Boycott anyone who advertises. in it and let the advertisers know it. Won't be anyone paying for advertising then.
Come to think of it is there a list of cafc sponsors and advertisers who could be contacted to ask if they will withdraw? Would hit the owner in the pocket and his ceo can continue to wax lyrical about how little value fans' revenue is.15 -
Only KM could plan a publication of ten pages . . . would two of them be a flysheet?8

KM is seth plum shocker ;-)1

If she does that we will be the first league club not to issue a matchday programme.7

Given the lack of programme seller's this doesn't surprise me. Still probably saves a few bob so we can give another 3/4 year contract to the next Polish Pete or Bergdich0

FFS. This is farcical.2

"Programmes are only one third of our match day business. When you go to a cinema or restaurant you do not buy a programme. I think that those who do want programmes are weird."46

Not concerned ...it won't get that far.0

So the matchday programme becomes replaced by a Pamphlet, just curious to know what would happen if the pamphlet then gets the elbow by KM.
Are Clubs obliged by the FA to produce a matchday programme. She would rather get rid of the matchday programme anyway so would like to know could we end up being the only club in the football league without a Matchday programme. She had an idea to move the programme online anyway.1 -
That'll improve communication then. What's the job of the new starter in February going to be exactly?WSS said:1 -

I would have thought @Airman Brown would have heard about such a plan before Jimmy Stone, who used to be such a fan of KM...0

Honestly I dislike this ownership as much as many but as far as ideas go an advertiser funded team sheet given away for free isn't the most stupid of ideas.
Given all things I used to buy a programme for - youth team info & results, club info are all readily available on the website or social media in real time. Moving with the times and giving away free sheet media rather than spend time every week putting together a comprehensive programme which I imagine they sell less and less of eachseason and while it goes against every single tradition for me it kind of makes sense... Dare I say it it's almost progressive in its thinking.
I'll now go and sit and thing about what I've just said.5 - Sponsored links:

Would the Football league even allow this?0

Don't need a match day programme, you can see the teams up on the "best" "big" screen.......oh

However it would also be further erosion of tradition and the sentimental things about football that "just are".
There's more to running a football club than running a slick streamlined operation and saving a pound note even approaching 2016 and that's what this lot are failing to grasp.
The sum of all parts are often greater than the individual components and stripping away things bit by bit devalues the "experience" (to use their terminology) as opposed to enhancing it.
Rash action without consultation with those that matter. Save a few pennies short term but lose many pounds thereafter.15 -
Something can be both a good idea but executed horribly at the same time. Our benefactors have time and time again proven this.T said:Honestly I dislike this ownership as much as many but as far as ideas go an advertiser funded team sheet given away for free isn't the most stupid of ideas.

I agree that this is arguably progressive. I'd wager match day programmes for games other than cup finals will not exist in 50 years time. But that doesn't mean now is the right time to phase them out, especially with this unconvincing regime being responsible for the replacement.4 -

And BTW, is the programme profitable? She presumably thinks not, what's her case?PragueAddick said:

Even if the programme is profitable perhaps she thinks this will be more profitable ?PragueAddick said:

God knows because I certainly don't think she does.2 -
a couple of years ago at one of our games at Huddersfield their programme was a newspaper, can't remember if it was free or just a few pence0
