Match Programmes

[pineapple stu]

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.

[seand]

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.

You were never in Kilkenny then I presume!

[seand]

Regarding 'do many buy it'... about 1 in 4 at Dundalk, would be surprised if any club with crowds over 1K were selling to more than 1 in 3.

[gspain]

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.

[Umberside]

Without checking Cork's figures.... No, its not true. When I bought one last week I was just about the only one Im not saying they don't sell well but if they sell 1,000 I'd be amazed

Pats do full colour, Sligo don't. Both charge €3

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.

If anyone would like to download the PDF of our match programme from the match against Kildare it is available here It is a colour version of our black and white print

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

There's absolutely no way that Cork sell 3,000 programmes in a crowd of 3,500

None whatsoever

For comparison, I understand Derry sell around 500 hundred programmes with an average crowd of 2-2.5k.

Those Cork people sure like to read....or look at pictures.

[Umberside]

Yeah Cork is the biggest reading county in Ireland.

I beleive theres 200 copies printed for most matches (maybe Redron could confirm?)
Pages about 24 I think

[thischarmingman]

Price?Full colour?

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).

[DeNiro]

Waterford United produce a full colour programme, with all the usuals, Board/Committee Notes, Managers Notes, Away Team Info.
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.

It wasn't full colour for the Sporting Fingal game and the pen pics are in colour either. It was just the cover that was colour from what I remember!

Oh yes, there was a bit of incident in that game alright!

Not 3000 but the numbers are good. Remember that Citys programme has been great for the last 6-7 years and built up a regular number of buyers. Loads of reading so its well worth it. Better than some magazines imo.

[longfordjames]

BTW do many clubs sell back issues in the club shop?Good for fans who may miss a game

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

Pats do seel back issue of programmes (and try and buy some from away games for those who can't make it)
