I have to admit I will miss the matchday programme, although it hasn't been the same since the demise of the Football League Review. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/44396446
Mr Hardy has stated that sales are falling 15% year on year.

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 !!
In my experience, Bobby Moore autographs fetch a very good price. He once signed 9 nine times each for me and a friend and 8 of them went on ebay to fund a family holiday in Gran Canaria. The last one is framed on my living room wall. The only downside is that I had to watch Forest play Fulham in the FA Cup to get them.
