Contacted Crystal Tips...

There are rumblings of a September issue of The 69er!


Too much shit not to put one out!

Who is interested.?....articles, cartoons, rants, abuse, telling me to fuck off etc etc.

I'm up for doing some writing/editing for it

I'm disgusted. The last one said it was the last one, EVER. Though it didn't say FACT so that's OK.

You are right...

Perhaps an amusing name change?

I'd be up for making some kind of contribution. I'm better with words than pictures I must say...

Flash - this is a complete and utter stitch up.   I'll have to be more careful what I say to you in the future. 

But ok then, why not.   

Get thinking everybody.   Should be plenty of stuff to say by the time September comes.

As a veteran contributor my pencil is savagely working already ct

Please see 'rumblings'.....Just like there were rumblings that Paul Trollope was going to take over xx

ah yes 'rumblings' you are right Flash.    :doh: I am always jumping the gun.

 A bit of holiday and first couple of weeks of the new season, then we will see.

Can still think of a few things anyway, just in case  ;)

I thought the last 69er was a decent read and made me think that despite popular opinion, the idea isn't completely obsolete. It would be good to see copies of this scattered round the CGH, Tap and Barrel, Merlin and Legends Lounge next season.

I remember years ago a feature in the 69er on the worst ever Swindon XI, which described Jason Drysdale as "genuinely no-footed".  This still makes me giggle.

il sessantanove?

Oohhh, think that was penned by me??! If not I seem to remember writing some similar.

As a former contributer I'm quite excited by this news.

Nah it got to be the 69er still, just add an amusing tagline.

Tee hee hee... now this still makes me laugh today...

Would be interested in contributing if this was to happen, the last issue was very amusing even if I'm probably too young to appreciate most of the jokes.

Not sure if it would be easier done online for those involved in running it though?

I can contribute something dull, probably serious and bland if you need space fillers for the cartoons and good gags.

Seriously, it's not that much trouble in print, most work is running about chasing people for contributions.  Though I know the editing took a while last time and that would apply either way.   I probably wouldn't do it online.

And if you're too young to remember some of the old jokes, that's ok, there were plenty of new jokers around the CG last season

Doing it online kind of misses the point of doing it at all IMHO. Its a nostalgia thing I guess.

agreed. it needs to be printed and around the pubs of swindon on a match day for a giggle, online is a bit pointless.

I might start up an online one......and....start up a new forum.

Cunt free...

Does that mean i would have to ban myself??!!

yes!

Yep, couldn't deal with the constant stream of it.  Paper copy 69er to keep and this forum for the ephemeral is enough for me. 

The outstanding memory fir me has to be PC Wank.... The oufc supporting copper

Delighted it's coming back.  The internet is meant to have killed the fanzine, but you can't get around the fact that you can't buy an internet to read on matchdays and read at half time and take home with you afterwards and have funny cartoons in and stuff.  I think there's a little more than nostalgia to it.  When you get a few younger contributors who can't even remember a world without the internet, you'll know the idea really has legs.

I have a back catalogue of 69ers stashed away with my old match programmes.  The articles that stand out in my mind are the spoof interview with Shaun Taylor 'at home' with his wife Letitia and children Tristan and Isabella (who liked horseriding and ballet), and a write up of a pre-season tour or Tenerife or somewhere where Fjortoft delivered the line 'Fjording hell, it's hot out here!', which I remember possibly being the funniest thing I had read that year.  (Maybe you had to be there.)

Good mag and my last(one off special) one has pride of place amongst all my other programs.

Keep it reasonably priced and it would sell like hot cakes.
