I wouldn't bother trying to hand the placards out inside the ground - security has gotten toey with Schip Happens! inside before. On Swan Street and on the big steps past the Goal Weekly guy should be fine for distribution though, we very rarely have had any problems there. It would be great if you guys could post/tweet/Facebook the direct info for the day (when you know) about where you will be, at what time, and with basic instructions, so people who want to be involved can come down and collect their placards. Another thought - this may have been said - but I'm sure as individuals plenty of people could bring in packs of red and white balloons and blow them up before and during the game and just have them bouncing around everywhere, to add to the visual effect. Good luck, this is a fantastic initiative. We will keep promoting you on Twitter.

Thanks for the feedback everyone, really positive, thanks! There was some confusion as I think one or two of our helpers didn't realise we were taking donations, but never mind. Glad you all liked it! And yes, a PDF will be up soon. Follow us on Twitter and Facebook to stay in the loop, and we'll keep you posted on future editions. It's very money dependent so if you have a business or know someone who might want to sponsor a page with an ad or two, please let us know. It's the only way we can keep going next season. If you would like a copy posted out to you, just PM me your address. If there's a lot of interest I might bring a few leftover copies to the next home match for people to collect.

Thanks! A few bucks from everyone would help in a big way, or if you've got a business and would like to put in an ad for the next edition, just let us know here or on Facebook/Twitter - we can do mates' rates. Fire up for the derby, it's game on moles!

Here's a cheeky look at the cover for the edition. See you at the Impy or on the steps at AAMI Park before the match. If you want to throw us a few coins, that would help us keep going next season. Oh yeah, and let's do Victory 5-0.

Ladies and gents, the Schip Happens! magazine will be back for the derby on Saturday 1 March. We’ll be looking at the season to date and of course the excitement of Manchester City’s purchase of the club. Pick up your copy at the Imperial before the game, or outside AAMI Park near the big steps on the Richmond side from 6.45pm. Get in early as the copies will fly out quickly. The mag is free but donations are appreciated to help us keep going for next season. Keep an eye on Twitter and Facebook for some sneak previews of what’s to come, including our traditional derby centre spread (which will IN NO WAY extract the Michael from our blue neighbours). Enjoy the read!
