Is there any way i could get Heroes and Villains sent over to Lanzarote next season? Could i pay by visa card for the mags and pay for postage at the same time for a season subscription?

Dear Mr Woodhall

Please don't station Legion down by the church on Sunday.

When I look back at some of your work with Monty Python, I'm beginning to think that you have lost your cutting edge sense of humour. Just repeating the same thing over and over is not comedy genius.

If you'd have worked at Hardy Spicers in the 60's/70's you could have played against him as my dad used to.  Hard to believe this day and age that a world class Scottish International / Aston Villa full back should spend his "retirement" as a storeman in a Birmingham factory

Title: Latest H&V - Rob Yates
Post by: Ad@m on May 06, 2012, 06:14:53 PM
OK, we've all had a chuckle at this guy in the past but his latest rant in the fanzine goes a bit too far for me.

I can understand that the rambling nonsense in his letters are put there for us all to laugh at him but his latest letter reflects badly on the fanzine in my view.  It's only barely literate and quite clearly spectacularly unbalanced.  Couple that with the excessive swearing throughout (don't children read H&V?), the xenophobia, and the hints of homophobia and for me it's gone too far.

I'm sure H&V gets plenty of letters for each issue and not all of them can make it into the fanzine so I'm interested to hear why this one got in.

Never mind Rob Yates, I think Alex Keble's article should be sent to Private Eye's Pseuds Corner as soon as possible.

Post by: Hale on May 06, 2012, 07:13:38 PM
Particularly enjoyed the 20 questions article by Robert Adey - I know we will never get the answers but they are still valid - does Mr Woodhall send Randy a copy of each issue (with Rob Yates letters removed) ? It would provide him with well articulated views of serious fans- ones which he should take heed of.

Finally the piece on Mercer's Minors was a trip down memory lane as my first games at VP were in the mid sixties when we were on the same slippery slope we are on today - I know we are safe this season but as so many keep saying next season will surely be worse without significant change at the club.

Yes I noticed him as I came through the Park on my way to the Holte. I tried not to catch his eye as I was sure I will end up buying  from him instead of  the usual spot!

Went to the Wellington after the game and ended up having a couple of pints with three Spurs fans who had all bought H&V.
It turns out that they buy fanzines at every away match and rate H&V as one of the best in the country. Good quality production and content, is what they said.

Mr. Woodhall would it be possible to bring out a special collectors edition of the thoughts of Rob Yates? I'm sure it'd be a best seller. :)

You make a fair point. Leaving it in shows this person up for the imbecile he is, but it does mean that I will not be able to pass my copy on at work once DW sends it me (we sold out).
