First Came Football Phone-Ins Then Fanzines, Blogs & Now…?

[Tudor]

Before the Internet was even thought of football fans had to reply on radio phone-ins to express their points of view and feelings (clubs would never listen to their fan base). Around 25-years ago, or more came fanzines. Then low and behold, around 12 years ago and the birth of the Interweb saw the invention of blogs. The evolution continues!

So, what is the next step?

Before we can look to the future we need to step back and take a peep at the past.

Football phone-ins still continue (606 still broadcasts on BBC Radio 5 Live (I think) and talkSPORT still pumps out hours upon hours of call-in shows), but what about the good old fashioned football fanzine? Are they extinct?

Almost, expect there is one still managing to cling onto the past.

Interesting piece. It will always be forums for me, the rest don't provide a good enough platform for discussion or debate.

I still buy King of the Kippax but Just out of habit. It's way out of date by the time I get it.

I agree Rising I think King of the Kippax is the only one still going though and is on sale on match days.

KOTK is the only City fanzine I can think of.

KOTK. Lol long long time since I read one.
I like the forum but please don't get too modern or I'll be completely lost.
