I work for WHSmith, I have arranged for a number of stores to hopefully have (very limited) stock of this edition tomorrow. I say hopefully as foreign newspapers have a tendency to arrive a day late or not at all! I will post an update on availability tomorrow.

The stores are-

Altrincham, Ashton, Bolton, Bury, Manchester Arndale, Manchester west one, Oldham, Middleton, Rochdale, Sale, Stretford, Trafford and Stockport.

Stock will be available to personal callers to the stores on a first come first served basis. Please note- we cannot take payment over the phone nor can we reserve stock.

I doubt we will be able to meet demand but at least a few people will be able to get hold of a copy....I got as many copies as I could!

Think I'll need to be early, only Ashton this side of town 9am should do it.
 
well done to all who contributed and the lads that did it, i wish i had chipped in now but you can count on me if you gotta any other plans for a banner of summat.

as a long timer i dont remember this sort of thing happening back in the day, and fair play to the BA too for for all the new banners they have sorted. I know they get stick on here sometimes but they are just City lads havin fun so good luck to em.

I have great memories of our time with Roberto and i wish him luck wherever he goes. I hope we meet again sometime, hopefully in the champions league final.

ciao

I shook his hand after the last Blackburn away. Spotted him at the lights in a black range rover and knocked on his window, he wound it down and shook my hand. Top Man!

Blues - you have your best chance in Trafford - there'll be no takers for this in Rag Country

Should be easy enough for me to get a copy then.

Unfortunately not, given the small allocation I could get I had to allocate to the Manchester stores.
 
brilliant effort by all you Blues and Adam the organiser of course! - and the perfect tonic to remind ourselves about why it is such a special club to be part of - by the fans, for the fans (to nick the kotk quote) - is the fund still open to send donations to the charity, or do we send it to jump space direct? many thanks and congratulations again, proud of each and everyone of you - ctwd / happy to be blue

Fairplay bud, thanks for the reply.

I've emailed WH Smith on the off chance there may be one available somewhere!!

In the meantime, I've got my PDF. File to look forward to in an email!!

(casually announcing I was one of the 800......... York away - pah, that is soooooo last year!!)

Fund is still open until later this week so if you do want to donate to Jumpspace please feel free to send them through to the GrazieManciniFund@gmail.com and it will be passed to them as part of this fund. Currently Jumpspace will be receiving a contribution of over £400 from City fans and that figure is still growing.
 
so how many 'platinum' twenty quidder's were there?
presumably not as many as the 'gold' ten quidders and the 'blue' five quidders?
were there any 'superbia' tonners?

I wear my Platinum badge with pride! :-)

which also means I paid for 15sq mm of the page - about the size of the inside of this 'O'
 
Brilliant idea and this will be a part of our history in years to come.
I wonder if anything canbe arranged to order copies in bulk, I'm sure there'd be loads of takers.

See email that has just gone out to all contributors. We are trying - the demand for an original copy of the paper is just incredible.

If they are available - we will get them.
