Does anyone have a spare from the pompey friendly ? put a box of tat together from the boys first game but didnt realise they had them available.
Edit: as above, went I the shop and spent money just didn't see the programmes
If you don't manage to track one down, they're available to order from the website. The trick is to ignore the club shop and follow the options to buy tickets - "home matchday programmes" is near the end of the list, just after "women's away tickets"".

Where does it say its only available in the club shop.
Glad I'm not the only one who missed this. Never been to a game and not been able to get it on Floyd Rd. Unless they weren't selling them outside the ground yesterday?
The Pompey one was a joke. £2 and was 2 pieces of paper stapled together. (may be 4 but that is maximum). Hopefully it's not going to be like that for the regular buyers this season.
Highly unlikely. I can see why you wouldn’t bring in the external company which sells programmes for these games. I just don’t get why you would produce a programme and not go to any effort to sell it.
if you tried it for league games it would last one match.

Huddersfield went to a newspaper style programme around seven years ago, that lasted only one season.

I guess because you’re obligated to create one anyway. I agree it seems silly not to sell them outside the ground, especially if fanzines like MOD mag are available. Surely wouldn’t be hard to station one person outside each home stand at least?

No obligation any more. No programme at Wigan last Saturday, and the monthly magazine they introduced to replace it has also been dropped in favour of a free online information pack.
used to collect programmes, gave a couple of thousand away to @Lewis Coaches a few years ago. Wouldn't buy one myself now unless it were a special game, a Wembly final for instance, because I get all I need online now but can understand why some people still collect them. Selling just in the shop is madness, why not a single seller near the club shop? If nayone wants a programme that much they can go there to get one.

I think programmes are a generation thing and with mobiles now the sales of programmes have declined. It broke my heart to give up collecting when I moved, it's part of the fabric in going to a game, but for a certain age range. It would be interesting to know a print run nowadays compared to 30 years ago.

Obviously a lot fewer, even allowing for the decline in crowds. I would think the print run is circa 2,000 now. We used to sell between one in two and one in three, and for big games more than one in two.
Programs are another victim of the modern communication situation. People used to buy programs to read the latest news from the club and get team news etc. nowadays everyone probably knows everything that is likely to be printed in the program

The combined programme and handbook costs £6 and will be available on matchday in the club shop and from vendors around the ground.
