Ball Sup Blog... Dem Blades Summer 2026 Fanzine

[Ball_Sup (Phil)]

Heads Up
The guys behind Dem Blades and The Pinch are producing a real thing, printed on paper, put it in a plastic wallet and file it in a shoebox Fanzine.

Quite frankly, the Carrier Bag Firm are all over it. And, in my opinion, so should you be...

The plan is to publish it in time for the Bochum trip. As it will include lots of Bochum related Bollocks and Buffoonery. But, not just that. Billed as - Bochum and Beyond - it will also include all the usual, high quality, left field writing and design from your Fellow Blades.

(There will be Bumps)

It's pre orders by 1 July - so they can work out how many to print. Details in the Link. Tell your friends. Get on it...

Sheffield United Summer Fanzine 2026 ⚔️

After three years, DEM Blades is back. Our Summer 2026 fanzine is coming together faster than Adrian Littlejohn. When it arrives, the final product will be the work of a shitload of Blades, and it is taking a shitload of work. It'll be superb. What can you expect inside? Think Bochum. Think...

A quality item.

Loving the sticker sheet designed to be left stuck around Germany. "Auf Wiedershen Pat" and "Guten Morgan" are great, but Lys lusting after an original German doner is inspired.

Thanks for sharing Ball_Sup (Phil).

Stuck a discount code on for anyone reading. Just put "S24SU" in at checkout for a quid off.

Know I'm a lurker on here now, but the Mackan Dem Blades blog I used to post on here started all this off (fanzine + The Pinch). Would never have done it without early feedback, such as: "like a porn star, watch your colon".

I'm going to ClickBait this Fanzine to the rafters...

I submitted a piece yesterday about one of Chris' Wilder's Trakkie Tops from 37 years ago. Now, that's CONTENT...

We love to encourage a trier.

Don't get too big for thi boots though, or hell will descend.

I just submitted a story about the tumultuous and momentous events surrounding the last time United played Bochum in 1969. It's a doozy as we say in the Blogging world.

Please pre order...

These have just arrived courtesy of a very sweaty postman (actually a woman).

The kebab lust has come out nicely.

In case you ain't followed the story...

The team behind The Pinch News and the Dem Blades Fanzine have been working on a new it's real, it's on paper, Summer Fanzine - Bochum & Beyond.

The artwork features Chris Wilder and Andre Brooks on the cover. And one of the accompanying stickers has the Brooks Will Tear You Apart meme.

Following yesterday's transfer news, the value of the Fanzine has increased dramatically in a - Queen's Head facing the wrong way on a Penny Black stamp - scenario.

I've checked. And you can still order it at the original price. Get on this now..

Joy Division and Ian Curtis knew the story

When routine bites hard and ambitions are low
And resentment rides high, but emotions won't grow
And we're changing our ways, taking different roads
Then love, love will tear us apart again
