Important announcement
« on: February 04, 2014, 11:57:42 AM »
There's a new H&V out on Saturday. Make the most of it, as it's almost certain that the paper version will be ending this season.

From August we'll be transferring to digital-only, and staying dry in the process. This means more issues per season, more pages per issue and more up to date as we don't have to work round fixtures. The price will be around the same as VAT now has to be added and set-up costs are comparatively high for short runs such as ours - Private Eye, we ain't. We're looking at the idea of doing two Best Ofs every season as paper versions on sale at the ground for anyone who hasn't got digital access but more news on them nearer the time.

We'll be in touch with existing subscribers towards the end of the season to see how they want to continue.

Redundancy packages are being negotiated with sellers and if you've not seen it, here's where you can get the app https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/heroes-villains-villa-fanzine/id626720195?mt=8

Have been with the online issues all season and very happy with the process - extremely good value too.

A bit sad to see the end of the printed version.

Even if I wasn't a seller I'd agree with SH. For as long as I can remember the shouts of sellers are synonymous with a match day. And the amount of comments from folks walking by in my short time selling confirm a lot of supporters are the same.

Echo PWS and SH's comments. It'll be sad to see the printed version go.

Sadly a sign of the times, I used to love the sports argus  and h&v to read on a Saturday night after the match - but it is a very easy  process online and downloads in less than a minute.
