We got the right people but need the small funding. People can't pay £5 a season but they can buy crap food for that amount in seconds. Are you saying the £5 should be compulsory? How would we enforce this?? Have you thought this through? What is it like to be in a physical relationship with a domestic appliance? tfj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E-books and such like are on the downturn, and continue to decline. Where as the appetite for printed books is on the increase...with the drive being led by the younger generation. The same can be said of music. Everything went digital...now the biggest growth in music sales is in Vinyl. People still crave something physical to hold, read and own. There is still a market for printed form. Funnily...the older generation are just catching up with digital form, and now get it and embrace it, whilst the younger generation are totally over it and looking for something else. Funny ol world. For all you old ens that never got to grips with digitization, and still crave print...who'd have thought that you are 'down wiv da kidz' again It's a rather debatable point if eBooks are on the downturn. Plus it is an unfair playing field. People who buy eBooks have to pay pretty much the same, if not more, than those who buy physical books despite the fact that all round it is a far, far cheaper product. Once publishers actually stop subsidising printed books by vastly overcharging those who buy the digital format, then eBooks will soar and the end of the printed version will be nigh.

1bristolcity Posted August 18, 2017 Report Share Posted August 18, 2017 Digital format heralded the end of a civilised format.... Print. We all thought that the digital camera was the start of something fantastic, instead it was the start of the meaningless snaps, selfies and utter mindless carp that passes a photog,,err photo... no I can't even compare it to the P word. What if we had never invented the printing press? What if we never had those old books, Newspapers, Novels and dare I say the Bible, don't think the digital format will replace the printed word, and of course footy programmes.

cidered abroad Posted August 18, 2017 Report Share Posted August 18, 2017 As an avid programme collector for most of my life, who hasn't bought one for ten years, I now realise that they are outdated. Just a one piece of paper with the squads is needed. I would however feel that an annual "Year Book" with all the stats would be much better than a match programme where the data is added after each match Thus one booklet to store instead of over twenty.

I'm not so sure mate...you can still download books for free with certain Apps. As for Cost...look at Vinyl records...the most expensive form to buy now, yet the biggest increase in sales.

Inactive user Posted August 18, 2017 Report Share Posted August 18, 2017 There will always be a hard-core who want a printed programme. I'd suggest trying to encourage season subscriptions and make them available to subscribers in both written and digital formats. May increase advertising revenue.

Never to the dark side Posted August 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2017 The digital format was in operation a little while back,but dispensed with for what ever reason Subscription is a good idea, so it could be on the lines of pay in advance for 20 copys and get 23 Although I think if you now buy a match day ticket and order a programme in advance you get 50 pence off the programme price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
22A Posted August 19, 2017 Report Share Posted August 19, 2017 For the first time in years, I watched Soccer AM. They featured Frickley Athletic's programme. On one one page there is a write up of their last match. Hold your iphone over it though and you can then watch the highlights as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foghornred Posted August 19, 2017 Report Share Posted August 19, 2017 Programmes are a part of football and there are lots of collectors, if you go on E-bay and search any club highest price items there will be a programme there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
