HoylandOwl Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 To scrap their matchday programme it’s a shame as I’ve always been a huge advocate of the programme. However, it’s not a simple task compiling one for every game, and with sales dwindling across the board it doesn’t surprise me. I think it’s Hibs who have already swapped theirs for a monthly edition, IIRC, north of the border. Do any of you lot still buy a programme?

Tank_Owl2,0 Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 £3 last time I bought I think, which was just before the pandemic I think. £3 isn’t too bad for what it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hirstys 12th Pint Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Used to get Half Pint one every game until about 3 years ago when he said he wasn't bothered. Not bought one since. I also used to buy a Newspaper most days and also magazines and now buy neither. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owl71 Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 Used to buy programmes when I was a kid. Haven’t bought one since. There are now so many ways you can find out information about what’s going on at the club you support, match programmes do seem like an anachronism. Mind you, the appeal to kids maybe still stands, as there is the element of having a memento from an exciting thing you did. I don’t buy merchandise from museum shops any more either, as an adult.

Bellsview Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 Best way to do programmes now is as e-programmes - especially if they include links to win prizes, or include points via e-codes which count towards away tickets. Wouldn’t take much thought or effort to make them appealable to supporters again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingys Ginger Mullet Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 I think e-programmes to run alongside the physical copy would be a good option too. The edge matchday programmes still have over social media feeds is it's easier to look back and reminisce if you have a copy to refer to. A lot of fans see the programme as record keeping rather than just providing news in the moment also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
