No idea. Maybe they threw a paddy about them being on here.

They tweeted about one being out this Sunday (I think).

From the station at Colchester
To the cells of Warrington
From the services at Leicester
To the slums of Northampton
We travel over England
And one day Europe too
Cos we all follow the Swindon
We're the famous Town End crew.

No idea what Flash is on about, but suspect it's more to do with fact Ron who runs Washbag also has a website to run, does the membership for the trust, has young kids and a full time job on his hands...

One of the people that runs the Washbag got upset about posting a link with content to one of their web pages on here a couple of weeks ago. |

Town fans are spoilt, we have swindon-town-fc.co.uk, The Washbag (with a well produced Town specific Podcast) and multiple media sources.
Just a shame there's not much room for a printed fanzine anymore.

As an ex fanzine bod I can honestly say it wouldn't work now. People are just used to not paying for things, and printing costs cash.
Plus with smartphones does anyone need to buy a fanzine? I don't know how well the official matchday mag still sells but I'd say with that and the multiple online sources we've got, the market is well any truly covered
As you say we are spoilt, thewashbag* and Swindon-town-fc are both, in their unique own ways, excellent resources, I wonder how many other clubs at our level are so well served
*Full disclosure: I very occasionally write for TheWashbag, but was a long time fan before I did.

I think he got upset by someone posting the content rather than a link to it on the washbag site. Which I can sort of understand I suppose. |

I was at Turf Moor a few weeks back and noticed a Fanzine seller. Tis a bit backwards in that part of the world mind.

Yes, he delivers excellent content for free on his site, so it's not unreasonable to want hits in exchange. |

On part of the train journey back from Sheffield last week, there was a Stoke fan sitting across from me reading "The Oatcake" fanzine. So, yes, it must be the Northern clubs who are 'hanging on' to them.
