King of the Kippax | Last ever edition (p 20)

[Exeter Blue I am here]

So reading some of the comments is the last edition going to be a printed version? Would love a copy or two if that’s the case, alongside the kindle version.

It’s never stopped being in print. Dave and Sue have been selling copies by subscription and posting them out since Covid, rather than sell them at the ground…..although I think the Blue Vicar’s lad stills flogs a few copies on the concourse on match days. Just drop them a line and they’ll send you one. I imagine the last edition will be bumper size, so it’ll probably be a fiver or so (NB - that’s just a guess)

The Blue Vicar sells at the top of Joe Mercer Way and his lad sells near the main entrance to the Colin Bell stand.
Both sell on the East Stand concourse (upper levels) at half-time.

I messed up and missed sending in a contribution to the last KOTK (Sorry Dave & Sue!) so here's a piece I wrote about Dave & Sue's contribution a few years back (follow the link):

King of the Kippax: End of an Era

The deadline for the last ever King of the Kippax fanzine has passed and I missed it. I meant to get something sent to Dave and Sue Wallace but circumstances meant I couldn’t and I really regret th…

Before Blueprint, KOTK, EB/BTH, Main Stand View and the rest we had no voice. Fanzines are so important to our history over the last 4 decades.

Used to love lying in the bath reading this.The illustrations were a major part of its magic.
Anyone know if they will be selling them at the Spurs game?

Dave and Sue were on BBC Radio Manchester Total Sport (18:00 - 18:45ish) this evening, if anyone wants to go back and give it a listen. Quite emotional. Tributes from Henry Winter and Craig Cash amongst others

I was driving through a little hamlet in Cheshire last week named Wimboldsley(outskirts of Crewe) and it got me wondering, what ever happened to the cat with the same name? Not sure if it was in the Kotk, Blue issue or Bert Trautmanns helmut.. it was a surreal tale of an adopted moggy which I think was found in this place.

Cheers. I've seen Emily loads of times in the South stand. She was on the pitch with her kids after the Villa game.
