Praise For Well Red Magazine

Dave Kirby - writer, poet, playwright (15 Minutes That Shook The World, Brick Up The Mersey Tunnels)

“Excellent proper red read. For content and honest opinion it blows the official mags away (I just glance through those bastard things). No sycophantic ‘Stevie wevie’, ‘Jamie wamie’, ‘Nando pando’ shite. I truly hope it catches fire.”

Tony Evans, Sports Editor, The Times

“Very nice”

Tony Barrett, North West Football Correspondent, The Times

“A boss read on the bog”

Neil Condron, Liverpool fan, music writer, journalist

“A beast”

Erin McCloskey, Liverpool fan, New York

“Loved it! Keep up the good work”

Anthony Teasdale, freelance editor, writer and sub-editor

“It’s got a lovely old school flavour, crammed with boss articles you really want to read.”

Cath Preston, Liverpool fan, Sheffield

“Really enjoyed it. Well written & constructive. Rome77 remembered was ace too! Looking forward to the next one.”

“In truth, this is much more than a fanzine. Tony Barrett, Paul Tomkins and Dave Kirby feature among those who contribute in this first edition and there are few better writers of a red persuasion out there. The design is much more polished than that normally associated with fanzines and the whole set-up is infinitely more professional.”

John Stonebridge, Liverpool fan, Kent

“It’s refreshing to read a magazine that doesn’t contain pull out pin ups of Stevie G or El Nino but does contain open and honest articles written by fans, for fans. Your typical ‘Fanzine’ this is not. Honesty, realism and frustration as opposed to the “We’re the best team in the world, we can beat anyone and by the way here’s a nice colour photo of Nando looking well fit”. I would urge all LFC fans, especially non-scouse LFC fans, to read this magazine as there are facts and truths uncovered here that you simply would never really find out about.”

“For the past 15 years there has been a gaping hole in the market for a publication truly representative of Liverpool supporters. Not since the short-lived Xtra Time ceased publication in 1995 have Kopites had a voice in the mainstream media to convey, though not through the want of trying by fanzine writers. Billed as “the voice of the people that count at Liverpool Football Club”, Well Red magazine plugs this gap perfectly.”

“It’s tough times for Liverpool fans at present with so many divisions on everything from the owners, the manager, the style of play and the effectiveness of Dirk Kuyt – opinions differ and never more so than now has the Kop been so disheartened. So in that respect editor Gareth Roberts has done well to put together a fans’ magazine that offers perspective on most of these issues.”

“If this is a taste of what is to come in future issues then I’ll be the first to sign up for a subscription. Simply put, it’s nice to see a good LFC magazine written by good journalists about issues which concern fans as opposed to some of the bile we get from the nationals and even regional papers, websites and magazines.”
