WSAG goes digital-only

It amazes me that the Programme sales hold up, especially as most of the comments and news from the club is known at least a few days before the programme can be published. An example may be the leaving of Pip, we will all be well read of that news through media like TW well before Saturday.

The same I think can be said of the Newspapers, unless there is some major drama tonight I have already read the Newspapers for tomorrow on the net.

Sad demise of seeing the guys freezing on the corner of Gwladys Street and Goodison Road. I wish them all the best for the future. Good lads.

I have noticed recently that they have been critical of the extreme opinions of the 'Internet cranks' .... Could they mean Toffeeweb ha ha?

If you say wrestling is scripted nonsense they throw themselves off tall buildings.

It seems that rightly or wrongly the general consensus amongst Evertonians is that Toffeeweb harbors the miserable gits amongst our ranks.

Perhaps the silent majority watch the dogs of war like Marsh and Gavin tear into people while Eugene takes his potshots at them like Babe Ruth in a Coconut shy and think it's best to keep their heads down? By the way, personally, I think those three are highly entertaining and enjoy the banter but I suspect some others may be more wary.

First of all, let me say that the people who put the effort in to publish things like this - Graham and the team - deserve great credit and thanks from Evertonians as a whole. As more and more publications move to digital, the irony is that longer term the ability to have some physical to read will in my view become more valuable.

I fear that WSAG will get lost amongst all the other noise on the web about the blues. I hope I'm wrong. I'm sure I'm not alone in having saved WSAG for my toilet reading. I've had many happy times sitting reading WSAG, chuckling at St V, and alas I'm going to have to revert to something new.

Articles that spring to mind are one from Joe Moss of Kirkby in 1994 tearing into, in his word's, 'non-Scouse knobheads and wools' who support the Blues and one in the November 1998 issue called 'think before you drink before you support Everton' that still has me hysterics whenever I dig it out.

WSAG has been part of my matchday for 22 years and it's a read I will miss.

Have been a follower since the very first editions and remember how I used to read it from cover to cover when I got home after a game.

The first issue I ever bought was an absolute revelation.

At last, here was a forum for the ordinary supporter to air his or her views. It was fabulous to read other Evertonians' opinions: such an antidote to the dated, sanitised propaganda from its only rival at the time - the official programme.

If the editorial team from WSAG read this - as I am sure they will - good luck with the new venture lads.
