rickylambert Posted 3 October, 2016 Posted 3 October, 2016 Afternoon All, You may remember seeing a thread about 6 months ago, on the idea of a new Saints Fanzine. I equpied the thread with a fancy questionaire and many of you helped me out by taking part in it. Well, today 300 silky copies arrived at my desk. With the help of Simon Peach, Chris Rann (Writer of blog 'George Weah's Cousin') as well as Glen de la Cour (Writer of 'League One Minus Ten') and The Guardian's Shaul Adar, I've managed to put together this witty publication. The best bit is that all 'proceeds' will end up in the pockets of Southampton General's neurology ward, one of the UK's finest. So, if you can afford a few of quid for a great cause, We'd all be very appreciative:http://www.owts.bigcartel.com
rickylambert Posted 3 October, 2016 Author Posted 3 October, 2016 (edited) Thank you to those who've ordered. I will send them 2nd class tommorow morning. Keep orders coming! Edited 6 October, 2016 by rickylambert
Doctoroncall Posted 3 October, 2016 Posted 3 October, 2016 I went for the top selling item in the end. Couldn't resist!
dronskisaint Posted 3 October, 2016 Posted 3 October, 2016 Compliments on the site...dead easy to use even for a Luddite like me! Look forward to receiving :-)
rickylambert Posted 3 October, 2016 Author Posted 3 October, 2016 I'm glad! The platforms called "BigCartel" really easy to set up as well.
beatlesaint Posted 3 October, 2016 Posted 3 October, 2016 Why does it want a shipping charge and address for a PDF copy ? what have I missed ?
rickylambert Posted 3 October, 2016 Author Posted 3 October, 2016 Why does it want a shipping charge and address for a PDF copy ? what have I missed ? I knew someone would clock this, I can't find a way to edit shipping costs depeding on how you order, thats why it's only 50p for a copy on PDF.
rickylambert Posted 3 October, 2016 Author Posted 3 October, 2016 Just in case anyone was wondering...I'll have sellers at the Burnley, Inter and Chelsea home games as well as 300 Ltd Edition copies to be sold on our night at the San Siro!
Sergei Gotsmanov Posted 3 October, 2016 Posted 3 October, 2016 Great idea to mix a good cause with a good read. Where can I buy it locally?

Lazlo78 Posted 3 October, 2016 Posted 3 October, 2016 PDF copy purchased. Stupid question: how/when do I receive it? I assumed it would be attached to the confirmation mail...
rickylambert Posted 3 October, 2016 Author Posted 3 October, 2016 PDF copy purchased. Stupid question: how/when do I receive it? I assumed it would be attached to the confirmation mail... It will be emailed to you when I'm in front of my laptop. Still trying to work out how to get it sent automatically. Should be with you by 9.30 though!

adamlallana Posted 4 October, 2016 Posted 4 October, 2016 Read it this morning and last night- really well written articles. Particularly liked the info about our Europa League opponents. Hope the orders are coming through thick and fast! Easily one of the best fanzines I've read. Well done to the person who organised it all and to get a few big names to write something. All to a good cause too!

trousers Posted 5 October, 2016 Posted 5 October, 2016 Just went to order a copy but saying only PDF option available? Is that right? Would prefer an original printed copy to a PDF if poss.
rickylambert Posted 5 October, 2016 Author Posted 5 October, 2016 Just went to order a copy but saying only PDF option available? Is that right? Would prefer an original printed copy to a PDF if poss. Yes, we've sold out of printed copies for now, but another 100 have been ordered. We'll be at a few games as well.
Sydenhampton Posted 5 October, 2016 Posted 5 October, 2016 I miss the old days of paper fanzines. Back in the day when outside the Dell you could by the Ugly, On The March (& even Devalued) were days now gone. You could even pop up to SportsPages in London to pick up zines from other clubs, I used to get plenty. Normally I wouldn't want a PDF copy but have 2 flights in 2 days from Mexico coming up so this will do nicely! I have ordered & look forward to reading it. Thanks in advance for taking the time to put it together.
billyb Posted 6 October, 2016 Posted 6 October, 2016 Yes, we've sold out of printed copies for now, but another 100 have been ordered. We'll be at a few games as well. Will you let us know when the reprint can be ordered on line please.
rickylambert Posted 6 October, 2016 Author Posted 6 October, 2016 Will you let us know when the reprint can be ordered on line please. Will do, expecting copies on Friday, I'll be at the nxt few home games though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
billyb Posted 6 October, 2016 Posted 6 October, 2016 Will do, expecting copies on Friday, I'll be at the nxt few home games though. I'd prefer to order online and secure a copy, so will watch for the update.
Noodles34 Posted 6 October, 2016 Posted 6 October, 2016 I hope its a **** take fanzine and not a sterile alternative to the match day magazine. Back in the day it was about dodgy away trips and players' crap haircuts or clothes (or ugly girlfriends). Football has changed so much now, the players, the fans and the match day experience, so i'm not sure you could replicate the culture as was done in the 80's and 90's.
Noodles34 Posted 6 October, 2016 Posted 6 October, 2016 OTM had an intervirew with the infamous Bob Higgins, who was the agent for the Wallace bros. It was very enlightening but can you imagine a fanzine going round to an agents house these days and getting that kind of coup?
Holbury Saint Posted 6 October, 2016 Posted 6 October, 2016 I ordered and paid for mine on Monday but still hasn't arrived yet in post. I thought they were going out first class?
The9 Posted 6 October, 2016 Posted 6 October, 2016 I ordered and paid for mine on Monday but still hasn't arrived yet in post. I thought they were going out first class? Reading between the lines, all the paper versions were sent yesterday.
rickylambert Posted 6 October, 2016 Author Posted 6 October, 2016 I ordered and paid for mine on Monday but still hasn't arrived yet in post. I thought they were going out first class? Sorry, some went out Tuesday, some on Wednesday. You'll get it tomorrow. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
