This is going to affect me like andy gray being sold

Perry man kicking the ball off the line in 1970

Cropley being crippled

Shame to hear this, while the last few years my match attendances have gone down, it was always part of the prematch ritual, walk to the ground from either where the car was parked or train station, go to the burger van on the left hand side of the road as you approach the overpass and see the magnificent Holte, eat burger, fumble for change to buy H&V off nearest sellar who would normally be just pass the badge people on the left hand side, buy programme, fumble for ticket to get through the stiles, take seat and read H&V before the match, at half time and then finish reading on the way home. I guess I can order online now but did like to buy in person but thank you sellars for providing such a wonderful peace of reading and hopefully long may it continue for another 20 odd years.

Terrace standing, tobacco smoke, local players, constant singing, nearby pubs and the cry of "Heroes N Villains The Villa Fanzine". And some hope of winning a trophy. Not long until they ban the cooking of onions along the walk to the stadium and then there will be no atmosphere at all.

Dave, l'd like to wish you, and everyone connected with 'Heroes and Villains', the greatest success with this.

Never look back.

Onwards and upwards.

This is a huge blow to me. I enjoy reading it in the bath!
That's one issue taken care of in the season. Where do you read the others?

Thinking of perfect match days, does this also mean that the Sparkhill Balti house menus under the glass tabletops will soon be replaced by a digital display at eye level?

Dave can fuck right off. His offer of a free online version counts for shite. I am phobic at tehcnology.

One free, on an iPad id so not own? He can kiss my arse.

And bollocks to the the people selling it. Ooooh, stand in the cold but make 80 quid from a new edition when you wrote fucking none of it.

You can all suck my Cheesy Great Hampton and stop feeling sorry for yourselves, you workshy ******!

This post was brought to you in association with four pints, a very long call with the editor last night when he asked for even more articles, and I missed the Beeb programme on World War 1 whilst he took the piss about Chelsea's lack of possession.

Well, no more. Balls to you all. I am taking this up as a profession rather than freebies round here.

Gags aside, I am available for various paper copies we have left, and from years ago, in the Bartons from Saturday until season end.

And we have some book ideas. And we can't do those on the net...

We may be half gone. We are not forgotten.

Can we expect an all time 'best of' bumper edition for the final edition of the season then?

It's sad to see the paper version go, I still get a child-like thrill from seeing my name in print, but moving with the times is what has kept the club near, if not at, the top (at least relatively). We need to do the same I guess.

I've just text my cousin and broke the news to him. He says his number two's just won't be the same.

We'll all remember where we were when we heard the news.
