchase from either Mr Shin or Captain Chaos, people have to walk right past the "Official Programme" Huts. Yet some people still can't figure out that H&V isn't the same as the Official Programme.
People am stupid

The hut is a few feet to my left. And yet still they ask.

We seem to have a new vendor this year- he was very grateful we stopped, said he was Percy's son and that he would have to go back up the chimney/down the mine if he didn't sell enough (or something like that anyway) ;)
-
I started off buying from mr woodhall way back over 20 years ago and have never bought from anyone other than the great man - now though i prefer to download to my ipad .

He signed Academy forms during the summer and had a late call-up to make his debut due to a seller being caught in traffic.

And another son works opposite me outside the church. We are the fanzine sellers' equivalent of the Moss family.
-
Not tonight he won't be. Happy Birthday, by the way.
-
I'm selling in a new spot tonight. Which is nice.

Thanks Lee. Isn't Kurtis working tonight then? I'm not, I'll be carousing with my wife instead. Will say hello if we walk that way.
-
I'm at the ground, Dave believes Kurtis is selling.

It was so funny I'd swear it was put on for my entertainment.
-
Tonight was a record for being asked id it was the programme
-
It's a fanzine. A fucking fanzine. How many times do you need to be told, Rotherham fans? Never known anything like it. One woman had to be told three times. Dear McGrath.
-
I saw several Rotherham fans queing for a programme outside one of those kiosk things so a few of them knew where to buy one from.
Spotted PWS walking across the North Stand car park to his spot.
Also saw Dave W with about 4 people around him no doubt being asked if he was selling the programme.
-

Are you sure you weren't deliberately confusing them by asking if they wanted a bag of back issues thrown in for a fiver or charging a fiver a throw because we were playing a lower division Northern team in a cup game? (Bradford reference for those who don't buy the programme. I have to buy one every game for my lad).
