Phil… what other possible names were there for TWTD when you launched? 16:19 - Jun 22 with 1657 views | Matt_Netherlands | Just thinking we must he quite rare to have our main forum ( / fanzine) with a name that mentions nothing to do with a club nickname, local area etc etc. And for anyone else… if you were starting up again from scratch what else would you call TWTD? |  | | |  |
Phil… what other possible names were there for TWTD when you launched? on 16:25 - Jun 22 with 1599 views | Illinoisblue | Wasn’t the TWTD name taken from the original paper fanzine (not sure if Phil or Gav were involved) and which itself was based on fans of that era - early 90s - harking back to the good old days. |  |

Dribble was good. Think there was one called Blue which didn’t last long. |  |

Phil and Gav took it online after a couple of other print 'owners'. Dribble and Blue were the other fanzines but TWTD was more consistent in terms of decent quality articles. |  | |  |

A Load of Cobbolds too. If anyone is in or passing through Leeds there a nice little exhibition in the library on fanzines and fan culture. Be warned though, there is a large Duncan Forbes flag. http://libraries.leeds.gov.uk/what-you-can-do/voice-fans-exhibition |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

Indeed, it started in 1989/90 and we didn't get involved until late 1994. |  | |  |

Didn’t you change to TATD briefly (presumably 2000/01) or am I imaging that / getting confused with an urban myth? |  |

It amalgamated with TWTD when the other Phil and Gav took over. |  | |  |

Yes, when we finished fifth, in response to Richard Wright commenting that even the fanzine harks back to the Robson era. We switched back once the new season started. |  | |  |

It did cause us problems with one or two people at the club arguing we were 'just a fanzine' when we were trying to get access, hence we promoted TWTD rather than the full name in an NME or GQ sort of way. |  | |  |

Do you find that you (and TWTD) are now treated with respect by the club? Are there still people at the club who still view TWTD as just a fanzine? |  | |  |

Sadly not, at least as far as I could see. It's only a couple of rooms and being in Leeds it's a bit LUFC loaded. |  | |  |
Phil… what other possible names were there for TWTD when you launched? on 22:01 - Jun 22 with 207 views | BlueandTruesince82 | If i were starting a town fanzine it would be called No more Paul's. If the club, TWTD or blue action produced any No more Paul's merch I'd buy it. If we had a firm, it should also be called No more Paul's with stickers to plaster all the towns we plundered |  |
