Fantastic News

No, not England finishing runners-up in the most piss easy group ever.

But Clap Your Hands Stamp Your Feet is coming back for a one off special!!!

Back around the turn of the Millennium Watford fanzines seemed so numerous there was almost a new one every game.  Well, okay that's a bit of an exaggeration but with Clap, The Yellow Experience and the short lived All Watford All Lovin' It there was always plenty to read on a matchday that wasn't just the programme.

When GT announced his retirement they all got together to do a special tribute publication and this led to a regular mega-fanzine called Look At The Stars which was quite brilliant.  It sadly died sometime after the Vialli fiasco (I'm sure it's another thing we can blame him for).  Even so, I still look out optimistically on a matchday when I walk past the hospital to see if any-one is selling it, or any other Watford related unofficial mag.

So its fantastic news that Clap will be back at the beginning of the season.

Whilst I'm plugging I must give a huge and very much overdue shout out to the 'From the Rookery End' podcast.

It is marvellous and very professionally done and even has decent jingles.  It certainly doesn't sound like one of those podcasts recorded in someone's bedroom.  I look forward to hearing many more of them.
