One F in Falmer

[Turkey]

Thank you to everyone who bought a copy. I really hope you enjoyed it. So far we've sold 821 copies. 100 copies were taken to the club shop - how many have been sold/remain I couldn't tell you. I have just under 80 copies left which are going very quickly by postal order.

If you would like a copy email me. turkey@brightonfans.com

So far we've made about £400 for the F.F.A. Fund.

Many, many thanks to everyone who turned out to sell it too. Marvellous scenes!

I'm going into Brighty in a minute and I'll get an early sales report from the shop.

 

[Another Berkshire Seagull]

I thought it was a great read....well done all the contributors and sellers

 

[Brighton Breezy]

Thankyou to everyone who turned up to sell and who wrote for the fanzine. Sorry I couldnt be there, will be in Sheffield to flog any remaining copies.
Turkey, I have emailed you with regards to buying some via post, please save ten aside for me.

What did everyone think about it?

Will we need to print more?

 

[poke]

well done everyone. was alot better than i imagined it to be.

 

[SeagullSimon]

how much turkey - £1 + p&p ??

 

[CAFC Matt]

I was in it AND bought one

how much turkey - £1 + p&p ??

Yeah. £1.38.

 

[Yorkie]

I reckon we should print more. About 200?

 

[Brighton Breezy]

I agrew Yorkie. If we have made £400 we should use that to print some more and then whatever we make from them should be given to FFA Fund

 

[Lady Bracknell]

I'd go steady for a while on another print run. I'll check with the printers for costs but there's always a danger that one hugely successful fanzine selling day leaves you assuming that the unmet demand is equally huge. Which is rarely is!

And given that the profits are going to the Falmer campaign it'd be a great shame to make inroads into them in order to fund an over-optimistic additional print run. I'd advise waiting a few days and seeing how the shop sales go.

This fanzine is about making money for the cause first and foremost. So rather than putting the really decent amount we've made for that cause at risk, I'd suggest someone should actually underwrite an extra print run.

I thought it was strong stuff, in particular the article about Norman Baker but perfectly justified.

With 2 of NSC's finest ever posters imho, Easy 10 and Tom Hark writing pieces how could it possibly fail ?.

 

[The Large One]

A re-print of 200 would work out horribly disproprtionate in terms of cost per copy.

e.g. If, for example, you had 1,000 printed, it might cost say £600 (60p each). An extra 200 now (it is a very low number) could work out as much as £1.50 each. An extra 1,000 on the initial print run may only cost an extra £40. But that's not a reflection of anyone's lack of vision. More to the point that suffice it to say, anyone who has a copy (I bought one but probably sold it again - that's £2 in the coffers) has a genuine collectors' item.

BTW does Tim Carder have one for the Historians' Society?

 

[Lush]

i agree re reprint. Would be better to have a "We got Falmer!" how-we-got-our-new-stadium celebration fanzine in a month's time.!!!!!!!

We hit EVERYONE on Sat. There aren't that many people who were deprived of the chance to buy a copy.

 

[Lady Bracknell]

BTW does Tim Carder have one for the Historians' Society?

I believe he has a copy pf his own but I've also kept a copy specially for the Historians' Society.

Steady on old boy, I'm not going to get out of the door at this rate.

 

[Marc]

ordered one from Turkey as I was'nt at the match on saturday, cant wait to read it actually! Especially as Easy10 has a piece in it

 

[Eddie the Seagull]

The fanzine was awesome - The 'My first match - an optomistic vision of the Albion in 2006/7 through the eyes of a 10 year old' by GRITT23 almost bought tears to my eyes.

f***ing well done to everyone.

 

[Brighton Breezy]

Agreed, no reprint. Got a bit carried away.

 

[albiongirl]

Well done to every one involved it was a quality read.
