GNFC Fanzine

[fleeting glance]

Good to see a fanzine coming out soon.

At £3 I hope it reaches enough supporters of GNFC.

 

As a casual suppoter I will buy one.

 

I hope it is'nt tied to the clubs apron strings or the supporters club.

 

The best fanzines are truly independent, take Charlton and Fulham - (Voice of the Valley and TOOFIF) both were powerful voices and VOTV was key in taking Charlton back to the valley.

 

Good Luck with the venture...

If it is too critical of the club and board, I suspect it wouldn't be allowed to be sold in the club shiop by trust members.

Cannot see why it cannot remain independant though, it certainly has little reason to be overly critical.

Looking forward to the fanzine, if it takes off do you think we might be able to purchase it under a subscription method

[fleeting glance]

As long as the criticism is constructive (and the praise) I would have thought it would be welcomed by a club moving forward - another way to attract NEW support.

 

Fanzines dont usually come into their own until they find a cause or an issue.

cant wait for it next saturday i will diffo be getting one.

[Jimmy]

Although trust members have contributed the views expressed are those of the contributors and not of any organisation.

 

A bit like Alan Parker's column.

 

As for subscription? Doubt it.

[Andy Y. (G&NFC)]

To put peoples mind at rest.

 

When I offered to do a couple of pieces for the fanzine I asked if there were any restrictions and was told none within reason.

 

I certainly wouldn't want to be associated with a rag that only sucks up to the bosses!

 

By the way, those of you who think Charlie is a God will no doubt enjoy one of my articles on a certain Mr Portway (if its been included!)

just like to be one of the 1st on here to say well done on the fanzine.

 

just a couple of ideas for future issues. (Of course ignore me if im wrong)

 

Go to A5 then it can have more pages and go black and white, just looking at some other fanzines i have got from various clubs. Most are like that then maybe with a colour cover but overall very good.

 

Heres to the next issue of "Still No !dea"

[Hirsty]

...where were they sold then ? I didn't see anyone selling them, I would have bought one.

 

Cheers

[mikefleet]

at 1st there were from the trust hut, then near the programmes before the match. then at half time back in the trust hut.

 

it was said over the tannoy

[Emily]

I think it was a good first effort but agree it would be better A5 size. It just seemed to be huge pages with really big writing.

 

Plus it didn't fit in my pocket but an A5 programme does and a lot of people seemed to be having similar problems.

 

Suggestion - I bought mine from the guys near the programme stand, but only because the husband noticed what they were selling. Be a bit more vocal boys and you might sell some more!

[Harry J Allstars]

Thanks for the suggestions, all are welcome.

 

Today was just a trial run, theres still a lot more that we can do with it. We made it that size due to it being the first edition, and therefore "special". Future editions will be A5 and probably black and white.

 

As for the selling we wasn't sure what to do. The weather was a factor and we wasn't sure if it was going to start raining, which if it did we obviously could sell them at the gate. We would prefere to sell them at the gate as we have more freedom. The trouble I have is I'm not a shouter, when selling Golden Goals I tend to approach people one at a time rather than shout "Golden Goal". I find it sells more. But today I didn't want to get right in the way of the programme hut or Sandra who was selling the Golden Goals. So I had to find the best available position which was out of the way of people who come through the gate and head to the bar. Maybe I need to stand on that little mound next to the programme hut and begin to shout, weather permitting of course.

 

Sorry we missed you Hirsty but we still have some left, when we know the weather situation closer to the Stevenage game I'll let you know where we'll be and we can work it out from there.

 

If people want to contribute to future editions please PM me or speak to me when you see me.

when is the next issue going to be out?

 

is it going to be every month or couple of months?

[eufckev]

Love the back page!!

Kenny brought his copy of "Still No !dea" at half time so he could read his script for the second half.

I got a full house in the first 5 minutes!

 

A good read Paul and Ian! Keep it coming!

[Slartibartfast]

Well done Harry and J.C. a good first effort, I especially enjoyed the homage to Jacko.

 

The only complaint I would have is the dodgy pictures on page 1 of a young Paul Weller and a member of the hitler-jugend with a nasty smell under his nose. Lose those and you are onto a winner.

Probably quaterly. Although to be honest we're not quite sure yet.

Also I forgot to give thanks to John Rodgers, Andy Yerlett and Ed Miller. Cheers guys.

Forgot to mention that the Francis Duku Soduku was too easy, did it in under 2 minutes, a more challenging on next time.
