The shop improvements are mostly for us, and will hopefully make everything a lot easier down our end. The blog, however, is for you. We’re planning to have match previews and reports for every game next season, with a few extras thrown in for good measure. The fanzine will continue to be the same electic mix of articles and humour that we always provide and for the first time we will be able to offer subscriptions for the season.

These are just the ideas that we have had however. If you think that there’s something our site is missing, then please get in contact through the contact form on the ‘contact’ page. We’ve already had a great idea to do a links/we like page which will be a part of the new site, we hope that there are many more ideas out there that we can implement!

Thanks for a great season last year, we can’t wait for August!

The fanzine will still be available from Bluecoat Books in Chester (which has been restocked), as well as Hawarden Post Office.

We will also continue to sell the fanzine outside the ground on matchdays and will be attending the Ebbsfleet and Hednesford games with copies.

Copies are just £2 and all profits go to the Junior Blues.

You can listen to the podcast on itunes – just search for The Seals Podcast – and also on Soundcloud here – http://soundcloud.com/lachefm/the-seals-podcast-season-2-3

We would like to thank Chester FC who kindly allowed us to use their address for the first few months of our existence while we found something more permanent.

- At the Exacta
We will be selling the fanzine in two locations at the ground, one around the gates and the other a bit further down the road, towards the Royal Mail depot. If you don’t know where we mean, we’ve done a little map for you here, these locations have been chosen in agreement with the club and we hope they are convenient for you. If you’re unable to make the game please remember we’ll be selling it at the Stocksbridge Park Steels game on Saturday 27th August too, probably in the same locations.

- At Blue Coat Books
Blue Coat Books on the city walls have agreed to stock copies of the fanzine. They are available from there right now. So if you’re in Chester, why not pop in? They’re lovely and aren’t taking any money off us! We’d like to thank them for their generous offer.

- At Hawarden Post Office
We’re very pleased to announce that Hawarden Post Office will have copies available for sale as soon as they’re ready (which might be before the FC United  game…) and they’re not even taking any money off us! We’d like to thank them for their generous offer.  Also, if you know of a newsagent or post office near you who would like to stock our fanzine (preferably for free) then please email us.

- Online
Our online payment system is now up and running, so those of you who aren’t local can have a copy delivered to your door. Click here – http://theblueandwhitefanzine.co.uk/buy/ – you don’t have to have a paypal account and postage is just 80p (second class standard) for UK customers.

Thanks!

If you wish to reserve a copy please email us and we’ll set one aside for you to pick up the game. The price is just £2.
