Our first quarterly fanzine is out next week...

[Steve Mackan]

I hope I'll get away with this ruthless plug on the grounds that contributors to the zine include Deadbat Roygbiv Ball_Sup (Phil) designblade and Pinchy ...

...Just kidding, Pinchy's nowhere to be seen...AND we have a Billy Sharp cover...you're in now, aren't you?



You can subscribe here to recieve every issue delivered to your door in 2019. One price, no additional postage and every issue comes with extra arty bits and pieces.

To give you a flavour of what to expect, here's how we line up:

1. FATHER FIGURE The story of Billy Sharp

2. DEM BLADES BULLET-IN - 318..no, 392..no...303?!

3 UNITED BY AN ALTERNATE REALITY - Roy takes us down a Memory Lane full of what ifs and maybes

4. MOONLIGHTING BLADES - The secret second lives of the first team are revealed

5. PUKKA PIE POETRY CORNER - 'Wordsworth was a Blade' and other metrical compositions

6. AGANA AUNT - A Blades hero answers your problems of life, love and pet monkeys

7. DEADBAT’S DRIBBLE - Deadbat pens his mostly irrelevant thoughts on matters of no importance whatsoever

8. (LOOSELY) ONE OF OUR OWN - The story of an ex-Bades you might never have heard of

9. WHO ARE YA?! - We chat to the man behind the handle; Blades Analytic

10. LOOKING BACK, AND FORWARD - a fan-view of United history, as custodians of the club

11. CARRIER BAG CORNER - Ruminations on a parallel, shoddy, dog-eat-dog Blades world through the eyes of the Carrier Bag Firm

12. EXPECTED GOALS IS NOT ENOUGH - Antony Adshead - AKA S2Stats - studies the season to date throgh statistics; no lies, no damned lies.

13. THE BOY IN THE PAINTING - The story of, and cap doffed toward, Percy on his 100th birthday.

Yes! If you’ve subscribed you get the lot. Last time around the stickers went to those who bought a reward on Kickstarter - your safe this time. And they are even better.

Thanks mate. Well, it is primarily a mail-order service. £5 per issue x4 Issues with no postage costs on top. We will be looking at stocking them in a few pubs, so if you'd rather buy face-to-face then that will be an option down the line. We'll drop a note on here as and when we know when/where that'll be.
