ladysaint Posted 28 January, 2010 Posted 28 January, 2010 apparently only about 3,200 printed for the Ipswich cup game for a crowd of 20k could be a collectors item when we get to the final :-)
St.Patrik Posted 28 January, 2010 Posted 28 January, 2010 The FA cup programm against Pompey will sell more then that small amount for sure.
Scummer Posted 28 January, 2010 Posted 28 January, 2010 I don't really understand why people buy programmes these days. Used to be worth it for the team numbers, but nowadays with all players names on shirts that need has gone.
John B Posted 28 January, 2010 Posted 28 January, 2010 I always bought a programme when they were relatively cheap and had information in them which was new these days with the Internet we know so much more
ladysaint Posted 28 January, 2010 Author Posted 28 January, 2010 Maybe we could have an online version of the programme. I do understand that the requirement for programmes has gone down but there are still quite a few who do keep their programmes and catalogue them.
Durleyfos Posted 28 January, 2010 Posted 28 January, 2010 My father-in-law bought one at the Ipswich game and gave it to me. Woo Hoo, ebay here I come!
Tractor_Saint Posted 28 January, 2010 Posted 28 January, 2010 Maybe we could have an online version of the programme. I do understand that the requirement for programmes has gone down but there are still quite a few who do keep their programmes and catalogue them. Trying to help my girlfriend get all her programmes from around 1981 - 1985 season. Can't believe how cheap the missing programmes are on ebay, they are going for around 50p or so (plus P&P) and impressed that they are available. We're only now missing one programme from all the sets for the home games

SoccerMom Posted 28 January, 2010 Posted 28 January, 2010 Nipper loves having a programme; we'd rather spend the money on that than the disgusting coffee. Sadly, the Ipswich one got rather twisted and chewed in the 5 minutes added time.
TopGun Posted 28 January, 2010 Posted 28 January, 2010 Maybe we could have an online version of the programme. I do understand that the requirement for programmes has gone down but there are still quite a few who do keep their programmes and catalogue them. The OS could put the design pdfs of the programmes up but they won't do it as they will somehow feel that will cost them matchday revenue (which it wouldn't if they put the pdf up for download two days later).
Tractor_Saint Posted 28 January, 2010 Posted 28 January, 2010 Which one are you missing? I've got a stack at home from around that time, if I have it, it's yours. Cheers IM - will check with her tonight when she gets in and let you know. A very decent offer from you - thanks!

Heaven knows what they do to it - but it always ends up tasting like Mexican mule p1ss!
stevegrant Posted 28 January, 2010 Posted 28 January, 2010 The OS could put the design pdfs of the programmes up but they won't do it as they will somehow feel that will cost them matchday revenue (which it wouldn't if they put the pdf up for download two days later). But then if people knew they could just download it two days later, presumably they wouldn't buy it at the ground?
SamKimish Posted 28 January, 2010 Posted 28 January, 2010 lol - yeah - the coffee at SMS sure is abysmal. Heaven knows what they do to it - but it always ends up tasting like Mexican mule p1ss! I find if you add three extra milks and two sachets of sugar, the coffee becomes vaguely drinkable
TopGun Posted 28 January, 2010 Posted 28 January, 2010 But then if people knew they could just download it two days later, presumably they wouldn't buy it at the ground? A download isn't the real souvenir though. The club might also find that the advertisers quite like the idea. Although if only 3,200 were printed for Ipswich I wonder whether the advertisers were sold a pup anyway as they were probably quoted a print run of 10,000 or so!
SoccerMom Posted 28 January, 2010 Posted 28 January, 2010 lol - yeah - the coffee at SMS sure is abysmal. Heaven knows what they do to it - but it always ends up tasting like Mexican mule p1ss! almost certainly the programme tasted better...
SNSUN Posted 28 January, 2010 Posted 28 January, 2010 I always buy a programme as a momento of the game itself. It's also where I keep my ticket stubs. I got the Ipswich programme although, because I fold it up and stick it in my back pocket, it won't fetch much in resale.
Channon's Sideburns Posted 28 January, 2010 Posted 28 January, 2010 I buy the programme. It's a habit I guess.. Yes, it's probably a waste. But, just a sniff of a fresh programme transports me back to the early eighties waiting for a windmill to arrive at the Dell. Ok. Just me then?
brianoneils slidingtackle Posted 28 January, 2010 Posted 28 January, 2010 lol - yeah - the coffee at SMS sure is abysmal. Heaven knows what they do to it - but it always ends up tasting like Mexican mule p1ss! What I want to know is, how come you know what Mexican mule p*ss tastes like ??
TopGun Posted 28 January, 2010 Posted 28 January, 2010 What I want to know is, how come you know what Mexican mule p*ss tastes like ?? Buy a bottle of Sol.
RedAndWhite91 Posted 28 January, 2010 Posted 28 January, 2010 Away game programmes are a must, but I don't bother with the home ones - £3 will get me another pint in the pub.
Dimond Geezer Posted 28 January, 2010 Posted 28 January, 2010 almost certainly the programme tasted better... Certainly did on Saturday, ordered a white coffee, when the guy was putting the lid on I noticed it was black, not a problem, I just picked up some milk & sugar. When I tasted it I nearly spat it over the poor guy in front of me. The dopey clot had given me Bovril, which by now had the milk & sugar added. :rock: I buy the programme. It's a habit I guess.. Yes, it's probably a waste. But, just a sniff of a fresh programme transports me back to the early eighties waiting for a windmill to arrive at the Dell. Ok. Just me then? No me as well. :smt054 I've bought a programme at every match I've been to, right back to my first match against Vancouver Whitecaps. The only one I'm missing is MLTs testimonial prog. We were late getting to the stadium & there was a huge queue at the prog seller, so I thought I'd get one once I'd got into the stadium, but they'd sold out.

