Nice piece.
It was such an exciting time when Darlo Uncovered was kicking off. Even though Reynolds eventually lost the plot on his ego trip, there were a couple of great years that we will probably never see the like of again, and Uncovered was a big part of that. It was amazing to me at the time that people at the club actually read and reacted to posts they saw on Uncovered... it seemed so otherworldly.
Mission Impossible was an absolutely brilliant fanzine, but there is only so much a monthly/bi-monthly fanzine can do to keep a conversation going between a club and its fans. When Uncovered came along it totally changed the dynamic. I felt much more connected to the club because of it.
Good times.

Absolutely, boorman. Dare I suggest that if Darlo Uncovered had been around 25 years ago, a lot of grief could have been prevented. Mission Impossible had sown the seeds of 'fan power' which is now the force keeping our club together.
