standley Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Just bought a copy of Planet Hearts new edition in Diggers. Brilliant! Just as good as it used to be with all the old favourites, but a full gloss mag job. Hope they are going to do more than just the one edition. Been told they are also in Dickens and Robertsons and on sale at the match on Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bighusref Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 I'll probably buy it today. I liked the original run (although the editor/writer wasn't overly keen on constructive criticism on here IIRC) and am hopeful that it it will still be a fun read. ?3.50 is a bit of a jump. Given it was ?1 five years ago, that is a real leap of price. Just compare it to the pint that I will buy alongside it, some say that beer prices keep jumping, and ?3.50 for a pint is quite common. Thinking back, beer has probably went up a pound in five years. However, as Bev states, it could be because they have added loads more to the content and style of magazine. The unfortunate thing, when magazines like FourFourTwo are about a fiver, it is pushing it's expectations up higher. I look forward to quite a chunky magazine with a lot more content than the old version of Planet Hearts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I look forward to quite a chunky magazine with a lot more content than the old version of Planet Hearts. You will be dissappointed I think. More style than substance for me. A good few typo's and someone doesn't know Jamie Walker from Temps (the clue is in the Scotland jersey lads !) not what you would expect from a quality production at a preminum price. Some of the articles are just thinly veiled adverts and the 'letter frae China' is poor schoolboy humour probably have been better replacing it with something written by a famous hat kicking supporter Reading that back it sounds a bit harsh but I always welcome new Hearts ventures and this is no exception and I would buy it if there is another issue.

I hope not BT. Let's be clear, I'll buy it in the pub, fold it once or twice (dependent on size) and it will be squashed in my pocket for two or three hours. When it gets home, it won't be in that great a state and I will not look and admire the style. I just want some Hearts stuff. I would be annoyed if a Hearts publication cannot accurately identify a particular Hearts player. It annoys me when it is the Glasgow press as it shows they care little about us, but a Hearts publication shouldn't get that stuff wrong. Still, I'll buy it if I see it and judge for myself, as we all will. On the bit above, does anybody remember the time a poster on here said that one of our young players was too slight and to evidence that put up a picture of a different youngster! I think the player in question was Robinson but cannot remember who the other player in question was. I think I remember the poster but shouldn't say.

Gerjambo Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 I'm there already Bev Thanks for all the comments on the new mag, guys. We?ll be taking on board everything that?s said ? positive and negative ? and working to ensure that the next issue?s even better than this one. As for typos, well, we did give the mag a good going-over before going to print, but inevitably some mistakes will always slip through. The mag was put together by a very small production team, this being a trial run to test whether there would be demand for a mag like this. But we all did our best to try to make sure that Planet Hearts would be a quality product that fans would want to buy. Depending on how sales go, we will then decide whether there are enough people prepared to buy and advertise in Planet Hearts to cover the production and printing costs. As for the cost: printing and production costs have soared since we were doing Planet Hearts four years ago. Also, in those days it was printed on much cheaper newsprint while the new magazine is printed on very good quality glossy paper. We feel that ?3.50 is a fair price to ask for it, and we hope fans agree. There is a digital version available, by the way, and it will be available from the new website at www.planethearts.net which will be launching imminently. You can also order a printed copy which will be posted out the next working day. In the meantime, it?s fingers crossed with us that Jambos will want to buy the mag and hopefully it will have a long-term future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bighusref Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Not all, just very robust constructiveness. Probably fair! In all honesty, I remember having a debate with the dude about it but honestly cannot remember exactly what my annoyance was. Whatever it was, it wasn't enough to stop me buying the remainder of the issues so it could not have been that big a thing. Anyway, on to the new, I am sure it will be an excellent read and well worth the money. If not, I reserve the right to opine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