Red And White Barmy Army Posted 28 January, 2010 Posted 28 January, 2010 if u ever take a trip up to the community office then u'll soon see y they dont print as many programmes as they did last year. they have literally thousands lying around - they try to get their coaches to dish em out. couldnt have been very economical and was a serious waste of trees.
Tractor_Saint Posted 28 January, 2010 Posted 28 January, 2010 Which one are you missing? I've got a stack at home from around that time, if I have it, it's yours. Here you go IM - we're looking for (very aptly!) 4th May 1985 - Saints v Ipswich tractorsaint@googlemail.com if you've used up your three posts for the day - cheers
saintkiptanui Posted 28 January, 2010 Posted 28 January, 2010 I buy the programme. It's a habit I guess.. Yes, it's probably a waste. But, just a sniff of a fresh programme transports me back to the early eighties waiting for a windmill to arrive at the Dell. Ok. Just me then? I might buy a prgramme now just for the smell, really does take you back.
SFC Forever Posted 28 January, 2010 Posted 28 January, 2010 lol - yeah - the coffee at SMS sure is abysmal. Heaven knows what they do to it - but it always ends up tasting like Mexican mule p1ss! Have to take your word for that as that is one drink i have yet to try.
La BoIS Saint Posted 28 January, 2010 Posted 28 January, 2010 Always used to buy them but honestly there's **** all to read. Tend to buy ones from new away grounds but they still just end up in a box.
eesti matty Posted 28 January, 2010 Posted 28 January, 2010 Always used to buy them but honestly there's **** all to read. Tend to buy ones from new away grounds but they still just end up in a box. The boxes in the wardrobe in the spare room, to be precise
Sanguin Posted 28 January, 2010 Posted 28 January, 2010 I and a lot of other people were gutted when they ran out, there was still a huge queue of people trying to get them! Me and my dad travel down from Hertfordshire so its always nice to have something to read on the delayed train back.
saint63 Posted 28 January, 2010 Posted 28 January, 2010 The boxes in the wardrobe in the spare room, to be precise My collection - from my first Dell visit as a youngster in 1963 - is safely in my roof, together with the Football Echo from 1st. May 1976. I was rather hoping for a windfall for my declining years!! Nostalgia isn't as profitable as it used to be!!
Badger Posted 28 January, 2010 Posted 28 January, 2010 I buy the programme. It's a habit I guess.. Yes, it's probably a waste. But, just a sniff of a fresh programme transports me back to the early eighties waiting for a windmill to arrive at the Dell. Ok. Just me then? Definitely a habit,and yes it does bring a sense of nostalgia with it. I no longer save them although the youngsters are starting their collections off so it will be good for them to look back in years to come as I have done in my 1960's,70's and onwards collection. Shame the Football League Review went though,that could sometimes be a good prematch read.
The Incongruous Monk Posted 29 January, 2010 Posted 29 January, 2010 Here you go IM - we're looking for (very aptly!) 4th May 1985 - Saints v Ipswich I'll take a look for you and get back to you over the weekend. :-)

Guy Posted 29 January, 2010 Posted 29 January, 2010 Perhaps the club could set up a Programme Subscription scheme, then people who would like all the home and/or away programmes for a season, get a book of vouchers and can collect copies from a reserved pile in the Megastore before the game (or at a later date).

You can get them delivered by the printers for an entire season...
