With regard to STAND, the more involved the better. It's a shame that the first issue was limited to 1000 copies which sold out in the no time because I set my stall out in regard to my views on modern football as I knew loads would be very wary of a City fan writing on the topic. I basically explained that I and all the other City fans that have been going for years didn't suddenly change when the takeover happened. We are still the same and what has happened the last few days with the Arsenal tickets proves that.
I can imagine a few Blues have given STAND a swerve because they think it might be full of anti-City bile but nothing could be further from the truth. It's very sympathetic to all genuine fans. It also isn't a load of blokes moaning about how much better it was in 'their day'. It's balanced, informative and funny. Have a read of this which might explain a bit better

Keep an eye out because Issue 1 might be getting a re-print soon.

Don't forget to mention the sticker campaign in many coffee shops around The Netherlands?
