A new Blades Fanzine is coming out

[Steve Mackan]

Ey up.

I've put together a new Blades Fanzine. I mentioned earlier in the year that I would, and I have...almost.

Dem Blades Annual 2018 will include some familiar contributors:
Ball_Sup (Phil) Deadbat Roygbiv Danny04 - I can't remember all the other usernames on here, but Shoreham St Magnifique, Blades Pod, Blades Analytics, ArtyBianco and loads more (sorry if I've not mentioned you). As well as some of the tomfooleries to be found on my blog.

We're raising £500 on KickStarter in order to print the thing. Please note, this is not a case of please fund us and get nothing in return. £6 + P+P buys you an annual and helps us hit our target. There's also a couple of other rewards on there too. Also, I am not going to make any money out of this. Any marginal profit will go back into making the 2019 edition.

I hope this doesn't constitute spam (tin hat at the ready). The whole thing is fan led and, I don't know about you all, but I've been hankering after more bits of paper for a while.

I hope you'll buy it and, even more so, I hope you enjoy it.

Thank you. I really mean that too.

We're almost two-fifths of the way to our target. So, looks like all systems go!

I've pledged! Postage to UAE is down as £10, but it will be more than that, so at the time, let me know and I'll send you some more for the p&p. No such thing as normal post so it will have to be by DHL!

Fingers crossed the target is hit! Looking forward to reading it!

 

[Kop Cat]

done, good luck with it, look forward to reading it

I’ll buy one. One question, when will you be printing and posting? If it’s mid July to mid August I’m back over so can get it posted to UK, if not I’ll put my work address here so I can receive it. Same as the UAE as well it will cost a bit to get it here so let me know.

It should be first week of August, there can always be delays with this sorts thing. Keep in touch, can always sort postage if there’s issues.

I’ve heard a couple of people say similar ish. Trying a new browser and/or downloading The app worked for them.

It sounds like a veritable “who’s who” of Blades punditry and for that reason, I’m in.

Did you keep trying and trying before?
Only reason I ask is because a £500 donation has just come through and it has your name linked to it

 

[coolhandluke]

Pledged - card details in - surprised it's coming all the way from Nigeria though

 

[K1 flabby stick]

Pledged, looking forward to it.
