How many of you buy a matchday programme?

[bright1064]

Just out of interest.

I'm on the fence when it comes to spending three quid on a programme for EVERY match. So I buy them as and when I want to really.

If you do - why?

If you don't - why?

 

[Sillwood]

Yes-but tricky choice if it was either programme or chips & tea!

 

[Beach Hut]

Always home games, never away

 

[Box of Frogs]

Too expensive

 

[Burgess Hill Seagulls]

Never at home. Although i did buy the falmer special one. No point getting them at home, same old boring stuff every week.
Now and then away but not often.

 

[Hiney]

Always - home and away

I get 2 - one to read and one to keep. The one to keep is kept in a protective SHEATH and lovingly stored.



*OCD*

 

[Frutos]

I do, every game.

Gives me something to read on the way home, and it's probably now force of habit as much as anything else.

 

[csider]

You keep them in a condom?

 

[clippedgull]

I bought the 'Falmer' special but I doubt I will buy another one until the 1st game at Falmer.

If they were £1.50-£1.75 then I may bite but in my opinion they are not worth £3. Especially when most of the articles appear either online or in The Argus

 

[Old Greg]

momentos - i have a programme for every match i have ever been too.

 

[fatbadger]

I've only ever bought one programme at a Brighton game - the first one my son went to, as a souvenir.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

I buy one for my boy at every match I go to. I probably wouldn't bother for myself.

Ours is better than most, though it is in the upper price bracket - a fair few others are still £2.50.

 

[dougdeep]

Used to, until I worked out that I had a better use for £80.

Only go to away games, so could be interesting variety.

But isn't - only ever has write-up of visitors, so BHA every time for me. noticeable that the info is quite often wrong, and/or out of date.

Even home fans would find write-up of their own players interesting - over a season nowadays there are many players brought in, or moved on/loaned out. Every home game will have a number of new or returning fans, but will find the program has little or nothing about their own players

Too expensive, especially as usually packed with adverts.

Too expensive, especially as printed on peculiarly glossy paper which no pen so far invented will write on. Not a lot of use if you wish to get autographed by players.

 

[jonny.rainbow]

Nope.

The ticket price is enough of a rip off.

 

[vulture]

Get every home one sent to me by club shop......have them in a binder most seasons home since 1987-88

 

[Curious Orange]

I get one at every match I go to - always an interesting read.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

I love our programmes. A highly intersting read and always good to refer for the opposing players/team. We are quite blessed to have such a good programme with many intersting articles and facts from the past and present. I would feel naked without a programme to hand.

 

[SNOOBS]

I rarely do, when we played Barnet in the JPT it was only a quid so I tried - It was 3 pages long.

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

My son likes to have one. It will get well thumbed but he also insists that we "keep it flat" so he can add it to his collection. Hrd to do in the exposed South Stand.

Wouldn't buy one myself probably, but back in the day when I was a season ticket holder I bought one at every game and kept them in a draw for years until the bottom gave way. Sadly, I think my Mum threw them out when she moved home a few years ago.
