The Pats programme was a decent production last night as it happened. Looks good at first glance and a decent read.
Fair enough, but continuation surely! Yez got profiles off me last time, so I don't see why you couldn't have contacted me this time...as much your fault as ours (asuming you contacted someone else who didn't reply) I'm afraid.
Anyway, you know for next time!
Pineapple Stu, ffs whats the story with your programme this season
Was waiting for that!Pineapple Stu, ffs whats the story with your programme this season
Club are taking it over again...they're looking to get it up to 24 pages, so from Friday's programme, you're looking at an extra four pages of ads and four pages of text. Basically, they think the programme should have no other purpose other than to generate money for the club. Apparently some of the artwork was screwed up as well, but it ain't going to be getting much better by the sounds of it. We (the Supporters' Club, who did the programme the last two years) pointed out that content-wise the new prorgamme sounds, well, crap, but they don't really mind about that.
Cork's programme on Friday was a double for the Bray (league) & Shels (Setanta cup on Monday). Very professional and good except for the fact that there is nothing about Bray in it. Shels are featured. All programmes should have something about the visitors. Still trying to figure out what Damien Richardson's article is all about.
i shelled out 2 euro for that, never again
Hi, Bray Head. Thanks for your comments.
In response, I apologise unreservedly for the lack of Bray penpix as I have done already to Jack O'Neill and Mícheál Ó hUanacháin. We got our wires crossed at this end as to who was sourcing the Bray material and didn't realise the situation until wrap-up, by which time it was too late. I guarantee, if I am still involved with City Edition, that this will not happen again for your next visit in September. Incidentally, there is no more helpful club to deal with in the country than Bray for supplying programme-related material.
We also had to pull back another article when certain official + Setanta stuff had to be included - we found out about this on Tuesday evening, just a few hours before wrap-up...

Got your programme v cork in cup last season and content wise i thought it was very good for a 1st division club - programme on friday was an embarrassment
Why the Cork game? Were you not at the Drogs game? I know you get around the grounds, but even still!
I always liked our programme. Not enough colour or pictures for some fans, but always something to read. Nothing we can do about it now though - you'll just have to buy the fanzine instead!
I think that our programme has come on leaps and bounds this last few years - we've got colour this year and as a result the price has gone up to €2.50.
We have the usual stuff like the chairman's welcome, manager's page, club stats, league stats and ads. Also we have a look back at old games with that night's opponents and profile the away team's players. Also, an interview with someone past or present connected with the club and then Harping On which is a fan's view of the latest happenings and then for the grand finalemy own piece - a season diary.
From this week on, the programme will be extended by 4 pages, taking it to 36.

Haha, can't remember the programme from the drogs game (not even sure if I got one - mightnt have- , though I probably had a good few drinks on me for that one and lost it
Got your fanzine on friday but didnt even get a chance to look at the cover - lost it within 5 minutes

i'm in shock u, drinking
That's OK - you'd seen the cover in Tolka anyway! 'Tis out of date now anyway as our row with Shels has been settled...Got your fanzine on friday but didnt even get a chance to look at the cover - lost it within 5 minutes
Actually forgot how good the cork one was to be honest til i read it again on friday - is better than this years drogs one, but only slightly
looking forward to seing the drogs one after all I've heard about it. If its nearly as good as City Edition, it'll be a damn good readActually forgot how good the cork one was to be honest til i read it again on friday - is better than this years drogs one, but only slightly
In fairness to the lads, they are not sitting back at all, you can clearly see the effort that goes into each issue. It is the job actually .... and fast becoming on of the best places to get info on the club along with the website.Actually forgot how good the cork one was to be honest til i read it again on friday - is better than this years drogs one, but only slightly
Would never complain about this, as going back 7-8 years .... we were literally starved of info. There was practically no info coming from the club.
Every club should be trying to communicate with the fans and a programme is probably the single best way of doing so as not everyone is on the net.
The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.
Yeah, Pat's programme looks like a decent enough effort. Good info and varied enough articles that don't just look like bland club propaganda though not much on the opposing team. The 3 Euro is a bit steep though.

Pats is 3 euro as well
Catch 22 isn't it? We moan about lack of finances for clubs yet the prices for these programmes are extortion.Pats is 3 euro as well
well the City programme is 2.50, not that many ads, and we make decent money on it AFAIK. Fact is, if people see that a simple thing like a programme is a rip-off, then they're not likely to have much faith in anything else the club wants to sell them
