Cork City Football Club:
All Colour Programme
4 euro
About 60 pages
Almost everyone who enters the ground buys it. An average of maybe about 3,000 sold per game.
:eek: Is that true?Quote:

Pats do full colour, Sligo don't. Both charge €3
Shels do full colour as well. €3.
Dundalk FC - Full colour, 48 pages - €4.
Programme I got at Athlone Town last year was one of the worst I've ever had the misfortune to buy. It had about 20 pages and on the whole of those pages there was 2, maybe 3 articles. Every page was just adverts.
Harps normally have full colour but this season the club decided to go with half b&w and half colour. Its about 30 pages this season and still €3 each.
Still a very good read and well put together by our editor Joe Doherty.
Bray's is full colour and i think is €3...
Pat's' is full colour and costs €2 but was free until the summer. Good read.
dodge says £3Quote:

Its definitely €3. The Galway game was 30 pages. Its pretty decent. Sligo's one has a bit of reading in it but the design is poor enough
Cork's is excellent.

There are some very good articles in there too. Local writer Brian Kennedy takes a look back at some past games, there is a stats section. All you need for our next away game. And of course a team sheet.
And much, much more !
And all for € 3. What a bargain.
Wow. People estimate our crowds better than that. :pQuote:

Now that I think of it, that suggests 40 for the Monaghan game. Yikes.
What clubs use all colour programmes?
What price is your clubs?
Do many buy it?
How many pages is in it?
ours is black and white
three euros
not much theres always a lot of stock
24 pages
What clubs use all colour programmes? Used to be colour now in Black and White as colour cost more to print than we sold it for
What price is your clubs? €3
Do many buy it? Sold out last week 20 minutes before game but only had 130 copies for sale.
How many pages is in it? 28 at present going to 32 in a few weeks
Didn't see the "Do many buy it" question. We've been selling to 1/3rd of the crowd in the first two games. Was maybe 1 in 4 or 1 in 5 last year.
You were never in Kilkenny then I presume!Quote:

1 in 3 is the normal rule of thumb for programmes sales. However it is much more for bigger games. Shamrock Rovers sold all 2,000 programmes for the first match at Tallaght and sold out quite early. The attendance was 3,500.
The quality of the programme will make a difference to sales too.
You would have been sitting in the away end. I was sitting in the Donie Forde Stand and all the people around me had a programme, some had two.Quote:

And I bought the programme beside the entrance that Cork fans use.Quote:

None whatsoever
Did you buy it near the pub?Quote:

Yeah Cork is the biggest reading county in Ireland.:D
You langers are selling Harry Potter and the Match Programme without paying royalties again, aren't you? ;)Quote:

No idea, this was back in October or November. Still have the it but at home i Derry. It was a very enjoyable game though (v Monaghan). :DQuote:

No doubt at all Cork's is the best BUT I'd still thnk the figure who buy is about 1/3 of the crowdQuote:
