One year on from our first publication, we are introducing Dem Blades Annual 2019. This years’ edition is all about away.
---You can pre-order copies by following this link ---
This time around, we have more contributors than ever before – that is more contributors giving up their time to create something with an authoritative Blades voice. We pick up the story during the 1899 FA Cup run, and we end in the here and now.
In between, we have touching, weird and wonderful variations on the theme of away. We zoom in on the last five decades of being a Blade away from home. We discover Kevin Gage's definition of Playing Away, and Nick Montgomery tells us about his first good away performance (was there one?!).
We also have our usual array of features from people well known to you. You may recognise their reg plates as Weirdo1, CBF 818, <10.
We’ve had loads of support for our fanzines on Twitter and Facebook, but nowhere more so than here. So I hope you’ll take the plunge and read our latest offering – if you have any questions, thoughts, grumbles, moans…do let me know.
UTB.
Oh and....the cover
We ran some head to head polls on twitter asking fans to choose their favourite away kits of all time; we then took the top ten and asked them to vote to choose a final four. Those were 1978, 1989, 1991, 1993. An artist, who I know frequents this forum, then turned them into the bold, imaginitive designs you see flashing away below. They may wish to 'out' themselves to take some well-earned kudos.
