Couldn’t quite believe my eyes reading the article below. £85 will get you all 19 programmes delivered in a season at a £10 discount to buying them individually. This means that 19 programmes would typically cost £95, a cost of £5 a programme!

That’s a horrendous price rise from the previous £3.50. Hopefully everything at Selhurst hasn’t gone up like that …

I was suspicious when there was a long survey about the programme in the off season.

I stopped collecting them years ago. I religiously got them every game until one day I had way too many of them!

Don't overlook the fact that postage charges have gone up since last year. A 'Large' letter of 500gr+ is now £2.95 first class (which is how these are mailed), so actually a discounted cost of £2.05 per programme....

My experience is very rarely, I did it for one season, I didn’t even get two, one I got an empty envelope, obviously someone at the post office was a Man U fan. Sometimes it came Saturday morning, but most of the time Monday or Tuesday after the game

I only did it to save me carrying it about at the game and on the way home, for me it was worth paying the postage, but I gave it up because of the poor service, but to be fair a lot of that could’ve been down to Sittingbourne post office which is dreadful at times

Not forgetting the fact that my daughter threatened to beat you up if you didn't buy from her

They have this most seasons.

Exactly the same for me. I think this is also the same for many others.

Ironically I stopped buying them when our most recent PL era started, well second season anyway. Was very much a standard match day experience for me however I think the football became far more entertaining and therefore the need for reading material lessened! Plus the queues outside of the Holmesdale, at the top of the hill where side-o often was, lengthened and this put me off! Where we they all at home to Crewe on a wet Tuesday eh?

 


Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

The last time I bought a program was back in the Eighties so genuine question what do you get?

Team news, club news? well the HOL or the club website gives you that.

I stopped buying because it was just adverts and puff pieces.

Gone are the days you bought a program at the ground to discover the team and something about the opposition.

 


One more point

Cheaper paying for a membership and getting the e-programme, You get it on time and can forward it to all your pals.
