Grazie Mancini - The Gazetta Ad goes to print!

[ctidcarl]

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!

Will there be any copies in any of the branches in Norwich??!! (There wasn't today!!)

Already becoming another "York away", a knob at work reckons he donated £10, "there was a collection bucket in the city store".... He must of thrown a tenner in the paper bin

Lol.

Unfortunately not, given the small allocation I could get I had to allocate to the Manchester stores.

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.
