a certain points in my city following career, it was the highlight of a saturday afternoon, a few pints, buy fanzines, get in ground, have a read and a chat to mates, out for a few more pints, night out, home

I miss "The Thin Blue Line".
Stopped when we changed grounds, I think.
It would have been great reading during the rebrand years.

Thin Blue Line wasn't it?

Fanzines were impacted by widepread internet tbh. Any news in them would be out of date, easier to run blogs.

How many have we had?

In the dark days of the dungeon (copyright Watch The Bluebirds Fly) it felt we had more fanzines that could possibly be needed bearing in mind the support numbers wise was utter shit.

Intifada
Bluebird of Happiness
Thin Blue Line?

Are a few I remember off the top of my head.

Interestingly, I was once informed that Gareth Bennett the UKIP politician wrote for one.

We had quite a few back then:

Barmy Army
Bluebird Jones
Bobbing Along
Cover the Grange
Do The Ayatollah
Intifada
Moving to a Different Beat
O Bluebird of Happiness
Proper Shaped Balls
Singing The Blues
Thin Blue Line
Watch the Bluebirds Fly

still looking for the following 9 issues:

Do The Ayatollah .. .. .. .. .. 3
O Bluebird of Happiness .. .. 34 .. 35 .. 37
Proper Shaped Balls .. .. .. .. 4
Thin Blue Line .. .. .. .. .. .. .. 70 .. 77
Watch the Bluebirds Fly .. .. .. 68 .. 70

The lad who created Bluebird Jones had a small exhibition of his work from those days about two years ago at the Andrew Buchan pub in Albany Rd. Blown up comic strips on the walls, was a good night, a couple of us went. He’s involved with Dulwich Hamlet now I believe. Very Viz like.

Here we go. It’s surprising how a thread on here jogs the memory. I’ve not looked at this site for years.

Unfortunately he's fallen out of love with city since the rebrand, but he does still sneak in now and then around christmas.

Fair play to you!

Trying to see if my mate Richard Lewis who put together Oh Bluebird of Happiness can sort you out with the ones you need. He has hundreds of copies in his loft
