Hi all, I'm moving to NYC on Sunday for six months - as a lifelong Saints fan I'm pleased to have found this and can't wait to get involved! I work in media, from Winchester originally. I've joined the FB group too - see you in the Legends Bar. Will

Hi, we will be selling issue 5 - a special one for Saints v United - before and after the game tomorrow. It includes: - bumper interview with Francis Benali - an eye-opening account of Cortese's dinner parties - a fan looks back on Saints v United clashes - Prof Bedford and nostalgia corner articles Cover below, would be great if you could get one, only a £1, perfick for your half time needs.

Thanks for that um Pahars, that is a direction we are moving in for the next issue and will definitely be having some more light-hearted content. We are managing to shift a fair few although it varies from issue to issue, low hundreds. Having just seen the draw, may have to try and get one out for then!

Fanzine four on sale tomorrow befiore and after the Pool game tomorrow, £1 as ever. See us opposite the King Alf and on Melbourne Rd, Britannia Rd after the game. Cheers, Will

Deppo, on a serious note we are always looking to have more contributors. Feel free to PM me the first edition of "Deppo's Tedious Unfunny Column," the more irreverent the better. Hamster, a letters page is something we are considering as a lot of other fanzines have them and they make good reading. I may try and get something together for the next issue, either by advertsising for letters on here or elsewhere. PM me the first if you want. And Noodles, feedback is the most useful thing we could ask for at this stage, so don't worry about being harsh - and, as above, please PM me ideas if you want to get involved. And generally, we will be selling issue 4 before the Blackpool game on Melbourne St, which leads to the Chapel Stand, and on Northam Rd, opposite the King Alfred pub. Afterwards, we will be on Britannia Rd. We have found these places to have the best walkthroughs but try out diffrent places. Cheers, Will

Hi Noodles, thanks for the critique and honesty is preferred to fake praise! We will try and move in that direction as you are not the first to have said it - having said that, I have had far more people say they enjoy the fanzine due to its positive nature and don't want to see the "upsetting the establishment, the management, the board and the players, and the fans" you mention. A lot of people said they stopped buying previous fanzines because of the constant board-bashing and negativity and like the fact we are trying something new. Totally respect your point of view though. And RE the cover - I think the irony may have passed you by. It is meant to be a joke on the fact that for all the 125 celebrations and talk of a fresh start, the season has been weighed down by familiar themes of the past ie managerial change, ownership uncertainty and a crap start. Cheers for giving us a go tho!

Hello everyone, issue four will go on sale before the Hudds game tomorrow. Cover below, and it features... - Saintsweb article (featuring mr steve grant) - candid interview with echo journalist Adam Leitch - xmas quiz - Interviews with 50s keeper john christie and 'flash' gordon watson. - Articles on cortese, tactics, the academy and league one in general. Only £1, we will be covering all the main routes to the stadium on it would be great if you could pick up a copy and give us a try. As said before, we are just a group of fans who wanted to bring a fanzine back to the club and are very positive- See you tomo! Will http://www.thesaintsfanzine.com

Thanks a lot guys for helping out. And sotonjoe, issue 4 on sale at xmas (prob dec 28 game).

Hi, details in the heading really. Exploring the forum and its history for a feature article in the xmas edition and just wanted everyone's thoughts on a couple of things. - What purpose do you think football fan forums serve and what makes them so popular? - What makes the Saints Forum in particular so popular - what do you like about it most? If you post anything, can you state if you don't want it to be quoted in the article. Would be good to get range of member's opinions. Also, can you email me at thesaintsfanzine@gmail.com if you fancy being fan of the month. Cheers, Will
