I know the internet age pretty much killed the fanzine scene but I have fond memories or Bring The Noise, The 69er and the Magic Roundabout.
Anyone from here involved in any zines of the past?, Bring The Noise was responsible for helping shape my music tastes too

I collaborated on a few things for Off The Ball. OTB was a sort of cross club fanzine, which looked at specific issues affecting all fans, but contributors would highlight particular aspects of their clubs. The serious messages were conveyed by what later became the typical irreverent humour of the fanzine movement.
The leading lights were Baggies fans...good lads, like all the Baggies fans I've met over the years.
Back in the early 70's there was the daddy of fanzines.. Foul. I had a load of copies which got lost somewhere in the transient lifestyle I had at the time...I recently acquired a compendium of old Foul articles. Really strange..I recall it being quite funny at the time, but on re-reading the articles, it seemed like something written by a PaulD/Lumps clone...devoid of all humour.

Somewhere in the loft I'm sure I have a stash of 69ers and a copy or two of the other one, was it the Randy Robin or something?

Joteddyred ran the 69er I believe, certainly did for the playoff season special edition.

I have no idea who you are referring to, but I suspect, were I him, I'm point out I was at school at the time and the Randy Robin was nowt more than youthful folly. |

Yep, it was Crystal. Although I did my fair share of selling them and the odd article. Never nice having to shout out about selling the 69er... |

I had a couple of articles in the 69er, and managed one in When Saturday Comes as well. I cringe when I read it now. So badly written.

If you can't find a copy on eBay, I believe the British Library has a copy of every 69er. Apparently a legal requirement. |

When Saturday Comes continues to be a good read even after so many years. What was your article about and when Ardiles. I have quite a few old copies. Might be able to find it somewhere. |
