I'd like to see the era of the 'fanzine' return...

Didn't somebody produce/sell them a while back, called Split, Fish & Curry?

Including things like;

*Interview with a supporter
*Terrace talk
*A supporter's write up from the previous game (like DD's day of the match on redvee)
*Latest Flags/Chants
*Quiz

Made by the fans for the fans.

Not sure the club would be too happy mind...

Taking Chair Makers comments a little further since this seems to be about all programmes and not just Saints. You could get a non current coach to analyse how all of the different teams play, strengths and weaknesses, and prepared moves that they like to use, the work that all SL coaching staff will do.

You can then use these as features for the opposition of the day - giving fans a reason to read the programme prior to kick off and things for them to watch out for. This would be recycleable through all of the teams home programmes but each team would only get this once in each of their home programmes so it wouldnt become boring. You could also keep it updated as the season progresses so come playoff time new content would be available.

You could maybe also highlight an opposition player that had been looked at through the eye of a coach for his own personal traits and moves to watch out for.

I bought it once or twice. I'll buy the first couple of the season to see what they're like then.



I like your other ideas but these two are non-starters for me. Just because sex sells and is used to sell doesn't mean we should be adopting it. I'm a bit tired of it being used to sell everything and I believe our sport can rise above it for a club programme. By all means let players get their m00bs out for testimonials but keep the club programme free from such cheap and tacky interludes.

Good idea.
Perhaps we could show transcripts of saints players intercepted phone voicemail messages like News International?

Imagine rerading what the doctor said to gary wheeler on his voicemail or the voice message sir mac left on the chairman of langtree's phone when roofgate "blew" up?

The possibilities are endless!

There was one many years ago called FMM, can't think who made that though

Much improved and plentiful content last season.

Would like to see:

1. 4 page heritage section - obviously relating in part to opponents of the day

2. Lively Letters to the editor

3. Hard talk article on the state of the game (not necessarily those of the Saints)

4. All things Saints in the Community

5. Stats Attack as outlined by CM
