Dear All,
I am afraid the fanzine is not going to be out until the Sheffield United home game.
I was working on it with my friend until the early hours last night but in the end made the decision to hold it back.
Firstly, we could not open the file that the advert from The Large One was on, which I wanted included.
The front cover was ok, but I didnt think that the resolution of pic we had did either Roz's photography or Biscuit's design justice. It looked ok..ish but I wanted it to be perfect and was also aware that for Roz in particular, her reputation might be judged on the photos we had used and I did not want to repay her generosity by printing a sub standard copy.
I also have pm'd 'Dave the Gaffer' because I thought we should include something about the lady from the club shop who was killed. There was a message on the board from her family and I felt that this, accompanied with a few lines about her was something which would be nice to include. I obviously needed to ask Dave if we could get permission for this.
I appreciate that the march will now be a great chance missed to flog them, but I want the fanzine to be as good as it can be which, given the extra week before the Sheffield United game, hopefully it will be.
This is not through lack of effort on the part of myself or my friend (who incidentally has worked on it all week despite being off work very ill). Please if anyone is thinking of having a pop at me because of this can they just realise that nobody is as gutted about this as me and that at the end of the day, at least it will get out.
Please can people keep the 'I told you it would be crap because Richie is in charge' to themselves. It is precisely because I do not want it to come out and not be as good as it could be that it will not be on sale on Monday.
Sorry again,
Richie
