Sorry if this has been posted elsewhere.
Does anyone know if the magazine is still going ? and when will it be released ?
It is really handy to send to my family in Canada to keep them abrest of all thing Villa.
UTV
The Doc
-
I seem to remember an announcement that it was being discontinued - I don't think it was published last season either?
It was simply a rehash of old stuff from the programme anyway, as far as I could see.
-
I don't think it's being printed any more but isn't it available online?
-
That was the Yearbook
-
Haven't seen one of them for ages; not that I've missed it

Surely a subscription to a certain fanzine would be better !!

I was in the shop last week & they have a table full of back issues of Claret &Blue, & loads of old programmes, & I mean old, Ian Olney was on the front of one. I think they,re priced @20p ea.
Someone must have been clearing a cupboard ready for the new kits arrival......

Was it Shoot! that used to ask who they voted for, or The Villa times?
Either way, it was always 99% Tory.

I think I've still got the issue of Claret and Blue from 1994 where me and my then girlfriend were pictured at the Deportivo game, where we lost 1-0.
-
FAVOURITE PERSON - Farrah Fawcett

Spot on, Chico! Although there was a question - possibly what is worst thing about being a professional footballer - of which the answer was always injuries.
Married: Yes, to Barbara
Children: Gary, 5; Sharon, 3 and 2-month old Wayne
Car: Capri Ghia
Favourite singer: Peters and Lee
To be fair, Shoot! at the time would as readily ask the question of Orient's "midfield schemer" as they would of a top international like, er, Mike England.
I also knew aged 8 what "miscellaneous" meant. I doubt if any of the 8-year olds I teach do.
-
Wasn't "favourite singer" nearly always Phil Collins?
Last copy of Claret & Blue I saw was about 20 pages and half of those were adverts.
-
Claret and Blue was rubbish.
-
What would you be if you weren't a footballer: an electrician.
