5-cover.jpg

The fifth issue of The Square Ball’s twenty-eighth season will soon be available to buy now online, or from one of our friendly sellers outside Elland Road before the games against Norwich City and Hull.

£1.50 digital or £2 (plus postage) for a paper copy gets you 80 full-colour pages of brilliant Leeds United related words and pictures, from some amazing writers, artists and photographers.

Or you can get the rest of this season’s issues sent direct to your door, with a half-season subscription — just £18 for six issues. Click here for more info.

It’s a proper magazine, for Leeds fans, that was shortlisted for the seventh year in a row for The Football Supporters’ Federation Fanzine of The Year Award. We didn’t win (congratulations to Arsenal’s The Gooner), but we’re the only fanzine to have been shortlisted every year of the award, so it’s got to be worth two quid, right?
