- The Mag
The Mag is an independent magazine written by and for the supporters of Newcastle United in
England .The first issue of the Mag came off the press in
1988 after its founders were inspired by the general footballfanzine , When Saturday Comes. The Mag became the first Newcastle United fanzine. Over the years, other Newcastle Unitedfanzine s followed - The Number Nine, Talk of the Tyne, Half Mag Half Biscuit and Toon Army News to name just some. However The Mag has outlived all of these publications, proving a popular read with a large number of Newcastle United supporters worldwide, and a well respected publication throughout the field of football fanzines.In recent years, The Mag has spawned a spin off
fanzine called "True Faith" which takes a slightly different look at Newcastle United to The Mag by focusing on nostalgia, memories, music, fashion and fan culture.In January
2006 the Mag celebrated its 200th issue, at the same time asAlan Shearer scored his 200th competitive Newcastle United goal, equallingJackie Milburn 's club record.See also
