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

Before we all had the internet my wife worked at Birmingham University and used to print this for me!
If I recall correctly MCIVTA wasn’t online but was an email subscription service.

Universities had internet before the rest of us so was accessible that way (may be it was email for those without the internet).

Just checked with the wife, who confirmed it was available as a newsletter online in the early 1990s (she worked at the uni around 1993-1996).
 
I first bought KOTK at Fratton Park in 88-89 and bought all the City zines for a while.
The following season we tonked the rags 5-1 and a few weeks later Private Eye mentioned us drubbing them in an article about the farcical attempted takeover of the rags by Michael Knighton. I sent the article to all the fanzines and I think they all printed it. Dave Wallace was the first editor I met and I kept sending him odd comments which eventually grew in the Ged Sounds Off page. I also helped Dave and Sue sell the fanzine for about 20 years, and still do occasionally when others sellers aren't available.
 
Yeah, I can read a double page in KotK, but any lengthy posts on here I tend to skim over and read the replies. KotK is a bloody good read. Is Burf back?
He seems to be very intermittent on here recently.
His style of writing is well suited for a fanzine with a lovely turn of phrase. Easy to dip into before sleep or in the toilet library

I first encountered MCIVIA in the early to mid 1990s. I have worked in the University sector since the late 1970s and was not fully online until around 1994-95 although email came somewhat earlier.
