Great idea

Haven't seen a copy yet but howzabout a monthly article on the GREATS of Trinity. Neil Fox, Rocky Turner Harold Poynton Mick Exley et al. Some of the young fans might like to read about some of the heroes of us old 'uns.

Great Idea - any way I can get it sent to Australia each month MC?

A great idea.

The only thing I would add is that people shouldn't post the contents on here. It is another way of engaging with supporters, and an income stream, and it will wither and die if people merely have to visit this forum to get the contents.

This is just absurd, so I can buy the magazine but I have to keep quiet about everything I read, shall I check with all my mates that they have read it before I engage in conversation with them?

You have mates?

There's discussing the contents and there's posting screenshots and lifting whole sections, so that people have no need to buy it to read it. People get the differences.

In an internet world where everything seems free, some things die off when the exercise becomes pointless.

This is good idea - but it does seem a miss that an electronic version isn't available; I would imagine more magazine subscriptions are consumed that way these days?

Maybe it will come later?

Can everyone join me in wishing HV a very happy birthday for earlier in the week. I was going to create a thread but it slipped my mind, old age

I don't think I've ever seen anything like that done before. Following MC's interview earlier in the week I posted asking for peoples thoughts and that sort of thread would do exactly what you're saying. I'd suggest people simply being more vigilant when posting threads and add *spoilers* or something, similar to when the news mutt on here posts the Origin write up in every clubs page.

That's kinda what I meant.

Talking about it = good
Posting extracts = bad

Just shows how the cost of producing and printing has plummeted in recent years. As little as 10 years ago even an organisation as rich as the NRL needed all teams to club together to produce a weekly magazine!

To Bren, all mags publish as pdf’s these days so effectively an on line version is already there. The trick is to ensure that one download is for one person. In which case it’s an encrypted pdf or more modern an app. Both take a bit more development, but I assume it will come.

Me personally I like some paper reading matter, much more fun to collect.

Is there a subscription service?

Just been and got my season ticket and I bought the magazine it is well worth the £2

It’s a good little publication. Well laid out and written. Nice posters for the kids in the middle which is something my lad has been wanting for years. He’s also sat reading the player information and if they hopefully put the player stats in for the year then it’ll be a bargain for £2

I’m sure it will be a success, it’s an in house good news story vehicle so no one is expecting Pulitzer nominations but I’m impressed

Just a word of warning. Barnsley FC started a similar, very glossy and classy looking monthly magazine about twelve years ago. Very well produced and interesting as it was, after the euphoria of the first few issues the interest started to dwindle and after about two years it was no more. I'm not a killjoy and I'll be buying my copy for as long as the publication keeps going. I just don't want to happen to Mighty Trin as did the previous venture by Barnsley. Good luck with the venture.

It might have been because it was in joined up writing Redscat

..... only codding

Fortunately, It was mainly pictures, BLM

You can now order it on line though I do think the £2 postage is a bit steep! I’ll still buy it because it’s easier than going to town for me but it might be worth looking at the postal price MC



It’s £1.20 second class, I for one can wait 3 days. Just a suggestion

I can understand a little where you’re coming from FC but It’ll cost at least a quid to park any where in Wakefield and god knows how much on a bus so 2 quids not to bad when you break it down.

On the other side of the coin,there’s a chance that people might buy some other merchandise whilst in the shop if you do nip into the shop , a win win.

.. there is also the cost of the envelope to take into consideration.

After this issue, I feel that most will pick it up at the ground on match days

No it’s not and as I say I’ll pay it but it will put some off. The main point is that 2nd class post could be an option, I think it’s assumed these days that everything is needed next day and in this case it probably isn’t, just a suggestion.

BLM, if you want me to get you one, it won’t cost me owt on bus, I have an OAP bus pass, it’ll cost you more than £2 on petrol in that big cat of yours, no you save your money let an old codger go. You young uns don’t know you’re born.
