Question How is todays NEW programme?? or is it different

[ozzie]

wondering here in Germany,is this seasons "prog" any better -newer than last seasons.
How much is it now?
Remember my first game,the 67-68 season..at last getting a prog-mag only about SUFC,buying it, as i walked into the west side ,then going to the South bank...a geezer shouting "buy your Blues programme here"..it was great.
Then the 68-69 prog ,first game v Halifax Town...WOW a lot better.Since that day always look foreward to ,first game,new prog.
It only then costs 1 shilling(5np)..
What was very good then,not sure if they have done it since...was the league tables...
Not only was it p-w-d-l-f-a-pts..
but next to each team was leading club goalscorers, attendances...total,highest and average,,
Being a 11 year old,every sunday morning buying a paper to see whats what.
Looking at my old prog here..march 69...we are 10th,but still have the best average than any team.
Nice to look at the scorers of the other teams,legends of the 4th..
Of course ours was KING BILLY..
But names like...Aldershot..Howarth..Halifax..Massie,..Notts c,Bradd..Grimsby,BRACE..who came to us later,but to be fair,was always Grimsby..like KING BILLY is always ours

Have you seen the errors in the Fixture list?

There's two sets of October fixtures. Our November fixtures listed as taking place in October and not separated from the actual October ones. As a result every month onwards from October is one month earlier than what it should be. Meaning that, according to the programme our season is finishing on April 2nd..

Lol, no I didnt get as far as that.

Pretty poor proof reading and quality control all round then.

Oh and we're playing Newport on Tuesday 7th August.......

Sometimes I wonder why I still buy a programme - the extra information on the opposition is an improvement.

The fixtures page is completely ****ed up for October and November!

I know they are a collectors item for some people and kids like them but in this digital era we live in now I'm surprised programmes haven't died out

Think it was OBL who posted that someone at the club said that they aren't really making clubs any money anymore, but no club wants to be the first to kill them off.

 

[Thundersley Blue]

I always buy the 1st of each season so pretty disappointed with the errors. Really not good enough !

Horrible cover.

Proper colour photos please.

Why spend £3 on a programme to remember the game, when a pint costs the same and helps forget the woeful performances... :winking:

I used to love collecting programmes as a kid, and I still give them a read from time to time and it's interesting to see opposition players/youngsters that go on to do great, but I wouldn't buy one now unless it was a play-off final.
