Latest Fanzine Out On Sunday |
|
It’s that time of the season again people, when strange men and women approach you on the streets surrounding White Rock pleading for pound coins for youth development. Yes, the mag Stadco couldn’t gag is back – issue 5 of ‘A Touch Far Vetched!’ is hot off the press and ready for sale before the Walsall match on Sunday. Once again sellers will be positioned around the ground and, dependent on numbers, the following landmarks will be covered by at least one salesperson:-
As ever we are looking to raise much needed money for the Youth Development department within Swansea City Football Club. Fundraising from sources such as the fanzine has become even more important since the recent announcement by the Government that it is axing millions of pounds of funding for youth football from next season – a move that will cost the Swans around £138,000 a year. So please, if you see a seller on Sunday, part with a pound – it isn’t much and probably won’t be missed by you but every single penny is going to be needed to groom the stars of OUR future! And once you’ve coughed up a quid we’ll let you have a copy of the best fanzine yet…issue 5 is packed with the usual mixture of biting sarcasm and incisive argument. There are a couple of new writers this time around too as well as a new ‘Mr Angry’ column from yours truly. Here are a couple of snippets to whet your appetite:- Bocado Del Plomo on Rory Fallon In a climate where purse strings pull tighter than a botox enema, the initial reaction to what appears to be a raven-rinsed version of Paul Connor is one of disbelief considering the £250k net loss with no identifiable improvement on the blonde milksop. Jobcentrejack on Tom Williams Few were impressed when we moved for the Gillingham leftie. Hordes of Pikeys gloating about actually getting money for him only made things worse. How wrong they were! Newportjack on White Rock girlies It was observed that at the Yeovil game, played in sub-zero temperatures in November, a young lady was seen leaving the East Stand in a very, very short skirt, but with a pair of legs so blue they could have been mistaken for a Cardiff City fan’s camera tripod! We’ve also got a cracking competition this time round in which you can win four Premier Gold seats for the Southend match courtesy of Teamforce UK Ltd – not only that, the winner will also receive free admission for four at the new Paintball Centre recently opened by Teamforce in Felindre. If you don’t manage to get a copy of ‘ATFV!’ on Sunday then never fear, we’ll be on sale again before the Brentford match next Friday and there are copies available from Good News stores in Uplands, Morriston and Swansea Market. You can also buy online, safely and securely, from the ‘A Touch Far Vetched!’ website, which can be found at www.atfv.co.uk. ‘A Touch Far Vetched!’ has raised more than £1,000 for Youth Development so far, thanks to your support. Please carry on buying and reading – your contribution does make a difference.
