The last thing we need to do is to rekindle the occasional ‘Fanzine Wars’ on here. Divisive and silly.Yes 6 years. 88 to 94.
By which time there were 8 Blue Print babies born between us and our time was taken up doing other things
Suffice to say I have huge respect for all those who gave up their time to write for, produce or stand in the pissing rain selling to provide a platform for independent voices among the many different strands of our diverse fanbase during what were often our darkest hours. A thankless task and yet still the City fans stood up to the plate, in many guises. I salute them all.
Still liked Blueprint the best, though

I had nearly all of them in the loft at one stage. Ended up on a massive bonfire, along with many other treasured belongings, when I made the wrong choice of life companionI wonder if there's people either full collections of the old fanzines? It would be fascinating for them to be digitised and preserved in some way

I remember one of the issues and I am sure that it had changed to Dagenham Dan - The Engerland Fan.I wrote the scripts for Dagenham Dan, The Man U Fan (but not the drawings)
You will know the inspiration for the title ;)
After the first one, I actually sent a copy to Viz and they politely declined......
Can you remember doing that version Phil?

I still have all issues of Blueprint, apart from Two and Three.I wonder if there's people either full collections of the old fanzines? It would be fascinating for them to be digitised and preserved in some way

Which fanzine used to have the spoof letters to the MEN in it?
I remember one that proposed merging all the Greater Manchester teams as "ManStockUnityBoltBuryDale" in a bid to win the title after many years of failure - the response iirc correctly was "I wonder what EverLiverMere would say about that!"
Made me laugh at the time!

Didn’t she get slaughtered by some City fans over her comments relating to one of our managers?That's her and it was a great read.
