I've been trying to get hold of Jon. I can imagine he may not be checking all his emails of late though.

If anyone has an inside line, please let him know that Subiesport Magazine is trying to get in touch. We've chatted in the past, so he should know me.

Mag was good, and worth persevering with.

Service, information, customer relations etc. was absolutely disgusting.

If they have closed down, the least he should do is come on here and explain to all the subscribers what the deal is. It will take 10 mins.

TBH ... the way they 've treated their subscribers this is hardly surprising ... not exactly a lesson in 'how to make friends and influence people!!'

Was planning on requesting a refund of my subscription ... now it looks like i'm just gonna have to whistle ...

... but think Mark is spot-on to say that the least we deserve is an explanation from Jon ... hasn't he been shaft1ng us subscribers for long enough ?? He should draw a line under this whole sorry effort!

I was annoyed that they couldn't make the effort to come to a Dyno Day at Powerstation for the South Wales Scoobies. We showed faith in them. They couldn't be @rsed to come to see us doing what their subscribers wanted to see. Fellow Scooby enthuiasts.

Where are they now? Counting our money? Not like there is a big print run to pay. Still running your company cars and petrol cards though I bet.
By reason the last issue should be already on our doormats.

Answers please Scoobymagazine. Or are you in Barbados?
