Gutted. It's often better entertainment at home games than the match itself.

No more

"Is it the programme"

"Them all bloody Villains"

"Where is the Holtey End" Usually against Man Ure or other glory hunting team [they actually said Holtey End!] My reply is usually along the line of "Same place is was againt Hull"

"Where is the North End" to which the answer was always "Preston"

After a purchase: "This isn't the programme!" answer: "I never said it was"

"Who's playing today?" Like the manager calls me in advance to let me know

Glory hunter: "whats that?"
Me: "A fanzine"
Glory Hunter: "Whats that?"
Me: "Its like a programme just better"
Glory Hunter: "So its the programme?"
Me "Thats £2 please"
Glory Hunter: "Thats cheap for a programme"

Isn't this the sort of thing Randy could subsidise?

Like the Sports Argus, Heroes and Villains fanzine was a great thing to bring back from the match. I like tactile things which you don't need a plug for, I will always buy books not kindles. So, like may here will be upset to see the fanzine go.

You have to buy it on iTunes?!  That's like a cross to a vampire for me.  I buy all my apps in the Google Play Store.

I think that, for at least a season, sellers should stand in their normal spots and yell out that H&V is now available online.

They could sell friendship scarfs instead.

Huge shame, to be honest I think you'll see a large decline in readers, I mainly buy the paper version as something to read at half time and to have handy by the toilet for when I'm stuck in there for a while.

I get that it's a pain in the arse to stand outside selling though, so fair play and good luck to you.

Be nice if some of you come and said hello while we are still selling. Always nice to put faces to names.  So don't be shy!

I'm gutted to be honest, it's part of the matchday experience for me and I enjoy reading the paper version. I'll certainly be sad to see it go.

As an aside I'm even more determined now to get editions 99 and 127 to complete my collection so if anyone has either...

Perhaps a reunion of all the previous sellors and do funeral march along Trinity Road holding the last ever issue on our shoulders

I have loads in my collection from the start in the shed - I will have a look for you tonight.
