New edition on sale at the match tomorrow. Still £1.50, and yes, it does include the Last Departure of Martin.
-
For the first time I will take out the subscription rather than buy on a match day - so I am signed up
-
Might take up this option this time as living up North a lot of matches I go to are away.
-
Is that the programme?...

Finally renewed!

Just taken out a subscription as well......roll on the new season

Mine done. For once the online payment didn't give me grief.

I've renewed by paypal.

In the wake of today's news is Saturday's edition already horribly out of date or did Dave W shout ''Stop the presses!'' this afternoon in a dank cellar at H&V towers where a downtrodden, ink-stained Mac was just putting the finishing touches to this season's virginal issue?
-
I was wondering that earlier. I predict Dave will be shouting "get your special souvenir Martin O'Neill Heroes and Villains... only a fiver!"
I will open it and realise he hasn't changed it at all as he laughs evilly while counting his millions.

The presses were stopped in time
-
Blimey Dave, how do you fit it all in, what with your busy TV & radio Schedule!
-
Just done it and I'm so excited I could tear a tissue.
-
What was the front cover before you changed it?

What's now the back cover. Which reminds me - today is the last chance to renew in order to make sure you get the new edition as soon as we do. http://www.heroespublishing.co.uk/HPshop/shop.html

Do you need more people to sell H&V?
Bear in mind that I don't want the route that all the fat, ugly, smelly people walk past. I have a reputation to uphold. For example I could sell them at Selfridges or Harvey Nichols. <jk>
What sort of training do you provide?

Following our latest revision, we are looking for new staff on an ad hoc basis. Training is uneccessary as the art of taking money from the unsuspecting cannot be taught.

Training involves the following:
1. training in giving 'the medusa look' to those inquiring if it is the programme
2. training in refusing to return money to the aforementioned who think its the programme
3. training in multi tasking [i.e talking and still spotting sales as they walk on past]
4. voice training to get the 'Heroes and Villians thee Villa fanzine' just right
5. fitness training for carrying Dave's loot
6. fitness speed training [we had to get from the North Stand to outside the Church within 1.5 mins of the final wistle or Dave would have that 'pissed off' look on his face] thats a long way along witton lane
7. training in giving the one fingered salute to away couches as they depart for home [yes you are still at VP when they leave!]
I think Dave is offering and NVQ in Fanzine selling this year

They were great, and we enjoyed doing them, but I was stuck over the summer with the Pocket Book (out in October) and another project which has been put back due to the publisher going out of business so there just wasn't enough time to get it out.
-
Ah come

Ah come on Dave.
I too really enjoy the season review books and have them all so far. Why not delegate? No panic ,get it out in a few months time.
Looking forward to H&V dropping through my letterbox during the week. I only get to Villa Park once a season if Im lucky and the books and the fanzine are invaluable to me to keep informed as to whats going on at the club I'v supported and loved since I was a wee lad about 27 years ago.Keep up the good work.
-
When I say invaluable, it doesn't mean I'm going to pay any extra!!!

Just subscribed for the first time! Looking forward to my copy arriving!
-
Pages 4 and 45 in my copy are completely blank. Anyone else?
-
Hi, i'm a subscriber and normally my copy arrives on the morning of the match, but this morning no sign of it, as anyone else not received theres?

Everybody. The entire delivery got stuck behind a car on fire on the M5 yesterday, which meant the subscriber copies had to be taken to Newtown sorting office for the last collection. And on the way there my car broke down. They got there last last night and should be arriving on Monday. Any subscriber who hasn't got a copy on the day of the match, see me and I'll give you another.
-
If you only subscribed today do you miss the first issue or will it be on at a later date?

You'll get the first issue and it's in the post on Monday.

Haha.
It wouldn't surprise me.
-
re subscribed this morning, better late than never, sorry Dave
-
Legion wasn't at his normal post on Saturday and the other H&V seller I asked hadn't seen him.
I assume that, with the potential for most UK airports to be closed soon due to strikes, Legion is out of the country. When Leeg does go away, he does tend to have trouble getting back !!
-
I think Leeg is still in the country as he seemed to have a hand in the events of Friday.
-
Ooh. Bazz did an article.
-
I don't often give credit where it's due but whoever came up with the inside cover, well done. I've just pissed my knickers.
-
Any overseas subscribers offer any experience on when they receive their H&V's in the mail?
Subscribed for the first time during the off season.

I enjoyed that as well.

You know, I'd not spotted that until you mentioned it. Great stuff.

They seem to let all manner of riff raff write articles these days ;-)
I enjoyed the inside cover and also the back cover.
-
Liked the name you gave my article. Thanks Dave (It arrived today).
Although you missed me out of the contributions list! ;)
-
Do they offer this online anywhere?
-
Oophs... I just saw the inside cover as a Sky advert and didn't bother reading it. Didn't realise it was a piss-take!
