How many of you buy a matchday programme?

[NMH]

Cheap when compared to concert programs, which are normally around £10, consist of 6 or 8 poor photos of someone you are about to see and hear, with zero information. But then 10 years or more later you can sell them on for £50, if the band still have cred.

Albion programs are keepers, and become more interesting with time. You can read them over and over, and are normally stacked with information (alright, so they have a few dozen ads as well)

always get one home and away.

 

[SeagullRic]

Yes, always

 

[Kenhead]

I use to buy one for every game I went to, but over a Christmas period about 4 seasons ago I realized that I was spending over £10 on programs in about 8 days.
I normally do about 40 games a season, so I’m now saying over £100 a year!

 

[Braders]

yes , because i can

 

[Scotty Mac]

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

exactly my view - £3 a game on a programme can be better spent on getting to a couple of away games a season

the only games i have got a programme from in the last three years are the ones in which a family friend goes in hospitallity and as such gets us one for free

Bloody freeloading students.

I put on a grey wig and tell the seller I am an old fogey and buy one for 1.5'.

The worrying thing is I don't need the grey wig

I always get one out of habit, have a skim through it and that's it. To be honest it is a rip-off and has nothing of note inside.

As other have said, it works out at a lot of money for very little.

I hope most people purchased today's, for the centre page picture of Gully's Girls.

Er, rubbish.

It has some great articles in it. You'd know, if you read it.

According to the Racing Post they smell.

I don't bother to buy one, because I nick my dad's when I come in.

It's usually a good read and I like the fact they have "football" articles rather than just Albion related ones.

I'd like to see more of that to be honest.

The perfect football programme would be something like When Saturday Comes, with obviously a lot of Albion content.

That would be impossible to produce twice a month, but it would be be nice to see the matchday programme possibly link up with a magazine like WSC and "borrow" past articles in return for free advertising.

I'm surprised a football magazine hasn't done something like that already.

I always get one. Without sounding morbid, i'm never sure when i'm gonna get to go again, so i like to have a memento.

I've got one of pretty much every game from our last couple of seasons at the Goldstone. I didnt realise at the time, but they've become very treasured memories now

What articles are these? Can you give me an example?
