    I forget his name but I believe a guy hotsm off the old BBC606 used to do stuff for it. I did try once to get him to come over here, not sure if he ever did though.

    Podcast is not my thing so best of luck with that.

    Id be interested in listening to a Gills podcast. We barely get a mention on other football podcasts. even when we one the league.

    I think this illustrates the problem of an online fanzine.

    I remember the old, paper, version of BMH, which offered amusing, witty and usually interesting views of the Gills progress (or, most usually, lack of it). I was delighted when I found the online version, but it hasn't been updated for almost 2 years. The quality is obviously still there - I think it was started by the same guy who played a major part in the mag - but something like that needs a dedicated editor and significant external contributions.

    My own advice if you did want to get into the Gills fanzine business would be to contact the BMH website operator / owner and see if he would be willing to pass over editorial responsibilities. The BMH name should certainly give the operation a kick start if it were sufficiently well publicised.

    That is fine,but if it was agreed,then it would leave me with a dilemma,with my own blog or BMH fanzine.
