So FIXTURE CARDS aren't going to be printed this season then?

In London village.
Fixture cards are like red Telephone Boxes and Sports Report - do the right thing, Mr Barber.

I love them. I'd be happy to pay 50p and I'm sure others would too.

So if you are posting on here one would assume you have access to the Internet, therefore you get the fixtures list with no need for a little card? Just print it off if you want it in your wallet! Not really a big issue is it!

Now listen here Totton, I can see porn on the internet, but it doesn't beat a good hard copy of Razzle from the newsagents. Comprendez?

I'm with the op and I'd be happy to pay for small card fixture list that fits in the cc holder in my wallet.

I don't want some folded up printed A4 sheet that I have to unfold to look at and ends up all tatty. I have reverted to having a basic mobile phone so can't put them on there or look them up when I'm out and about.

The club should think about the old gits who don't walk about banging into people and lamp posts and spending every free waking moment ****ing around with a phone.

Print some cards you cheapskate club, how hard can it be?

It doesn't cost the club much to print them. And if Mr Barber insists on calling us customers (which I don't mind myself), surely the club should attempt to have the best customer service with little touches like fixture cards.

Exactly. And if it causes 10 people not to miss a game over the season, that'll pay for it.

Also, can you download the fixtures onto an iOS calendar like last year?

In the eventuality of a fixture card being produced by The Argus if the club isn't doing one , what size plastic wallet is needed to keep it dust free ?

I've got my Portland Seadogs one here -- going to the Dogs later this week -- and I'm guessing one of the sponsors actually does them up, from artwork prepared by the club, or more likely a club contractor ran them up from club sata and send a pdf. out to the printers'. (This is AA ball, and the team's staff is maybe a dozen bodies.)

I get mine at the gas station, where there's a stack of them from March till they're gone. Red Sox too. Most places that sell beer have them.

Been done this way since year dot. With 100+ games even for the minor leagues, they're usually tri-fold lhingies... There's a small collectables market in pocket schedules. I was surprised to see how many US teams, even college teams, have theirs up on eBay.co.uk

Oh, and the SeaDogs have a poetry contest co-sponsored by the University of Maine Farmington. Nice pictures of Frost, Whitman, and Donald Hall on the flyer.

With modernity? Perhaps you could add the dates to your filofax........

I ask myself 'How does a Roman do this' and the answer is, you set one of your slaves to chanting it until he has it memorized, and then add him to your retinue. Then you can turn to him and ask "Cinname, dic mī iterum, quando contra Burnley contendimus?'

Although technnically a breach of copyright laws, you could design the 2013 fixtures on one side, and the 2014 fixtures on the other, take the artwork to a company that prints business cards, and get them done yourself. About £70 for 500 - provided you can get 500 mates to cough up 14p each...
