More about Talking Bull

Chris Jones, one of the supporters behind Talking Bull, was interviewed on BBC Hereford and Worcester this evening.

Malcolm Boyden first asked Chris about the history of Talking Bull.

"We started round about 1989 when the fanzine movement as a whole got going and we noticed there were loads of other clubs who had fanzines so we thought why don't we get one and start up because there was not really much scope for United fans to sound-off and have their say.

"So we started off. It was printed in the supporters club chairmans' garage and we went from there.

"I've been involved with it right from the beginning. The internet is fine for your instant soundbite or whatever.

"But not everyone has the internet and they're missing out."

Talking Bull hasn't been published so recently lately but Chris is glad it's back.

"I sounded out the current co-editor, Peter who lives in Leominster, and asked him if he had the time for it and he said yes. So he put me in touch with some other of the old contributors and I'll see what comes up.

"It's worked out well as we were over-subscribed with material for just about the first time ever."

Asked what the hot issues are, Chris replied:

"The hottest issue is whether Graham Turner is the wonderful person quite a lot of people think he is or whether he has not been very good for the club as other people seem to think."

Talking Bull costs just £1 and the next issue is due out on Saturday April 22nd when Hereford United are at home to Southport.
