ClaretandHugh is delighted to announce that it has entered into a formal partnership with the top Hammers fanzine Blowing Bubbles Monthly.

We have been working together informally for several months but with the season now coming to an end we have decided to join forces as we approach the dawn of a new Irons era.

We will be sharing resources and contacts as we strive to take supporters on an entertaining and informed journey as our club grows and grows.

Founding editor of CandH Hugh Southon said: “We are firm believers that there is “POWER IN PARTNERSHIP” and we want to work alongside those whom we believe are the best at what they do – Blowing Bubbles most certainly fulfils that criteria.

“We urge all our followers to subscribe to the magazine which has a great history of dedication to the club – a pedigree of which it can be very, very proud.

We are delighted and proud to be part of regular moves to bring the West Ham family together via our various partnerships with outstanding West Ham accounts and operations.

David Blackmore, editor of Blowing Bubbles Monthly, which is read by 30,000 Hammers a month, said he was proud to be partnering with ClaretandHugh.

He said: “Over the past year, ClaretandHugh and Blowing Bubbles have been working closely together as we’ve seen each brand record huge increases in readership, and this move to link up seemed the logical next step.

“What has always impressed me about ClaretandHugh has been the dedication, enthusiasm, and passion of Hugh and his team to give exclusive news and interviews every day.

“With top names as regular contributors such as co-chairman David Gold, Leroy Rosenior, Tony Gale, Frank McAvennie, John Moncur and many more, ClaretandHugh is a must-read for me every day.

“On top of this, their partnerships with Hammers Chat, who are producing excellent videos, and with West Ham Social, shows that ClaretandHugh are keen to create partnerships with those who are the best at what they do, and work together to create a strong West Ham family.”

The team at Blowing Bubbles are currently putting the final touches to their commemorative Farewell Boleyn issue. You will not want to miss this issue, which comes out next week.

There will only be a limited number of these special issues printed so make sure you secure your copy this weekend. You will then have the issue posted through your door, along with the hundreds of subscribers who have every issue delivered.
