Match day programmes?

[Return of the Rev]

Do you always buy one? And if so do read it during the game,on the way home,or at home? The boys always have one but can't recall buying myself one for years.
To be honest i hardly look at theirs. How much interest do you show in our mtch day programme?

I have always bought one in the past as they have been a pretty good read although most of whats in them can be found via the website / argus etc. I stopped this season due to the cost increase as it I feel that one read and then they get filed in the loft so to keep my costs down I don't bother now. I have seen them this year and they seem as good as ever but for me it was just about reducing my costs on a match day as to why I've stopped getting them.

Last one I directly purchased was the final game at Withdean!

Won't be buying one anymore - too expensive for a flick through at the start of the game and then to be left on a shelf for eternity.

 

[Beach Hut]

Still buying one and normally read at various times in the week after the game.

loved the old programmes that didn't have too much to read, in the 70's it was the only way to get info.plus if you were in the middle of the north loads of people would sit down at ht so walkabouts were risky,10 min ht and you could read the programme twice.perfect! and only 5p

I always get one and I normally have a flick through to see what's in it before the match starts and I normally start reading it whilst I'm queueing for the train. Then I read the rest of it when I get home if it's a Saturday and if it's an evening game I'll read it the next day. Then it gets put in a draw.

Bought one every game up until this year. It's not so much the price rise although that does play a part, it's about keeping the cost down per game. Something had to go. Stopped buying programmes and hat-trick tickets, still buying pie and a few pints.

Not sure, but I think you can subscribe to an electronic version

Its more for the boys collection,they get the hump if programmes get damaged before getting them home.What about a regular subscription for each home programme for s/t holders,could even make it a bit cheaper

 

[Uwinsc]

I always buy one. I read them before the game and at half time by which time I have normally finished it but if not then when I get home. I will also go back and read old ones occasionally.

And you get the 10% discount so cheaper. I don't buy every programme, only the ones where we've had a memorable game. I peruse them at home during the week.

The content in them is superb compared to most other programmes I pick up away from home, so I always pick one up.

 

[Braders]

Yeah I still do , slowly running out of places to put them mind

I've done exactly this. Having bought a program for every match I've ever been to over 25 years of following the Albio, I've now stopped. It's actually been quite a freeing experience.
