Cheers for the endorsement Brooking. I think it was Oscar Wilde that observed that the time to be concerned is when they’ve got nothing to say about you.
Pleased to note that, of the comments made in this string, the majority are in favour of OLAS which is widely recognised as being of pretty good quality.

For the record, contributors to olas do it gratis – for the love of the club, with the editor, publishers and matchday sellers splitting any profits.

OLAS is a fans mag that bites! 9 time out of 10 they write the worst on what could be seen two ways. I wish the mag could be more positive on most issues! It also uses swear words for swearing sake, why? Stick to the match day programme and at least you know where your money is going. Better to be ripped of by the club then those prats who think they know more then you and really dont!
To prove my point, read a few of the Headmasters comments, clueless!

on a different topic, if there is a realistic chance of getting gudjonsen , as is starting to be mentioned in media , that to me would be a very good acquisition. the ability to have 4 quality strikers at our disposal would put us in a good position to make real progress this season, even taking into account the inevitable injuries and suspensions.

U gotta love a bit of OLAS on a matchday, used to like the programme, but over the past few seasons its just become wank really, especially the ‘new look’ ‘larger than life size’,…crap doeasnt even fit in ur pocket proply. neva mind. OLAS writes about what the fans believe and who the fans believe will improve ‘our’ club. the insults are quite funny and whitty as well ‘mancscum’ ‘the arse’ ‘yidscum’ and the rest are pretty humerous. Keep up the good work with OLAS…c’mon u Irons!

regarding OLAS , agree fully with headmaster. the readership has gone up considerably in recent years ,which says it all. anyone who has read the fanzine over the last 2 seasons will tell you that language really isn t an issue. look at what the fanzine is now ,which is different to what it was 5 to 10 years ago. not that i m not biased or anything ,as a regular contributor.

Dan – intereting take on OLAS. Plainly wrong, but interesting.
The sales of OLAS relative to the club’s matchday glossy does I believe tell a more reflective story.
Not sure about the insults mate either. As a middle class (?) regular contributor, and presumably therefore one of the twots, I try to write incisively and with wit and passion. I’m not sure whether I am desparate to become working class, what ever that is (when I last thought about this I concluded that since I need to go to work every day to put food on the table and pay back Barclays for their very generous mortgage, I s’pose I must already be working class) but I certainly enjoy writing in the fanzine, in the same way that I enjoy responding on Iain’s blog.
Incidentally, Iain – thanks for your comments re olas and keep up the good work.
