These things usually take off when the club is on something of an upswing...so now might be the right time (if anyone has any time).
Unfortunately its not really about time, more money than anything. For a club ous size it'd be hard to shift enough to cover costs! |

I'm pretty sure there was one called 'Sheep Shagger' which, as far as I am aware came out for only one issue. Oooh, it might be worth some money - I've probably still got it lying around somewhere  |

Oooh, it might be worth some money - I've probably still got it lying around somewhere I've got a copy of 'Sheep Shagger'. It was mostly taking the piss out of Plymuff after we beat them 3-0 with only 9 men. I think I've got every copy of the '69er (16 issues?).The Magic Roundabout wasn't bad either, especially issue 2 and the infamous McMuck/Hunt cartoon. |

Theres too much written about football now for a fanzine to work.
Back 10 years ago the only real outlet for all your thoughts about football was with your mates/down the pub/in the ground. Nowadays fans talk about football on line in great detail every day.

I was a regular contributor-cartoons and articles to both BTN and the 69er.I am still in contact with Anna who was the ed of 69er,she still is a season ticket holder in the DRS.I have every copy still and the original drawings I submitted.It was an interesting time for the Town and course,plenty to write about.Fanzines however have been somewhat undermined by the internet unfortunately.
did you draw the McBag cartoons? |

Me too, except the cartoons bit. And if you did do the cartoons bit, I'm sure I have a great picture of the Wembley 90 McBag flag. Somewhere. I've left all my originals with Sonic Youth for safe keeping  |

I remember a feature once describing Jason Drysdale as "genuinely no-footed". So true.

I used to help Anna & Craig sell the 69er and lots of fun doing that but probably heard enough 69er jokes to last a lifetime especially the tight gits who said 'I don't need to buy a 69er as I got on last night off the Mrs'

69er ran over 30 issues from January 1993 to November 1998. Now I am a statto, but I should know.
Wish I could scan in cartoon from last issue on Ricky Hunt - quite topical now eh?
Went something along the lines of 'I'm a lovable Scouser who has the fans' best interests at heart'. As if.
Still always thought Bring the Noise was the best though.

Yup, back when they were a novelty and just about the only alternative to anything official. I've got most of them stashed away somewhere.
I only sent in one contribution I think. Someone I know borrowed that issue, then after a while said he couldn't find it, and I've never seen my 'journalistic debut' since. If you're reading this, you know who you are.

Well I thought about restarting the 69er a few times over the years, it was great fun - long time ago now.
Had to look out a few issues last night after reading this. Some great budding journalists - at least one contributor even turned into a proper one. And we had some laughs.
There was more than one article on Jason Drysdale I think, but I had loads of other favourite pieces. Most of the stuff slagging off McMahon was great, he was the reason I stopped in the end.
There is always room for satire, but there's a lot of that on this site already.
