Neil Doncaster Exclusive! Big Dunc! League of Ireland x Scotland: pre-order Nutmeg Issue 36 now 📖

High on Nutmeg FC? Make Issue 36 the gateway drug to our beautiful print edition

Hello there,

Issue 36 of our quarterly print magazine is now wending its way around the print presses like a jinking winger of old. The summer edition always feels like an especially important one to get right – while the game hibernates and supporters sit around waiting for the fixtures to come out, we want it to be entertaining enough to help readers forget how much they’re missing football.

To that end, #36 comprises a heady broth of delightfully-presented storytelling – more than 30 articles about the game’s past, present and future… A blockbuster beach read, only with slightly more mentions of Broxburn United than your average romantic novel.

Among its fine yarns are a special focus on the League of Ireland and what its current state might mean for Scottish football, an exclusive interview by Stephen McGowan with SPFL chief Neil Doncaster, Teddy Jamieson’s profile of Duncan Ferguson, the final part of our season with Ayr United, a fascinating look at the sculptors behind football statues, and the inside story of the BBC’s recent Vladimir Romanov audio series. Plus: football’s first fanzine revealed, Alan Pattullo’s moving tribute to Patrick Barclay, a Fitbatweets story, Fields of Dreams continued, photo essays and oh so much more.

It will start to fall from letterboxes across the country at the end of next week, making a fine plonking sound. If you’d like to hear it and then lose yourself in our pages, order direct from the link beneath this message.

And if you’re already a print reader: deepest thanks – may you enjoy our writers’ latest labours.

Dan

Editor, Nutmeg magazine.
