Looks like a return to the old style club programme again, Game On magazine has ended.What does everyone think?Would you buy a programme again or are they a thing of the past and would it be better with just a teamsheet on the gate.Must admit i didnt buy the Game On Mag and have thousands of old progs in the loft and have got out of the habit of buying them now.
Game On Matchday Mag ended

if everyone bought a programme then it'd be a good earner for the clubs, with only a hand full of people interested these days it tends to be a big drain.
last years extended team sheet is enough for me.

I'd rather spend money on the half time tickets, cheaper for the club to produce, a chance of winning some cash and more space left in the loft!

Most clubs sold their own match day programmes at a loss. In todays financial climate can't see many clubs reintroducing them, especially as the printers always wanted a minimum order.
For Hunslet far better to continue with the match day teamsheet, plus a few notes, at 50p, it's more up to date

I wasn't a fan of game on but loved our own program, plenty of good reading and I liked the puzzle page for the kids plus we need to produce the programs next season to keep Geoff employed.

Previously clubs were obliged to produce a matchday programme as a condition of their licence; whether this will be continued or not I don't know but it would seem likely. The alternative of simply producing teamsheets, whislt financially pragmatic, does put the competition at the level of the amateurs doesn't it?
I don't know what the answer should be, unless you put a quid on the gate and give everyone a free programme.

I remember that when Sheffield Eagles first entered the Rugby League, they produced programmes which covered two matches (with two sets of teamsheets, and two sets of appropriate pen pics) as opposed to the traditional one.
Whether thats still feasible, I don't know.

When Sunday rugby first started, it was illegal to charge admission so they made it so admission was by programme only. I don't know if this law was ever changed.

Yes it was, within just a couple of years. If you also remember there always had to be a "free gate" for those who didn't want to buy a programme, as they couldn't charge for admission alone. Strangely enough this free gate was always mighty difficult to find at most grounds.

I've just had confirmation that clubs will be obliged to produce matchday programmes, not least to fulfil the obligations to sponsors.

Clubs should still produce programmes, it keeps us exiles up to date. I would be willing to contribute to it should it be required.
