I've collected them for many years, Notts County and other programmes, but we now live in a 24-hour media culture where you've already read or heard most of your club's news before you see it in a programme, and the team news is more accurate on your phone. Just a sign of the times and a new, less paper-based generation I suppose.
Alan Hardy previously stated on twitter that Notts would look at producing a supplement instead for around £1.50 , which would be a good alternative. It now seems he is unsurprisingly going back on that statement.
I have been collecting them for many years, and it is always good to look through them now and again , as they are good souvenir's of my time supporting Notts.
I think the cheaper version of the programme like we have for the checkatrade games, would be a good way forward.
Keep it to line-ups, a word from the manager, brief overview of the week, last match report & opponent information and charge £1.50.
Jeekay!!
The Football League Review....."jumpers for goalposts"... etc etc.
I absolutely loved it because colour photos in programmes were something of a novelty in the 70's. Clearing out a cupboard the other year, I found a mountain of them. The back cover usually featured a team photo of some team or other and the one I picked up was Workington. Holy siht, to think of us playing them in a league match NOSTALGIA !!
A printed programme stays the same over the years. Online news are edited every few seconds, minutes, months or years and eventually websites change names, get taken over or disappear and content is lost or changed. There is a use for programmes but maybe they should have been capped at £1-2.
