I can't comment on most of the Griffin stuff as I wasn't there and I've made my feelings clear.
However WTF was a shame, it was a real Fanzine unlike 4foxsake which was good but fully aligned to the club which was never a secret.
I saw both issues in advance (obviously) and although not to my taste I saw nothing in either that seemed wrong to me, typical fanzine stuff really. The only thing that caught us both unawares was the fact the Solomona's kiddy was on the cover shot of issue 2 and apparently we needed permission for that - something we did by mistake and were genuinly sorry for. Other than that there was the issue with selling it in the ground and on that I fully appreciated the club couldn't allow that without prior editing. You understandably didn't want that so all it did was limit your sales opportunities. Funny thing is now you'd sell it via ebay and facebook etc or via a blog.
It really is a shame it failed because much as I enjoyed doing 4fox sake with Benny and the rest we were always a bit constrained. Be nice to see you back as this team may not be the best but in most games they show spirit, give it a wirl. As for WTF we still need a real fanzine and always will and I'm still here to help so long as I feel it's within the realms of decency etc.
Finally you can moan and groan all you want but none of your confrontation match the mothers backlash I and especially Feline received for my infamous Cheerleaders article in Issue 1 of 4foxsake. That was more like a fatwa and I'd rather fight Griffin any day
Oh The Cheerleaders !!
Funny how these stories that you forget come flooding back. The Skyrack, Boxing Day after the Whinos friendly. There stood a girl, from behind looked stunning, from the front a face I recognised. A Blue Wkd later and it all came flooding out, the ex cheerleader wanted revenge and she saw me as a way to get it, maybe she was slightly worse for wear but genuinely she was a nice girl and she seemed upset at what had gone on. Had I gone to print with the full story, I doubt a certain manager would still be at the club and Id have got the blame but at the time I didnt care, I just wanted a story to get heads turning and I did a little bit, but it could have been a whole lot worse !! I never saw eye to eye with the manager in question nor her husband, Im told shes doing a really good job these days which I wont knock, but to me her heritage lies at the Jungle and with that I'll always be on the ex cheerleaders side. I actually met another one not so long back in a bar, and she backed up the story.
But the above was what I was all about, I had my own opinions but I also had contacts / friends everywhere. If something was going on behind the scenes I normally got to know about it. I had enough to print 12 fanzines a year and an annual in December if I wanted. Phonecalls, texts, e-mails, it never stopped but ultimately I just couldnt go to print with everything. In December, a conversation with someone lead to me hearing tales about the current junior scouting setup and how much of a farce it is. Id have gone to print with that in more detail had I still been going but Id have upset the club again including an ex favourite player of mine who crossed to the other side.
Im sure I said it when I eneded but just in case, thanks for all the help. I still dont agree with everything you put on here, but then again who doesnt. But in terms of working with you on the mag, I can only heap praise as the end product was just what I wanted.

Was that about Leon Pryce?

I'm a happy depressive - the glass is half empty but the bar is open.: |

I believe I am still under restrictions on this so I am unable to say 'Exactly right' so it will have to stay a mystery

More good than bad I'd say.
