Herman 9,764 Posted August 5, 2011 Why do people buy them nowadays? Is it simply out of habit like myself? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Branston Pickle 3,657 Posted August 5, 2011 It is probably out of habit as much as anything, but I always buy one, and have programmes for all the games I''ve been to barring two-three matches (and have been going regularly for 27 years). I don''t suppose a price increase will stop me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
I am a Banana 0 Posted August 5, 2011 Stopped buying them, and had a bet instead Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Herb 0 Posted August 5, 2011 Never bought them myself, except for maybe the first few games I went to as a kid. I suppose it would be nice to have the odd one for big games but other than that they would just add to the multiple boxes of other crap I have that I don''t have the heart to throw out.

NWC 240 Posted August 5, 2011 The only thing they are usefull for are player numbers of the opposition.Most of the news in there we,ve heard before and the rest are just stats and adverts.What, will I be buying one? Yes of course, I get to more away games then home, and its a bit of a Carrow Road tradition for me, and another way of supporting the club. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gingerpele 0 Posted August 5, 2011 I have 100s of Programmes, had to move them to my Grandad''s house last year, because had know where to put them all at home.According to those ''cost of football'' figures, only two teams where charging £3.50 everyone else was still at £3...

Rupethebear 0 Posted August 5, 2011 The cost of the programme is paid for by the adverts, thats £3.50 per game I will be saving! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigManInTheBarclay 75 Posted August 5, 2011 50p increase?Outrageous! ......actually I don''t care and will still be buying them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grantroederdisaster 0 Posted August 6, 2011 I have always bought them and nowadays the prog at home games is a good read but the price is really too much! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Davo 0 Posted August 6, 2011 I don''t buy many programmes these days except for the big or important games. I think Ipsh!t and Cov were the only two I actually bought. A 50p increase isn''t a lot more if they are going to add more content.I do however find it a shame that we are charging more than the vast majority of other Prem clubs. Even if it is only 50p more.Davo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mello Yello 2,293 Posted August 6, 2011 Is it the new ''hardback'' edition? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mello Yello 2,293 Posted August 6, 2011 Maybe the 50p increase is apparently because the club intends to tape a set of five coloured felt tips onto the new matchday prog? So the kids (and some adults) can ''Pimp my programme'' ...... Unfortunately, my matchday prog is complementary, so it will therefore be utilised as loft insulation for the forthcoming harsh winter..... I also wonder if the complementary beverage cups have been reduced somewhat in size from last season (when you had to pay for them)? The complementary biccies, will probably now be some sub-standard brand of rich tea, gingernuts (and include fig rolls for the older fans to ''keep ''em regular'')..... Wonder how long the complementary ''stuff'' will last.....? Had it all before as part of my season-ticket many years ago.....Can anyone else remember? It was soon was abandoned due to some financial ''reasons''...... It''s certainly good to bitch and get it off one''s chest.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yellow blood 0 Posted August 6, 2011 I saw the Leicester one this week from their game against Real Madrid and it''s like a paperback book with a proper spine etc. I think it was £3.00.Incidently, Leicester are laying on pre-match entertainment every homegame...Thai boxing!

Canarino 0 Posted August 6, 2011 Went to Deepdale today to see PNE, our local team, in advance of the real start to the season next weekend - and their programmes were £3, not as big as ours, not as good as ours by any stretch of the imagination. So £3.50 seems perfectly acceptable really. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Canarino 0 Posted August 6, 2011 Haha YankeeCanary, well they ARE only League 1 now so maybe it''s over the top to ask £3. It was a dire performance from Preston against Colchester so I looked on their forum tonight to see what their fans were saying about it. One said optimistically "Colchester beat Norwich 7-1 and Norwich went on to win the League that year". Then someone else said "Yes, but only because they appointed Colchester''s manager" :-D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
