Match day programme

Post by Terrier » Fri Apr 28, 2023 5:55 pm

The only thing I would have paid for apart from my ticket was a programme on Tues night.
Feel a little robbed on such a fantastic night that I have no programme from a game with our rivals that finaly got us over the line for the league.
Are there any other clubs not producing a match day programme apart from this lot?

Just add it to the list of many petty things Blackburn tried to do and failed.

The following clubs do not produce a printed programme:-

Blackburn
Millwall
Reading
Fleetwood
Forest Green
Wycombe
Bradford City
Crewe
Mansfield
Bristol City
Swansea
Stevenage

The last three do produce a digital programme.
I believe ( although I may be wrong ) that it is compulsory for Premier League clubs to produce a printed programme.

Can't see the printing presses of Blackburn being needed anytime soon :D

It is compulsory in the Premier League - Blackburn claim to have a digital programme but I've not been able to find it.

That’s appallingly bad.

The thinly veiled dig at our summer business smacks of jealousy, particularly from a club who benefited from Walker’s money.

I've bought a phyical copy because I wanted a souvenir of an unforgettable night but what an awful effort it is.

Suspect the horse fiddlers weren't best pleased to read that Vinnie "further strengthened his squad in January".

There's another misprint on the same page. It refers to "a disappointing 3-0 defeat at Turf Moor in November".

I wasn't disappointed. :lol:

Typical of the PL. Don’t miss any opportunity to get fans to spend money.

Or typical of the Football League who allow clubs to offer no match programme. It’s a tradition of English football all the way down to local non leagues.

Complains about the number of players we've brought in then goes on to show they have a bigger squad than us....

I know it is Tony and it’s a fine tradition but if clubs want to go paperless it’s good for the environment surely?

Bearing in mind that paper lasts for ever (more or less) and is infinitely renewable, while the electricity used to power mobile phones is not, I suspect the environmental benefits aren't all they're cracked up to be.

Guy called Mark Kettlety prints them & sells them on eBay - drop him an email at sundayonly1@aol.com and he usually gives a discount.

I suspect the carbon footprint from the creation of ink, the creation of paper, the printing of the programme and the delivery of the programmes, creates a far greater footprint than an online version

And on the other side, the collectible programme is a permanent carbon capture sink and the electronic one is stored for ever in some electrically powered internet storage facilities. Who knows.

Mind you, it might be better to use newsprint instead of glossy paper.

You could well be right. It depends if we use paper quicker than we can replace trees. Having said that I still prefer real books to online but nearly always read online books now (but that may be down to me being a cheapskate). 😊
