Eircom league programmes

Dundalk's is the best in the first division for me closely followed by Harps. Nobody else is close with Cobh or maybe Shels probably best of the rest. I don't like the size of the Dundalk issue though.

Hard to comment on the premier division as I see very few league games and can only judge on Setanta and European programmes.

Rovers is by far the best, although at €4 its not great value for money.

Cork's isn't a patch on preious years.

Some rubbish efforts out there. Can't comment on any frst division...

What's great value???

Is €2 for 8 pages of ads great value?

Is €1 for a messy photo-copy great value?

Good quality printing ain't cheap.

Cork has a great programme

Shels Dont seem to talk about anything outside Dublin

Dundalk another great programme

Kilkenny lets all start laughing

Can only really speak for the First Division as I've only seen one Premier Division programme this season.

Dundalk the best by a mile. Harps a clear second. Shels was okay and easily finish third, as the other seven would really be better off not even bothering.

agree with sligoman on that. gas thing is up to two years ago we had a excellent match program. but this is what happens when there is cutbacks im afraid!

Unfortunately its part of the club licensing.

Best in the First Division I've seen to date has been the Finn Harps and Wexford youths programmes. Hopefully going to Dundalk next week so will see what thats like.

I always thought Corks programme in the Premier was a good read but haven't been down there this season. Have Shamrock rovers, bohs, Bray and St. Pats programmes for this season and all have nice articles and useful bits of info. Premier programmes that I've got this season are a lot better than what I have for the first division.

Fantastic souvenier alright, but overall the drogs programme has been s*** this season!! As i said earlier, as much as it kills me to say it the craptown programme could well be the best programme in the premier and first division

This is very true. I've often seen UCD's programme criticised for produced on normal printing paper. There's a trade-off here - glossy or cheap.

What do people prefer? Would you happily pay �4 for a glossy programme, or would you sooner the same content on non-glossy paper for �2?
