Old Frightful Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 John this will be the first thing I purchase in the morning, hows that? Does it have the cricket results in it? "When I saw the Pistols and The Clash I realised it didn't seem that difficult, they didn't seem like they could play very well either, so the thing was to form a band then work it out. We didn't even know who was going to play what - we passed around all the instruments until we found what we were comfortable with. I wasn't comfortable with any of them so I became the singer."

Old Frightful Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Would it make you more likely to buy it if it did? Possibly, seeing Yorks are doing so well. I'll be buying a copy in the morn if that makes you happy.

John Drake Posted July 2, 2010 Author Share Posted July 2, 2010 I'll be buying a copy in the morn if that makes you happy. It does! I can sleep easy now. I hope the wholesalers don't muck things up and delay it appearing on the shelves on time as they have been wont to do in the recent past. It really should be out in all the usual places on Friday morning. Please report back if any problems. Ta. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Drake Posted July 2, 2010 Author Share Posted July 2, 2010 If I win another cup John I'll buy 10 If you buy 10 we may be able to afford another cup! Just buy one copy, but tell nine friends to buy it too. In fact, everyone on here buy one copy and tell nine friends to buy it too!! Word of mouth, that's what we need.

DiH68 Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 (edited) I'd buy it if I still lived in England - looks like a good read this month Except {pedant subbing mode}, on-the-ground should be hyphenated (I suppose it might be actually, but it doesn't like it on screen) - otherwise it sounds like a special about the ground report That was the very first thing on the cover that jumped out at me - God, how sad am I?

John Drake Posted July 2, 2010 Author Share Posted July 2, 2010 9-4 to the 'Ayes' so far. Anyone seen it in the shops yet? If so, go and liberate a copy from the evil clutches of your local newsagent. The price of its freedom from shelf tyranny is only . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hindle xiii Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Anyone got it yet? Aye. I just finished last month's today. This new one seems to have something missing, I know it's Rugby League "World" but it seems to be lacking on domestic things. Dunno, seems to have too much international and historical articles. And the blemish near the back remains. (No, not Dave Hadfield!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adelwire Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 Asda Holt Park has it. Have started to read. Looks good. Just a thought for the youngsters, what about a centre page colour pull out photo for the bedroom wall of major RL personalities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amber Avenger Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 ...you dont think 8 years old would be keen? Maybe, but the problem is how many 8 year olds actually read the mag? They are better served by matchday programmes for that sort of thing. Plus now the mag is properly bound, it's a lot harder to "pull out"! When RLW used to do the pull out posters it was a jack of all trades mag, and consequently was a master of none. It instantly reduces the gravitas of the mag in the readers mind, regardless of the rest of the actual content. It would be ok if RL had a "Match" style mag, as that's where you would expect posters of football stars - after all you don't see posters of players in Four Four Two. Of course RL is nowhere near popular enough to sustain that sort of kids mag. Since they got rid of the posters and the like, RLW is a much more focused and considered magazine - and all the better for it (IMO). I'm sure if John has a massive outpouring weeping for their return, they would be back. I wouldn't hold your breath though as I think it is the first and only time it has been brought up.

Blind side johnny Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 For next month how about a free vuvuzela with each copy? The kids would like that I reckon. Sport, amongst other things, is a dream-world offering escape from harsh reality and the disturbing prospect of change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timtum Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 Bought it for the first time in ages and enjoyed it. A couple of fillers.... but thought that the JJB interview was very well done, and the usual excellence from Mr Hadfield. Sad to see the retirement of the French correspondent - will you be replacing the coverage of the French game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
