Best 2 programmes consistently over the last couple of seasons are rovers and dundalks!!

much better this year

edit: without reading all of Shamrock Rovers programme it looks to be the best away one so far tthis season - but theres not much competition there yet!

Impressed with the Dundalk programme I got on Friday. Not only was there was quite a lot of reading in it and the fact that it looked very professional, but the best thing about it was that the articles weren't just token ones, but quite well researched and in depth. The interview with Collins was a full 4 page spread and the articles on Europe meant there was something of interest to anyone in it. Easily the best I've read this year.

Can I ask about programmes again bit of an anorak!
Does your Club have posters in the programme?
Are they easily accesible if I do recall they were harder to find in some grounds?

Our programme this year is half and half colour and b/w and 3euro.

Middle page is a poster. Easy to find, 2 people on the road as you come up to the ground and 1/2/ directly inside the turnstiles

Sorry but whilst I do agree it has improved, it's not improved that much.

I'll wait until I have seen every programme before making judgement on which is the best

Shamrock Rovers won premier division programme of the year btw for 2009.

Whilst deserved for 2009, I think Dundalk's is superb this year (and in fairness it was very good last year too). Rovers' is still good too and Sligo's has improved considerably. Pats programme has more info than in recent seasons but the lack of full colour takes away from the presentation of it. They do have a full colour poster in the middle pages (action shot with player's signature on it)

**Darkglasses** · 03/06/2010, 1:40 PM

Youth's one is full colour, €3, 20 pages, no idea about sales! Ours was quite bad for the first few home games, but they completely changed it 4 or 5 home games ago, much better now. One of the players writes an article in each programme.

**mick dundee** · 03/06/2010, 10:31 PM

this years dundalk programe is 48 page full colour and only �3. the size has also changed this year to and more compact a5 size which is a lot hadier. the content has also improved a lot

The UCD one has a new editor. It's reduced to 16 pages, but is full colour on glossy paper. Any non-UCD opinions here on the content?

**fionnsci** · 04/06/2010, 4:15 PM

Only read it once. I thought it was overpriced really, there's not much content in it. What is in it is good enough though.

**Enruoblehs** · 05/06/2010, 9:49 AM

No programme for the Dublin Bus v Shelbourne game last night.

Is this a first for an FAI Cup 3rd Round game?

Thought the UCD one was decent enough with plenty of colour photos. Dundalk and Sligo Rovers look the best this season. Shamrock Rovers is always good as well.
