New Magazine

**compo** · 03/04/2005, 6:32 PM

Hi folks. Just to inform you; there's a new magazine just been launched. It's called Munster Soccer, a monthly run on a shoestring budget. Should be in several newsagents in the Munster area by now. Eason's will have it, as well as several small stores.
It's not by a big business, it's by a few fans and students.

What will be in it ??

All levels of football ?? And who will be ditributing it ??

Well, it aint in Easons, nor Reids.

I'm that desperate for a local football mag. I'm thinking of doing my own... Anyone with me?!

Mind you, after the way Spotter went, is there really a market for a local mag?

It's in Eason's. News Brothers are distributing it. A lot of smaller shops, too.
If you want to get involved, PM me.

David Ludzic did Spotter full-time. I'm still holding onto the day job.
Looking for people outside Cork to contribute, too. It's meant to cover Munster, Ludzic concentrated on Cork.

Congratulations -- and best of luck with it.
One query: why only Munster?

Love to hear of what is going on in Tipp and Kerry .... if you could approach someone for a few clubs there it would be great, give us a bit of insight.

I know that Leonard O'Hanlon (ex. Waterford United player 25yrs ago) is teaching in CIT if you wanted him to shine some light on anything for you.

Is there are footie up in Clare ??

In my opinion, you'd want to start contacting every programme editor and journalist in Munster to get support content wise.
Also ... you'd want to get every league table and fixture onto your pages and be the source of info for that.

These lads are cleaning up ..... the least they could do is run a �2000 advert for the year, at the very least.

Nightowls, Shipping League etc. ...... have info for all of them.

If theres any games involving munster teams in dublin let me know and ill gladly report on them

Why only Munster guys ? It's only the 3rd most populous province in the country, ffs !

I really hope this magazine works, but given that national ones with significant coverage of the Inetrnational squad couldn't last the distance I'd be surprised if it did.

Good luck with it. Will try and get my hands on a copy when I'm next over.
