Issue 20 of the fanzine is on sale today. £2 at the club.
In this issue there is an interview with Tim Ryan, Chester City's last captain, a look back at Macca, moaning about postponements, awful jokes and much more...

I find this too self indulgent for my constitution.

Neil Bellis produces it, I believe. Amazing how board members can communicate on here when it suits.

Perhaps it contains his resignation letter? As he is reading this perhaps he could give us a board view on a new thread. I will wait... |

Criticism of the board is justified, but I feel that to do it on this thread is harsh. Creating and editing a fanzine is doing something useful for the club, especially since profits go to the club. It is a very good fanzine as well.
There's nothing stopping fans setting up their own zine if they want to provide an alternative voice.
This is the sort of thread that makes people think that whatever they do, they'll get slaughtered for it, which in turn leads to a lack of people putting their name forward in the first place.

In the context is is justifed. In the mire and there is a post, likely from Bellis, asking for two quid to buy that. Communications apparently is the forte, and this is the comms we get. Either he is doing that knowing how it looks or is clueless. Neither are confidence inspiring for someone in his position. What is the print run and where is it printed? |

I picked up a copy of the Fanzine at the game today for the first time as I was interested to read what Tim Ryan had to say.
I will be buying it again and credit to those that have produced it, worth £2 that will go back into the club and the community.
There is actually an assessment from Neil Bellis regarding why the board did not sack McCarthy at the end of last season. For those that didn't pick up a copy, a few soundbites:
- Jon McCarthy was a lovely man (why wasn't I surprised to see this?)
- the board decided to back McCarthy at the end of last season because it was felt many of the issues the club had towards the end of the season were out of Jon's control (namely injuries, suspensions). The time when McCarthy had a fully fit squad at the start of last season we performed very well.
Interesting piece from Neil in the Editorial - doesn't have a particularly high opinion of posters on here. Acknowledges that communication is constantly criticised but states the main issue with this is that people are not liking/sharing/commenting on Twitter and Facebook, so people outside of the Chester fanbase are not seeing the stuff. Personally think he has missed the point on this as it's the board communicating with those already engaged (the hardcore) which is the main problem and gripe of many fans.
