hirstyno9 Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 We've had some great fanzines over the years. Here's a Spitting Feathers front cover, which apparently contains some apologies from W.M.Lee!! And let's not forget that WOTMT has made a recent comeback! So we do still have a paper fanzine.

REDOWL Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Spitting Feathers, Wednesday Half Day Closing,Cheat,Blue and White Wizard A View From The East Bank and Out of The Blue were all top rate fanzines in my opinion. I was fortunate enough to contribute articles for OOTB for a short time and spend hours,especially nowadays,reading through the different fanzines I have. Some top class humour in them and thought provoking articles. For me they were a part of all things Wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeJayOne Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 6 hours ago, Grandad said: Pretty sure this was the title of the first 100 page thread on Owlstalk. of which 50% of all the posts were made by Wednesdays (now) Press bloke Trevor Braithwait refusing to accept the truth First 100 page thread and the first 1000 post thread! @darra got the 1000th post if I remember correctly. In true fanzine style there were a lot of opinions thrown around, sarcasm, silly arguments and excellent humour. I’m sure half the people arguing were on the same side of the argument for half of the thread but carried on arguing anyway! It was all good natured though... for the most part. I know some certain people resented some posts in it for a looooong time afterwards and it kept being brought up even years later. That ‘press bloke’... Now Director of Communications and one of the influential people Chansiri refers to in his latest interview when he mentions people who “know Wednesday inside out”. Who’d have thought it... from hawking a fanzine outside the Kop gates to top of the tree inside the club. Fair play to him. SHEFFIELD SHOP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
