Well (seeing as you two guys posted first!) I will need your Email addresses, but the general thrust of the being is about a new Accrington & Stanley fanzine, which I plan to set up, pay for, but get you guys to run!

I will explain the long and short of it in the Email, as there is also a long set of questions which you have to answer before I decide that you are the right people to entrust my money, effort and reputation to!

If you want to know a little bit about me, I'm only just 16 years old (so people think I'm crazy for doing this) and I'm a Cambridge United fan (Again, people just think I'm absolutely mad!) But, if you want to see my success so far, I suggest you visit www.cambridgeunited.tk

The financial incentive scheme is fairly modest, but the basic break down of cash is 25% profit straight to Accy Stan (no strings, no fuss, no muss) Representatives (which is what you guys are, if you pass the test) receive 12.5% each, but if one of you fails the test (no pressure) then the representative get's 25% but there is also a points reward scheme. It all seems really entrepeneurial, but I'm honestly just a guy who loves football and wants to spread the lurrve.

This will involve some hard work from you guys, as, between yourselves, you will have to fill approx 12/14 pages, but, even if it bombs and is a failure, you'll be no worse off, but I will be skint!

Just thought I'd add... just because these two got back first, doesn't mean they are necessarily the right guys for the job!

If you meet most/all of those requirements, let me know!

Representative quiz (good luck!)

Pre-amble

Accrington Web user name:

The most important thing about a football fanzine is:

a) Making money

b) Enjoying writing it

c) Helping the club

d) Having something good on your CV

Rank these in order of importance, starting with the most important:

b) Ensuring that the fanzine is profitable
c) Writing a funny, witty commentary about the club
d) Having a full colour, glossy front cover

3. If somebody asks you where they can buy an official programme from (and you know there is a programme seller around the corner) you say?

a) Sorry, I don't know
b) There is a seller just around the corner
c) There is a seller just around the corner, but this is less than half the price and also makes money for the club.

4. 250 fanzines are delivered to your house, and you walk to the matches but you pick up the box and it is too heavy, what do you do?

a) Walk it anyway, but wake up the next morning with a painful back
b) Take 100 out, because that makes it easy to carry
c) Call a taxi and just lump it and accept the cost
d) Leave them because it is cold, you'd much rather relax in front of a movie, in front of the fire with a nice Cointreau Coffee in your hand.

5. It's a match day, you've got to sell 100 fanzines, rank these essentials in order of importance, starting with the most important;
