LeazesMag 0 Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 picked up this last week ie someone left a copy on a seat in the club so I took it - it seems quite good, different to the Mag and much better than the shitrag True Faith. Since I stopped writing for the Mag, and the demise of Talk of the Tyne/Toon, I've stopped buying fanzines but I quite like this. Does anybody else read this ?

Mark Jensen doesn't own this shop anymore, does he ? Assuming he doesn't, I'll pop in and find out how many issues there have been and get a few more.

colinh9 0 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Got a few copies from the Back Page when I was over there- good reading. Why is it that people don't particularly like True Faith? I don't subscribe but I've always enjoyed the website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 17828 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 True Faith is no worse/better than the Mag imo but has the advantage of fitting in your back pocket. Pretty much much all fanzines are redundant nowadays though anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveTheBobby 1 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 What name did you write under for The Mag like Leazes ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCOREBOARD1 0 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 I think the Mag has been going downhill for a while. Always thought True Faith was quality. Used to like the old Black nWhite from donkeys years ago. Jims bald heed n toon army news were canny too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeazesMag 0 Posted July 18, 2012 Author Share Posted July 18, 2012 (edited) I think the Mag has been going downhill for a while. Always thought True Faith was quality. Used to like the old Black nWhite from donkeys years ago. Jims bald heed n toon army news were canny too. The Mag has been going downhill since I stopped writing for it I think True Faith is a shite layout, and apart from Paully, the articles are all written like a student rag style ie childish, alternative, look at me aren't I a clever cunt. Which they are not. Whatever, I bought a few copies to read on the train home after games when I lived in Scarborough, but ultimately it was because I'd had a few pints, and there was nowt else to read after the Pink finished and got bored with it. I thought Talk of the Tyne/Toon was class though, but it stopped being published because - I think - they got into financial trouble through forwarding money to the printers or something. Could be wrong about that. Edited July 18, 2012 by LeazesMag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
