Anyway, time to man up, grow a pair and accept it. Hopefully see a few of you tomorrow.

Tomorrow will be your last opportunity to buy a proper H&V at Villa Park. We've even got old sellers returning.

Never been a fan of acts reforming.

I won't be there, which makes me Weller. Mac and Mark M are 'From The Jam'.

You've moved on Percy, they are just trading on past glories.

I'll be Witton Lane as usual, opposite Dave. Last chance to come and say hello.

You've come a long way from being Leeg's security guard.

Looking forward to purchasing my last H @V, my all time favourite publication, will I be able to buy the previous edition guys?

Dave usually has a copy lurking, if it hasn't sold out.

A big thank you to everyone who has bought H&V from me in the time i've been selling. It's been a real pleasure meeting so many of you.

I've been buying H&V for the best part of 20 years and today thought it was going to be very appropriate that I buy the last edition from Dave W.

So as I approached him after the end of the game at his usual selling spot to buy one a grinning Dave said "Sorry, sold out ". At that point I looked down at the handful of copies he was carrying as he then tried to hide them behind his back whilst running off.

Nice one Dave. I won't be buying the digital edition.

You do realise they were back issues that Dave had left don't you. Every seller sold out, that's why we were stood by Dave.

Back issues that were all the same?

Yes. I was stood there next to Dave when he sold his last issue. As was Legion.  I saw the covers of the back issues he put away, I know the covers as the see the things for hours when selling. Now ask yourself, why the fuck would I lie about a £2 fanzine. And more importantly, if you know Dave, there is zero chance he'd turn down a sale. Every single seller, including Dave, sold out today.
