The football league voted to stop producing programmes so we won't be the only club doing this.watfordbee wrote:Poor and amateurish from the club, must be the only club in the country to not produce a programme.

Re: e-programmes
I'm already reading my copy!
I quite like it. Storing PDFs is less onerous than storing physical copies and even though I'm not going to the match tonight it's nice to be able to get a copy.

Re: e-programmes
For us international Bees this is just great! Just read the first programme in three years - excellent reading
Re: e-programmes
If you want a hard copy, colour printers cost £30. If groundhoppers want something printed, team sheets available in club shop (how much?).
This is the new norm.
I'm not saying I agree with it, but I wonder what the costs were vs advertising money received + sales vs cost of production & paying programme sellers.

Alex, you write in the programme. How many were normally sold? Will be interesting to compare vs number of impressions of online programme.
Also, i'm not wishing to give anyone any ideas, but I think they should be free for members, and emailed out on the day so they have them first.

Will be fun getting it signed
Re: e-programmes
I assume it was losing money - in which case I can't really complain (although I'm sad that 100+ years tradition has been lost at a stroke) - I don't think raising the price to £4 would have been viable. At least it postpones the day when I'll need more shelves built to house my collection (which goes back to 1959)! I won't be reading the e-version - not sure yet whether I'll buy the team sheets - thought 30p for the Ipswich one was a bit cheeky - they can only cost 2 or 3 pence to produce.

Re: e-programmes
Can the e version be annotated? I know some people like to make notes on the program, score/scorers etc
Maybe the teamsheet could be used for that for those that like to.

Re: e-programmes
Part of me is very disappointed, buying a programme has always been part of the home match day experience ( I stopped buying away ones several years ago). There always appeared to be quite a lot sold - we were known to run out when there was a large away following - so I'm surprised the club presumably consider it to be non cost effective, but what would I know?
However whilst I always bought the programme, I rarely had time to give it more than a quick glimpse pre kick off then if we lost, I couldn't be bothered to look at it afterwards so I suppose it was a waste of money. At least with it being on-line I have the opportunity to read the online version before leaving home , so will probably end up reading more for no cost than I often used to when I was paying £3.
It's rather harsh though on those who don't use the internet, but then, so much in life these days must be difficult for those who don't use the internet.

Re: e-programmes
I'd be disappointed if I was at the match, but being at home its great to have the program available, and FOC
Re: e-programmes
Yes - at least you can on an iPad. Save it into iBooks and you can then digitally scribble on it. Other pdf editors are probably available.

First time I have looked at a programme for some years having given up buying them and binning all but a few important ones.
