We could do with this being Commandeer Warnock as he amasses some more troops.

Cost of printing now is far less than when the fanzine began in the 1980s and 1990s. It is a very small sum now. The main battle is not between online and printed it is free and paid for. There has been a real revival in (fan) zine culture and also a sense that people want tactile magazines and even books, kindles have not killed off books, although ironically they usually pay far more to authors. We original fanzines cling to print because that is surely one of the essences of being a fanzine. Smithy the editor of the most prolific fanzine of all time, The Oatcake, Stoke finally gave up the ghost in 2018 saying he would never take it online and having produced well over 650 issues and 30 years in the job I think he had earned his retirement. He did have a website as well, including a very popular message board.
But there aren't too many fanzines wholly online, they may make the switch but I don't think too many stay the course for very long. You can tell I am not certain about this and that is the point they immediately become even more obscure. It is a bigger world the cyber world.

Cheers Capy - if anyone is looking at email fanzine - especially overseas - as postage can cost more than the fanzine -

Giving this another bump up top.
Printed paper subscriptions - UK rate only - and email subscriptions available (I only have four of those so far).
Many thanks - hoping for a big push next week to allow us to continue the misson, with Warnock.

As we move towards the end of August and on towards the start of September and so with it the return of football.. please get behind Fly Me To The Moon as we continue our mission - for the fans by the fans.. or is it the other way around. After over 30 years I still forget.

I am appealing again for subscribers - am committing to going again next season but it would be great to get some more on board to support this - you can either subscribe to the paper printed fanzine UK ONLY - you would have to email me for a price overseas.
But if you are abroad you will probably find receiving the fanzine by email as making better sense as postage can be high EMAIL SUBS

We are committing to going ahead - first issue for the Bournemouth game but need to keep on plugging away as it is very hard to reach people. Getting subscribers now saying they have only just seen the plugs.
So, need to do this every day until weekend when the list is drawn up.
If you are overseas please sign up to Fly Me To The Moon - now with more issues under the belt than any other fanzine anywhere in football.
Our task is to entertain and of course challenge. We task ourselves with publishing as much of your output as we can squeeze into the 32 pages every issue.
Fmttm fanzine 1988 - still continuing on the mission. Going further than any fanzine has gone before (well sort of..)

Am now hoping we can get somewhere near to 200 subscribers. Thank you to everyone that has subscribed. Great to be able to go ahead for one more year. And carry the tradition forward again.
Funnily enough I still have less than 30 email subscribers - people obviously prefer the printed paper version - which is really good to know actually and might be a surprise for some.
If anyone overseas would like to receive a fanzine every month then the emailed fmttm is available - it has been for many years - people often ask me why I don't do it but I do. I will post the fanzine abroad as well - it is just that it often costs more in postage than the cost of the zine itself. (£33 total cost to Europe and about £42 USA) - compared to £17 for emailed version.
Here is how to order a subscription to the EMAIL FANZINE

Many thanks Ellen told me. She put out an email for me too yesterday. I did get one new US subscriber yesterday - always struggle to attract North American Boro subscribers.
Thanks Maccarone - over 160 now and over 25 e subscribers.

We will be completing the list of subscribers today for printed paper edition - though of course I can still mail out to anyone that subscribes anytime before Friday should get you it before the game on Saturday.
Anyone living overseas if you would like to take out the email subscription please do - we only have a handful of you and would love some more. We were the national fanzine of the year 2005 - a long time ago now. But that competition finished that year. 1988-2020 we are one of the few survivors of the old originals. And now we have the highest number of issues of any current football fanzine.
