Admin phantom Posted February 15, 2023 Admin Report Share Posted February 15, 2023 I honestly expected it to be more than £5 Just hope that it is a decent size and not the A4 nonsense that has been produced in the past 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to be an avid collector but since COVID thought they were disbanded? No they don't sell them outside the ground anymore but they do still put a programme together for every game and distribute it digitally for free. e.g. here's the one for Wigan tonight which was made available this afternoon - https://robinstv.bcfc.co.uk/digital-matchday-programme/ Edited February 15, 2023 by BCFC101 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBW Posted February 15, 2023 Report Share Posted February 15, 2023 (edited) They'll bring programmes back full-time if we ever get to the Premier League. Stopped getting them when they went past £2 years ago though. Everything is already online now so don't feel like I'm learning much from a programme like I did when I was a kid. Bit 'tin pot' for a FA Cup fifth round tie though... Cash grab. Edited February 15, 2023 by TBW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can I just ask, I have seen these scarves but have never, ever actually understood what they are for. I don't get the point. If someone could enlighten me please, thanks. I won't assume that because you might know that you have ever bought one. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the idea is that they are a souvenir to say you were at that match. Or it’s all complete bo@@&£%s. Your choice 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it would serve a small purpose if it was your local amateur club that made it through to play a Prem team in the FA Cup. At the level we are at we should welcome the match but aspire to winning it. No time to be in awe of Man City in my mind. Anyway, maybe there will be no scarves so could be I am getting on my high horse only to climb straight off again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elhombrecito Posted February 15, 2023 Report Share Posted February 15, 2023 I severely doubt the club itself will sell half and half scarves, but you can bet your mortgage on the fact that they'll be plenty of unauthorised sellers outside the ground selling them.

My point is, "Ohhh Man City are coming to town so we better do programmes again for an extra couple of k"... it's the fifth round of the FA Cup.

Have some respect for yourself and stop rolling out the red carpet. How many do you think they're going to sell exactly?... How many will they sell? Dunno - a few thousand. Raise an extra few quid for the coffers Its not obligatory to buy one you know. Its not about "rolling out the red carpet" - its maximizing revenue for the club. I have no problem with this as long as they don't take the piss. A fiver for a programme is fine i reckon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spudski Posted February 15, 2023 Report Share Posted February 15, 2023 In this day and age, you aren't going to get anymore information from a programme, because it's all on the net. Unless it's an exclusive interview, photo, info that hasn't been shared before. Programmes these days, are imo, are a momento of an occasion. In the same way you'd by a souvenir from a holiday and such like. It's nice to have a physical item to flick through in years to come, to bring back memories. In the same way as a Vinyl LP cover and insert with lyrics/ photos are. Now very popular again. I've still kept my programmes from Man Utd and Man City from a couple years back. I still thumb through them when I stumble on them. Memories flood back. If their were ' exclusive' interviews etc, then I think they would sell well and be kept. Get them signed, as I did with the aforementioned, even better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
