The New Programme

[Skaville]

My god, what a read! I have two young kids, so am rather pushed for time so the new programme takes me a good week! I'm not one of those who normally buys a lot of programmes, the odd one or two a season but the new ones are:

- Still three quid
- Chunky as hell
- Full of interviews with the players
- Often free with that new version of the Withdean Wager
- Brilliantly produced

Another HUGE pat on the back for all involved. Anyone else agree/disagree?

A lot of the credit for the design must go to Brilliant Orange, who added something fresh to the tired looking, threadbare publication that it used to be.

Including sellers ?

It is much better than it used to be. Someone has put thier brain in gear and made it a bit more innovative/ fresh.
Its got a better feel to it to.

It appears Brighton's programmes do quite well in Programme Of The Year Awards very regularly

Oh absolutely, programs are usually such a waste of money - the cardiff one a case in point, but our new ones really well put together

 

[Notters]

Often free?! We've had 18 scratch cards between us and not had a free programme!

I've bought three, two free programmes!

The quality and production is far superior than previously, I assume those involved now were also the ones that did the fabulous final Withdean program as well ?

The concertina ones from Div3 (S) were much,much better,and from a collector's point of view,easier to store.

Not sure I want to know Joe Blogg's favourite food,film,celeb,holiday destination,alternative career.

How about a matchday programme and a separate Albion magazine for those who want it ?

Our championship seasons are stored in my collection thus :

57/8 1 x 2 ring binder.
64/5 1 x 4 ring lever arch binder.
00/01 2 x 4 ring lever arch
01/02 2 x 4 ring lever arch
10/11 3 x 4 ring lever arch.

This is home and away programmes.

If we win again this season I'm gonna need an 11/12 filing cabinet.

It's a massive credit to the club, to whoever edits and designs it (and the cheery matchday sellers!) They've set really high standards, so hope they can keep it up!
As a kid, I used to read them cover to cover. In the last ten years I've only ever skimmed them and bought them really just to put a few extra quid into the club coffers. But now, I've been sitting down with it on Sunday and reading it all!

 

[BHAFC_Pandapops]

I love it, especially the A-Z that they have near the back, it makes me giggle a bit.

You mean the matchday magazine?

 

[Storer 68]

and the one they produced for the Sussex Senior Cup Final was like volume BHA of the Encyclopedia Britannica - it weighs an absolute ton

 

[Ninja Elephant]

It is a fantastic programme and perfectly suits our professional image. The away section is a little bit thin though, I like the interview with the fan section, but the information about the opposing team could be better. Very minor criticism though, it is a brilliant programme.

 

[Goldstone Rapper]

Agreed about the away team info. A squad photo, profiles and pic of each player would be great....

 

[Hiney]

You mean the matchday magazine?

No, the 'Official Matchday Programme', just like it says on the front cover.

It's an excellent read. Like Withdeanwombat says though, it's a bastard for storage space.

Sadly I haven't yet bought one as I only carry my smart card on matchday now (less for me to lose ). Haven't seen anywhere inside the ground to buy one, but maybe I am just being blind, and I can't be bothered to queue to get in the club shop pre match.

 

[Seagulls14]

there definitely worth £3

 

[Bob!]

I bought one for the Spurs Friendly and assumed it was so big/good because it was for the 'first game', hadn't bought one since.
Is the info any different to the stuff on the Official Site then?
