    This doesn't seem like a good deal to me. Surely, by paying up front and purchasing EVERY programme, you should be making a saving.

    Assuming we don't have any home cup games, this works out at £6.30 a programme. Programmes were £4 last season, other than the £6 programme for the first game.

    If we stick with the same price per programme, we need 13 home cup games (impossible) for a saving to be made. Even if the programmes cost £5 next season and the initial programme costs £8, we still need five home cup games for a saving to be made.

    Just one small flaw in your argument.

    They have to be delivered by post. Postage costs a small fortune.

    Personally, I've always found the subscription service first class even if those delivery times sometimes seem to get slightly stretched!

    Anyone still buying programmes need their head examined. Out of date as soon as it's printed.

    If you want a memento of the match, get a half and half scarf :)

    The programmes have got worse and worse over the years. They seem to be put together by people who haven’t a clue. And go straight in the bin after reading.
    But I still buy one every match, as I have done since the mid 60s. 🤷🏻
  • If I didn't need a microscope to read the content I'd buy one for most games. Instead, I probably buy one or two a season. Then regret buying those once I attempt to read them.

    Is it true that clubs are obliged to provide a programme? Is there a rule about what a ‘programme’ should be like?
    I sometime think that a free at the turnstile up to date paper teamsheet (like the ones Scoop provided) would do the trick.

    Complete waste of paper considering you can Google the starting lineup 1 hour before kick off.

    Sure. However, from a consumer's perspective, there's little incentive here given that you can buy the programmes at the match and also request copies of older ones from the club shop.

    Assuming we have no home cup games and the pricing remains the same as last season, every programme will cost £94. This means you're paying £51 for delivery.

    I don't really see who this benefits other than those who don't go many games, but still want every programme (and also don't live nearby or don't want to go out), and those who don't like carrying a programme around with them on the day.

    It stopped being mandatory to produce a programme for EFL games for the 18/19 season. Several clubs already don't make them. From what I remember, we won't be getting programmes at Blackburn, Lincoln, Millwall, Swansea and Watford this season.

    This is true for those with access to the internet.

    Or the screen around the ground, or wait until KO. All better options than giving out 16000 sheets of A4 paper each game.
