Last year @spiral-tat.bsky.social & @miketyl.bsky.social visited @ozdfest.bsky.social (not the fest, but the person and shop behind it) and bought these wonderful zines for me - thanks a lot!
I hope, I manage to visit that magical place myself one day!

I’ve been to Derry for #LeToMaGiC issue eight, too. I admired the murals, my favourite being the one for Nell McCafferty, was happy to receive a bottle cap from a brewing cooperative called Lacada in Portrush and enjoyed the hospitality at @derrycityfc.net.

I visited Dublin for #LeToMaGiC issue eight, but it seems like the famous #ForgottenZineArchive is no longer operating. Though the @marshslibrary.bsky.social has an even longer history. Footballwise it was a pleasure to watch the @shamrockrovers.ie women to win at home.

I believe this is the only known use of Juan Guzman's famed Marina Ginestà photo during the Spanish Civil War itself, an image which has come this century to represent more than any other the revolutionary hopes of 1936.

It's Thursday so that can mean only one thing, a new blog is up now. This week we look at the links between football fanzines and Subbuteo. Yes, you read that right..

Fanzines and Subbuteo, the perfect match.
On the face of it, a bit of a niche fanzine blog this time; Subbuteo and fanzines. However, as we will see, the two have been strongly linked since the start of the golden (goalden? – Ed) era…

I’ve been to Zürich for #LeToMaGiC issue seven, too.
The brilliant K-Set #ZineLibrary exists more than twenty years now - and the Grasshoppers Club Zürich even longer. I also visited the Cabaret Voltaire, of course.

As Garbarnia Kraków left the league last minute and the Kabel Kraków cup match was relocated to a pitch outside town, I visited Wisła in an European cup match. But I enjoyed exploring the Polish #ZineLibrary even more: www.zinelibrary.pl
