Afternoon boys and girls,

I am an avid town fan and season ticket holder since the age of 6 (now in my 40s, gulp!) until 2000 to 2017 whilst I held a position of matchday steward. Now back on the terraces. Also I am a Graphic Designer and keen writer.

I am contemplating creating a new club fanzine and am going to contact the club for permissions/feedback. I feel this would help bring the club and fans together and would welcome articles and input from both sides in the form of interesting and fun articles and columns.

Not looking to profit from this but maybe raise additional funds for the mariners trust and youth set-up/transfer kitty.

Was wondering what sort of interest there is for fans to support this and to find out if it's worth pursuing. If it gets off the ground I will be looking for people to help me make this publication a reality.

Please let me know your feedback.

thanks in advance, Stuart

I'd probably buy it if it comes off. Not really an official programme type of guy, but like a fanzine if it's topical, light hearted and has some humour. Good luck with it.

Reading the OP I think he is looking for permission to do it independently, I would suspect there will be copyright issues otherwise and if nothing else by asking the club may allow him access to do player and manager interviews, just a thought.

The club have a history of not engaging with any party that publicly criticises them.
Be great if you could get an insight into the club, but when was the last time anyone from the board did an interview with either Codalmighty or Humberside?

Was thinking possibly both but certainly printed.  Perhaps also as an ebook with a subscription. Just in early planning stages atm
