Title: The Villa Times Magazine.
Post by: gervilla on July 22, 2012, 04:56:55 PM
I see (via Facebook) that a new magazine is going on sale.
Could H&V sales be about to take a hit ?

If you're referring to when I asked how many people buy the H&V fanzine a couple of weeks ago, I have no affiliation with this 'Villa Times' and was only aware of it this morning when the guy who runs the 'proud to be a villan' Facebook page declared how he's been asked to write for it. It was an innocent question out of curiosity :)

I wasn't referring to you. I saw a familiar name pop up on  The Villa Times facebook page.

Ah sorry, somebody commented that I might be doing 'market research' when I asked it, thought it might be you.

It's a dog eat dog world out there.
Who would have said 18 months ago that The News of the World would disappear?
Any sort of scandal could surface.

Anyway, the Villa Times was done in the early 1970s. I'm sure I still have my copies somewhere.

So will the Villa Times be the print version of Pravda? If so then no thanks.
Then again if it's going to be a competitor to H&V giving the fans view of things, let battle commence.

By the look of it I would say slightly more of the former with a bit of the latter thrown in.

Speaking of which. It would be nice if you could buy H&V in PDF. Good for back issues and for folks overseas (like me) who dont fancy spending money on postage.

Heroes and Villains is a voice for the fans. Any other publication which the club has involvement in is not the same.

I agree with this too.  It would be great if each edition was released as a book on amazon?
Two of my mates have “published” books which they’ve sold through amazon for less than a quid so it must be possible.

We're in negotiations about it.
