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

80s Shirley?

I get why you might think that, but they only came to the fore at the very end of the 80’s. Their heyday was the 90’s without a doubt, before the march of the Internet.

Subscribe to it myself. Absolutely brilliant read with some cracking contributors who are extremely funny. If you’ve not bought one give it a go. Brilliant.

I first bought king of the kippax in 1989 and still buy it today, I get the odd few on kindle but I love it. Still going strong after all these years shows the dedication from Dave and Sue.

Yeah you're right there GDM.

If we were all still buying City fanzines, Bluemoon would have never taken off and Ric would still be working at McDonald's instead of being a dot com millionaire.

Used to get nearly all KotK 's and some of the others, not bought or even read one for years.... probably this millennium.

It was a time/place thing and brilliant at the time, club programmes v fan publications....no contest.

yes forgot about electric blue! Sure they did that offer with some sort of floppy vinyl attached to it with a remix of Bluemoon with commentary on the 5-1 or the memory is playing tricks with me again . No recollection of BTH though

The online fanzine-type thing I remember is MCIVTA (Manchester City Info via the Alps).

Electric Blue morphed into BTH, due to EB also being, back then the same name as a porn mag .... The guy who ran it is on here too ..

Before we all had the internet my wife worked at Birmingham University and used to print this for me!

I used to buy CTIC, but I have subscribed to KOTK for a few years now and I think it is a terrific read, always informative and at times hilarious. If you haven't tried it you really should give it a go. The contributors are clearly a talented bunch. Long may it continue.

And before anyone asks - no I am not one of the contributors!
