Pearcy Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 They seemed to sell out very early. Any ideas on how to get one? Anyone get one but now don't want it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pride of the west Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 Mate you didnt miss much. It was an A2 folded team photo on one side with the usual basics on the other. Sods message was good as always but that will be online tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnclosureSurge Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 You going to the rovers game? I'm quite enjoying this conversation between you two! I don't mind acting as middle-man. But I do charge a %. More seriously, try the club shop - they might have some in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin phantom Posted August 28, 2013 Admin Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 I never understand why programmes are downsized for these sort of games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Always Believesham Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 I never understand why programmes are downsized for these sort of games? Not large crowds expected, not much time to prepare - not the need to sell adverts I would buy a programme if it literally had, 2 squads on the back, SODs message and possibly something interesting about the away team. A cheeky half time quiz if there's still space to be filled. I frequently see programmes sell out these days, is this a sign of the times?

Drew Peacock Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 I frequently see programmes sell out these days, is this a sign of the times? (less being printed) Yes, City are printing far fewer and the programme sellers sell out before the game. Oddly, although the programme sellers never have enough and the Wolves programme "sold out", I did see one in the club shop when I bought my Palarse ticket, so it may be worth looking in there.

It's not just at City, 2 neutral games I can pick out where officially all programmes were out were both league two games - glamourous york v chesterfield and northampton v newport You're right about the clubshops though, Palace may even be worth a try if you're that desperate!

beaverface Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 Last nights programme was terrible. Two quid and it literally was a squad poster, SO'D's thoughts and the Palace squad - complete waste of money, but as I'm a gullible git who collects the programmes - it looks like I've been ripped off.......again.

After that it gets easier I'm hoping at some point to club just says "sod it" we're going electronic and they never print another programme ever again. At least I'll then know the finite numbers involved in collecting them :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCAGFC Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 You could always join the Bristol City Programme Club, guaranteed programmes, even cups & friendly games, if you let them know in advance. Contact Blagdon Mike on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMWANG50 Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 I often just print out the away squad from this site http://www.footballsquads.co.uk/eng/2013-2014/flone/bristolc.htm and not bother with a programme - use to get ridiculed in the Dolman for it but saved me a few quid to spend on pies.

everreddy Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 I'm a collector, too: got all the programmes since my first City match in 1958. City v Middlesbrough, Div. 2 (old) Atyeo and Cloughie the "centre forwards". Three gert boxes in my loft: must get 'em out and sort them, sometime... As for last night, nearly missed out, too. Went in to the Commercial office and asked if they had any spares. None available then, but "Olly" (not the same one - I don't think ) called me this morning to say they'd found a spare, and put it aside for me. Another example, for me, of a club that cares about its true fans.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anglia Red Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 Try to buy the last one of the season and get all the stats -otherwise not worth the money -though sometimes by one if we are away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
