[Albion] How much of the match day programme do you actually read?

[countryman]

I read most of it.

When they do the stat page properly that is my favourite page. But lately there has been programmes that only have one stat; the attendances.

 

[Mowgli37]

I tend to read it all of we've won, but find I have no interest in reading it if we've lost.

I am totally aware that there is really no logic in this.

Funnily enough I keep them stacked by season with the biggest wins at the top to the heaviest losses at the bottom (while not the biggest, the play-off semi's programme went straight to the bottom) and in the event of identical scores the more enjoyable game will be placed higher. Very sad and pedantic I'll admit.

 

[Goldstone Rapper]

Only kidding If I wanted a photo of the team I'd go for some off the official site or cut out of the Argus rather than the garish nightmares in the programme!

Bless young Tobes. But I wonder how many people were traumatised to see Toby Agdestein's acne problem in close up when he was cover star in the programme in the first season at the Amex.

Stopped buying when they went up in price, it was a choice of that or cutting down on the beer.

 

[rouseytastic]

I read it cover to cover but never on a match day. I either read it while I'm smashing a kebab in to my face when I get home or on the lav the next morning cleansing myself of aforementioned kebab. Exactly the same goes for TSLR (which is a cracking read especially last months)

 

[TheJasperCo]

What's this about the Albion Roar from previous threads? Is it like an unofficial BHA match programme, and is that worth buying instead? Just curious is all.

 

[elbowpatches]

I don't get to many games so usually buy one, especially away games. If I had a season ticket I doubt I would though.

Digital copy of tslr is great. Look forward to it appearing every month and is a much more enjoyable read.

 

[Luke93]

I pick out the interesting bits, but that varies on my mood and the content of the program. Probably around %30-40 of it.

Amazing how the club programme can't sustain a digital edition and yet the rather brilliant TSLR can...

 

[MissGull]

I read all of it, I think it's pretty good.

 

[Gazwag]

Always buy TSLR which is a bargain at a pound. I stopped buying the programme at the start of last season to save eighty odd quid which equates to travel to a couple or three away matches

 

[Braders]

Most of it , unless it clashes with TSLR coming out - then I tend to read TSLR , a bit on the team coming down here and Hineys piece

 

[Superphil]

Tend to read it, over a period of a couple of days, cover to cover with the exception of the kids section. Normally ends up in the rack by the bog. The missus has her copy beside the bed for a week or so , depends on how lush the centrefold is.

 

[Baaaald]

Haven't bought one for two years. They get in the way of the beer drinking before the game and afterwards quite frankly I haven't time to read it!

 

[Dr. Notthenineo'clocknews]

bought one at Withdean, inside was the biggest pile of shite I've ever read, how Mike Wards article on the Brighton Palace rivaly was ever allowed to go to print i'll never know. Never bought one since.

 

[Justice]

I used to get them religiously in my teens which was a long time ago, now I cant be bothered its just the same old shit rehashed although it is good fun looking back at the old eighties ones.

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

Too expensive. Interesting to know how many they shift per match because no one around us ever seems to have one.

 

[downham seagull]

Usually read all if it, takes a good half hour, always read the visiting team section

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Too expensive. Interesting to know how many they shift per match because no one around us ever seems to have one.

I've heard it's approx 4000.

Following Hans Kray's logic, I only buy a programme after a game that I've really enjoyed or is particularly memorable. They're sold in the shop, so maybe 3 or 4 a season. I read the vast majority of one when I do get it.

I see our glorious radio show mentioned, and I respond.

But I'm sorry to say, I don't understand what you're saying.
