    I sign up for 2 years at a time, and usually always get my copy in the post on a Friday.

    I note companies like Amazon & Play.Com are using different couriers. There has been no comment on BN what they will do during a strike. If they plan to use the royal mail I would prefer to freeze my subscription and buy a copy as before until the strike is over.

    Imagine how annoying to receive nothing for ages and then get 6 weeks worth on the same day, and knowing the results at the time of reading the reviews

    Friday is not the same for me without BN. I begrudge buying another copy when I have a 2 year subscription.

    It pisses me off when that happens. However mine arrived today and I was delighted because I feared that it may have been caught up in the backlog and would not be around until next week.

    I got mine this morning. Usually it turns up on a Friday which is great for the Friday night fight but the latest blip with the strike was expected so I did not mind too much. Looking forward to seeing how wrong they were about the Rhodes vs Moore fight though.

    Now Saturday and no BN. If and when it arrives next week the Quigley v Smith preview will really **** me off rather than interest me.

    If this carries on next week I will not get the Valuev v Haye preview before the fight.
