I'm pretty sure our one is half colour. All the pen pics and that are now colour, pictures,cover,ads etc. i think we've 2 outside club contributors who write articles for every match too, the rest is club notes, board notes, manager notes, supporters clubs, opposition team, next match directions, local FAI notes.

Fair ebough, haven't seen Dundalk's in years. Never really consider the first division (and yeah I know, I know...)

You're right, ours is half colour. 28 pages A5. The lay-out has been altered a bit to make better use of the coloured pages, as with the pen pics as you say.
There are three outside contributors (one uncredited

).
They are always looking for more too.

Drogs one is the best value at €2.

Dunno what its like this season but in previous years it has been top notch.

members than our actual Committee!!!

So your Committee has less than four people?

Havnt seen the Dundalk one yet, will check it out next week, but havnt seen one better than ours other than that.
Id say 1 in 3 is about right as programme sales go.

**Mr A** · 09/04/2009, 4:56 PM

It would want to be bloody good for €4!

**El-Pietro** · 10/04/2009, 2:43 AM

derrys is ok - nothing spectacular

look forward to seeing Shamrock Rovers tomorrow, was impressed last season with it

plenty of reading in it, full colour and glossy, and the articles are really good this year - id like to see more away team stuff included though

but sure what difference is it to you what price it is, unless you draw us in the cups

didnt make the game during the week but corks programme, while a good read, is over rated imo - doesnt seem to be as good as it was a couple of years ago.

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

Sold out early v bohs and drogs,so get up early next fri, if going to the stand, you can have a nice read of it over with an even nicer cold pint of harp ! You prob wouldn't have tasted this for 7 years
