fatcalf Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 "Wish You Were Here!" shouts the cover headline but how many wish we were somewhere else right now. It's still holiday time for many but the serious action gets underway this week, like it or not. There's something not quite right about having to rush through the first OSB of the season inbetween packing bags to go away but that's exactly what happened at the start of July. The ramifications of the early start to the SPL season certainly hit home with the realisation there were just 3 days to collate everything to get it to the printer before the train taking us off on our family hols left the station. Upon our return there was the box waiting for distribution, unfortunately too late for the Leeds game but plenty for the dropping off to the shops and sending off to the mailing list type thing. So you lot buying it on Saturday are a little bit behind the times. Neve fear though, there are no free gifts in the form of chocolates which are going to melt on you or go past their sell by date, just a good old fashioned moany faced, tub thumping, have a pop at anyone you like fanziney type........erm, fanzine. Basically your normal bog standard, favourite bog read, One Step Beyond. Big Pie deserves a mention in the blurb cos his contribution arrived after I'd printed off the credits, caught me out he did. Cue hurried changing of the running order before posting but as we always seem to do, we got there in the end and your usual 40 pages of guff will be on sale, still at the pegged price of £1, outside the Fir Park Club, Cooper Stand & East Stand turnstiles from 2pm. We did consider a price rise but once again decided to buck the trend, hopefully we reap the rewards of that with a surge of interest towards the cheapest publication you'll find this weekend anywhere near Fir Park.
