I have subscribed for just over a year now, and have just signed up for another year. I really enjoy the read every week, adds something to a friday for me to be honest knowing my Boxing News will be on my porch floor when I get home.
There are problems though. And I was one of those who was excited about a new layout etc, but so far it's not completely won me over. Sometimes I actually look back at the A3 BN's we've had until now and wish it was like that again even though they used to fall apart, poor quality, etc. Just seemed like more of a paper, I agree with the pamphlet/brochure comments about the new style. I'm giving the new format time to impress me some more but so far there's something missing I think.
I'll be severely pissed off if they repeat last year's X-Mas edition farce with a so called 'double issue' and then put more adverts and pictures in than ever. But on the whole I give the guys a lot of credit for what they do at BN and to be fair I'd probably be lost without it as I'm not a huge boxing website visitor myself.

I have always been a sporadic BN buyer but have found myself buying more issues lately for some reason. Always a winner to read when bored at work
