The Sunnylaw Jag Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 Yes, the legendary issue that made a fleeting appearance at Firhill on October 4th before our esteemed or is it steaming Editor had to make a hasty back to the institution without walls that is East Kilbride is now available. I have just returned from a North Atlantic cruise via the rough seas of the Bay of Biscay, where I was not only Sick in the Basin but also in any receptacle that was handy. Today I was able to get my hands on some copies and have listed them on ebay. However, as usual you can buy direct from me using Paypal. Price is £2 and £1 postage. Issues 2-8 are available at £1.00 each and will be posted for 30p extra in total. Issue one remains a collectors item and as yet hasn't been reprinted. Also available is the Scotland fanzine Scotland Epistles, Bullshit & Thistles, just pm for further details if you need them.  http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SICK-IN-THE-BASIN-9-PARTICK-THISTLE-FANZINE-OCTOBER-2014-/381024230982?ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Nixon Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 How were sales of Scotland Epistles over the weekend? Any feedback? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sunnylaw Jag Posted October 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 Sales weren't too great but it is a different dynamic altogether. At Firhill just about everybody knows what SITB is, even if they don't buy it. At Ibrox, people didn't have a clue what we were selling. It's also hard to publicise, although we have mentioned it on fans forums, social media, no one seems to follow up on the original posting and it quickly disappears from view etc. any attempts to get some recognition from conventional media has been forlorn thus far. We did manage to sell around 90 altogether but that was several hours hard work achieving that. The other thing about the Scotland support I think is on the day there's a whole social aspect beyond that which you get on a club matchday i.e. a few beers with the mates you see each week, instead a whole raft of beers with friends you only see at Scotland games. Feedback has also been hard to get also. I have sold 56 on ebay and generally the feedback from that has been really positive but it hasn't transferred on to the Tartan Army Message Board etc., where the only comment was it was "shyte". I have contacted poeple who bought it and enjoyed to ask them to spread the word but if they have it hasn't been on social media. Thanks for asking and despite the big loss we might end up making on this, Robert Marshall and myself and Alan Nelson are looking to bring out an issue two in March 2015. If anyone has any thoughts or connections that could help it would be really appreciated as we had hoped that if we could get into profit, this would then go to charity.

The Sunnylaw Jag Posted October 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 Just a reminder that the man from Fritzerland will be selling these at the game tomorrow. It's just what you need for that boring journey back from dark, dreich Dundee to read. Here's hoping for a Jags win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sunnylaw Jag Posted October 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 Okay I forgot to say I will have issues 2-8 on sale tomorrow for £1 each. I will also have the mighty Scotland Epistles also, that costs only £3 for 48 stonking (I said stonking) pages. I will be around JHS entrance and somewhere in the concourse at half time. Introduce yourself and say hello. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sunnylaw Jag Posted October 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 I won't be at the game tonight as I'm working however I believe Fritz will be in attendance and will be selling issue 9 at the game. Issue ten will probably be out at the St. Mirren game on 8th but I will update you on this as we go along. C'mon the Jags the semi finals await!

The Sunnylaw Jag Posted November 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2014 Fritz will unveiling a large SITB banner today but may also be selling some copies of SITB numero 9. I'm coming from work so will be getting the train from Anniesland at 14.17 so won't have time to sell before the match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sunnylaw Jag Posted November 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 Next issue will be out for the Aberdeen game. Our editor decided due to the international break to hold it back 'til then. Sounds plausible, I think he was up to too much ' Down East Kilbride Dickering' myself!
