SummerInTheCity Posted August 27, 2021 Report Share Posted August 27, 2021 Thanks for this advice - just been in touch with Darren at bristolcityprogrammes, who was very helpful indeed. I'd sent him this message after seeing Fitzy Red's post above: "I was mortified by the Club's decision to stop printing them; I've attended games when I can since 1982, and buying programmes has always been an absolutely key aspect of the matchday experience. Attending now, I feel like something really important has been taken away. And the fact is that I am simply not interested in looking at content on a mobile device, PC, or tablet - I spend my life working on these platforms, and for some things, there's simply no substitute for the physical object! Do you know if there's any kind of petition to try and get the Club to reverse its decision and start printing again?" Darren's reply included this information, which I think he'll be happy for me to share with fellow programme-mourners as he suggested I comment on OTIB: I aim to deliver the day of the game if possible I have printed all the pre season games The following home games are available Celtic Cidereds Issue Pompey Cidereds Issue MK Dons Cidereds Issue Aston Villa Cidereds Issue Aston Vila Digital Issue Blackpool Digital Issue Swansea Digital Issue ( 2 Versions ) All the programmes above are priced @ £5 which also covers delivery if local or postage if further away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure?, I have seen programme sellers at all the home games this season When it was announced about the online versions people assumed that we had stopped printing actual copies but I have not seen anywhere where the club have actually said we have stopped selling printed versions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure that I have seen programme sellers around the ground, I thought on a previous thread other people had said they had seen them too Admittedly they could be being used to sell something else but the regular sellers have been in the usual places Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of people have decided to buy a fanzine now the programmes have gone. www.otibclothing.co.uk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fitzy Red Posted August 27, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2021 I would just like to add that the programmes are being out sourced and printed by a third party according to the email I received from Bristolcityprogrammes.com Probably due to possible copyright issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure he's not the only one who can't/ doesn't want to use technology. The club shop confirmed there was no printed copies at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
