Piss-poor programme covers

[Varndean VI Form College]

Now I'm no graphic design expert but I think I could have come up with a hundred more interesting themes for our deathly dull programme covers this season.

What's the appeal of seeing exactly the same design week by week; the only difference being the face of the albion player adorning the cover?

Have no idea why the club are persisting with the theme. Think they need to advertise for someone with a half decent imagination for the programme team.

It's a shame as what's in the programme is pretty good...

I agree - I don't even read through it anymore - just get it for souvenir value

It's very good quality though [paperwise]

I think it looks classy

You know things are going well at your club when the only gripe you have is programme cover quality

True dat but...what do you think of the programme covers?!

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Would it be churlish to also bemoan the fanzine cover quality?

 

[SeagullSongs]

Haven't they used Lualua 2 or 3 times this season?

TSLR is much better read

Worst thread of the year has a late entry with this one...........

For 3 quid you get a programme, nigh, a magazine back to back with quality stuff, and you moan about the cover?

Un f***ing real.

Agreed but...my point is about the clone club programme covers this season. No good in my opinion.

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Disagree. I think they are fine.

Does Gus actually write his column or is it ghost-written? It doesn't sound like how he would say it most of the time.

Think its an age thing-i think £3 is great value,still when i first started going to matches i could get in for £2.50(hmmm) best programme ever imo-yes a white background etc with a players face is dull at times,perhaps my only complaint.

The programme itself is good but the covers are dull; exactly the same each week giving them no individuality. I've over a thousand football programmes from the 70s to the current day and these are without doubt the drabbest covers.

How about this from 1978, with Wardy (That'll be the legend at half time today for the jcl's) used on every single one that season.

Graphic designers, my arse.

More action shots like this needed.

I'm just pleased we've got a programme we can be proud of this season. Even a mere two seasons it was awful with inconsequential fluff for content, overly dry layout and uninteresting photography.

I do wish there were proper profiles of all the opposition players and a squad photo of them, though.

Agreed. The content is good but the covers are repetitive and poor. We all know how important a cover is when someone is deciding to buy a book/magazine/programme. Crap covers=less money for our club.
