Isn't the rationale 'people the browsing public will recognise'? There are about 100 regular posters on here, circulation is between 10- 20,000 I think?
On the wider issue, voxpops last summer suggests that the only universally recognisable hack even during an election campaign is the PM of the day. Even Miliband, Clegg and Farage drew widespread blanks.

I'm going to break ranks and say that I thought this month's front cover joke was quite funny, for once. Might have saved it for June, when it would have been bang on topical, but that's quibbling.
Really pleased with the reprint of issue 1. Hand-drawn graphs!

I was saying as much to cousin Jim the other day after finishing his historical pot-boiler. Will have to get my own publishing plans back on track.

The photo of a snowy Brisbane Road is one of my favourite ever pictues of a football ground.
I suspect there's around 2500 in the ground but you'd never guess from the empty terrace. I think the Simon Inglis book has either the same image or one very similar too.
Those open ends abounded in the lower leagues back then (Orient being one of the few to have them behind both goals, but Argyle, Oldham, Barnsley, Cardiff, Huddersfield are ones I remember fondly). I'm struggling to think of any that still exist today.

Article from yesterdays Guardian on the 30th anniversary.

Seems a bit obsessed with Adrian Chiles.
Interesting comments section, seems a fair few WSC readers have left recently complainibg about too much Premier League focus and 'leftie' politics.
More love for Taylors "Lovejoy" article as well.

Hodgson is Alfie Bass
WSC has always been "leftie." Perhaps the Grauniad is using Leftie as a euphemism for WSC's campaigns on anti-racism and anti-homophobia.
Also "leftie" contradicts "too much Premier League", which is a bollocks claim anyway. There's a lot more stuff on smaller clubs in WSC than on the Grauniad site.
The cover once had Thatcher and Emlyn Hughes on it so Cameron is the mild mannered janitor by comparison; even if his crimes kill more people objectively, Thatcher was the one who switched the UK to a deeply criminal trajectory regarding state racism, routine police brutality against strikers and protesters, and war for votes.

I bloody knew I had this somewhere, and finally tracked it down after flicking through my annual collection today.
From the Topical Times Football Book 1971-72, on page 2 of a four-page strip called Chicken Ted Hits Back.
