I did the same. Burnt loads of fanzines, programmes, match and train tickets along with concert tickets and all sorts of stuff. I had a huge glass framed thing with all my favourite away tickets in it, including my Wembley’81 ticket. Loads of pin badges, put them on a bonfire then put what couldn’t be burned in a skip. All to forget a shit time in my life. I had boxes and boxes of irreplaceable stuff. All gone. Man I regret that. But it’s what I needed to do. And it’s where my head was at the time. I still cherish the MEN and Pink reports I’ve kept that my dad sent me when I lived in France and Germany as a student. Like gold dust. In 1989 he sent me every MEN report. My fave is the one from when we beat Oxford away 4-2. He attached a note “the boys came back! Good times ahead son”.
 
For a while Phil lived in Coventry and travelled all over with the Leicester and Rugby branch along with the legendary Dave Kelly (top bloke)
 
By way of info the next edition, due out end of November-ish I suspect, based on next week’s submissions’ deadline, will be the 300th and last. Dave and Sue Wallace have decided to call time on the fanzine after 35 years. A terrific effort and I’m sure many people will want to thank them for all the hard work they put in

I've not read it for a while but there was a time (pre internet) when this and a few of the other City zines were staple reading, witty and often the best news source for our club - I subscribed for a good few seasons rather than pick up an issue at the match as in those days, it got a little messy and I often lost issues, so decided to get them delivered to my home!!

Whilst I don't know Dave and Sue on a personal level, I've had a few engagements with Dave and always found him to be a really good bloke.

Don't know (or care, or mind) if they've made profit from the fanzine but how they have essentially devoted the last 35 years or so, providing entertainment/information for us Blues is extremely commendable.

Fairplay to both of them and if this is the last issue - seriously well done, cannot praise them and all the other contributors highly enough

Wow, what a legacy...
 
Haven’t bought a copy for 30 years but I’ll buy this one, KOTK is a part of the fabric of City and a link to a time when fans felt more connected to the club. Written by proper blues for proper blues.

Thank you guys.
 
I shall certainly miss this as was apart from a great read the true essence of what the fans true opinions were at the current time. So much more reliable than the spoon fed drivel from Sky. There will be nothing like it ever again.
