As we turn the last page,
Please let us not forget,
Those hardy souls of Hand V
That stood out in the wet.

With frantic cries to come and buy
This morsel of English Lit.,
An A5 compendium of Villainy
Wrapped up in honest wit.

The Legion of honest brokers
Who welcomed supporters true
Are now released to pasture
In fields of Claret and Blue. 


Good work!

Always looked forward to H and V arriving in the post. The fact that it took a few days longer to get to Ireland actually seemed to make it all the more enjoyable when it finally arrived. Won't be the same reading it on Kindle but I suppose it's for the best. Thanks for giving me many many hours of happy reading and best of luck with the new direction.

Just as I was starting to get over the demise of The Argus.

As you've mentioned there will be special editions in hard copy?

The end of an era.

I remember the first ever issue I bought as a 10 year old had a picture of The queen presenting the FA Cup to Johnny Dixon on the cover with the speech bubbles 'Be seeing you soon your highness' and the queen replying 'I don't think so'.

 It's our year for the cup next year, you heard it here first  ;)

I also remember the seller telling me 'it's not the programme you know!' and me replying 'Oh yeah, I know that!'

Ahh, the memories, I shall buy the final print copy tomorrow with a heavy heart.

My brother brought the first ever one up at Crewe off DW back in the day. The print version shall be missed (wipes away tear and stares into the distance).

Being a boring old fart and technophobe tomorrow's will be the last one for me - I just like the physical medium of print on paper and can't get on with reading books etc on electronic devices. And besides anything else you can't fold a Kindle in your jeans back pocket during the match. Sad end of a long held match habit and looking forward to the bumper Christmas paper edition already

Well done chaps. The link to B6 from here has been greatly improved by your magnificent work.
 (And I must extend my thanks to those of you I met in the Bartons Arms)
