Excellent Job. I've missed reading H&V since the post office put the cost up to such ridiculous levels.

Sounds a very good idea as i used to lose my copy before i made it home from the game. Will I be able to purchase individual copies or is it on a subscription basis?

Good stuff.  I've subscribed to WSC using Exact Editions and it works really well on a tablet.

Will we be able to get digital back issues all the way back to issue one? As I've moved around more than a gypsy with commitment issues over the last twenty odd years I may have mislaid some (if not all) of my paper copies. Well I say mislaid, the ex wife used them to line the cat litter tray after I left along with my Jam vinyl collection as a disposable poop scoop!
If we can that would be fantastic, or failing that if i could buy the complete collection once again, I probably would - especially the one with my article as a double page spread!

I would never insult you with the word "free" as such. More like "bonus" for long-standing subscribers who have already coughed up.  *cough*

As a subscriber can you download to kindle and ipad or has it got to be one or the other? I have just paid the subscription dave for a year - would I also be able to use my account for reading on a kindle or can't you use kindle and ipad on the same subscription?

It wasn't one of the questions that was answered in the response on the official site so I guess we will have to wait and see! Seems like a no brainer considering the number of villans spread around the UK and further away.

I want to buy! I am a bit slow though, how do I sign up for exact editions? Is there a registration page somewhere? All I can find is a log in screen.

Never mind its buried in checkout Found it.

Boughtified! Thanks for doing this!

That Frank Pattison piece on relegation was great, educational.

I had a meeting with some of the team about producing a digital, interactive tablet edition of the programme but they just weren't interested (this was in August 2011). The lack of knowledge on the subject was highlighted when they asked what's the difference between an iPad and a Kindle!

I can see where your coming from.  But for me it would be a big no!  Football Programmes are part of the tradition of going to a match.  I'm 28, so for people of my age-group I'm probably in the minority but I have hundreds of programmes. And buying one is still part of the match day experience.  Having a digital version would just spoil it.  Saying that, you are talking to somebody who buys Vinyl.

Times are changing and a digital version of the matchday programme seems a no brainer.
