Dinho lad Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Sad state of affairs. Another nail in the coffin regarding fans. How? It's still available online. It's just the way the media world is moving to. Its sad in many ways. I used to love grabbing a copy for train journeys etc. and while the internet is great for articles and such I still personally enjoy reading something tangible and not just digitally all the time. Its also sad because quite clearly the just cannot justify going to print in terms of costs etc. Another thing, other clubs don't seem to have problems publishing fanzines. Other clubs can fuck off. There's nothing better than the Newcastle United way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interpolic Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Think Billy Furious packed it in, they certainly wouldn't have got rid of him. Love his writing.

ponsaelius Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Sad state of affairs. Another nail in the coffin regarding fans. How? It's still available online. It's just the way the media world is moving to. Plenty of people still like reading something tangible like a magazine, newspaper or a book. I can't be fucked with Kindles etc for example. Can't see myself ever preferring them over an actual book. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 I used to buy The Mag and TF religiously for a while but eventually I just found that they dated too quickly. I would buy one before a game and by the time I actually opened it, it was out of date, and where I just wanted to read about issues created by whatever had happened on the pitch that day, I was reading about stuff that had happened weeks ago. It was fighting a losing battle against this place where I can read interesting stuff immediately from people whose views I respect and can engage with. I think forums are the modern fanzines more than digital versions of the traditional ones, although I do still read those regularly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 The Mag used to be great. Still have a fucking massive stack of them that I saved for nostalgic reasons (ie. when I was really mad about NUFC). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree tbh, still feels like a shame though, especially with them saying they were doing fine before the distribution situation changed. Used to still read them now and again and have a bit of nostalgia about the whole thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
