One More Point - 2nd Book (Covering Palace, fanzines in 90s/00s, Goldberg/Jordan era)

vendredi 6 août 2021

First of all, thanks again for the support and patronage for 'Is That The Programme? - Honest Tales from a Palace fanzine editor' since it's release in summer 2020.

Was a big project with a lot of unknowns given the large gap since OMP had been an active fanzine in 2003.

The response was overwhelming and as a result the second book has been underway for the last year.

This will be covering 1996-2003 and include the 1997 promotion, Goldberg debacle, Terry Venables fleecing the club for a second time, the original admin period and the early years of Simon Jordan.

55000 words in and I'm coming up to the craziness of the Venables 6-month stint.

I'd love to hear from anyone who has memories of that crazy period. So many rumours; so many dodgy dealings (remember all those Argentines, most of whom then never showed up?) that I'm determined to get in print so that there's a truthful record of that period.

It's interesting reading the fanzines back from that period just how many times I wrote stuff but left the source anonymous around that time.

Feel free to share your memories of back then.

We made a legitimate effort to get Maradona in summer 1998 just months after making a play to get Gazza (he left Rangers for Middlesbrough in the end - would have loved him to come to Selhurst.)

It's crazy what the club went through specifically in 98-99 and I look forward to hearing any memories you have of then or any other time up to 2003.
