Re: Matchday programme
2Thanks Joe, got that. Not complaining but aren’t the club missing a trick here? Don’t you normally have to pay for services like this on top of what package you already have. I wouldn’t expect to get this free at a game.Willthiswork wrote:https://www.newport-county.co.uk/news/2 ... programme/

Hope all is good and happy new year.
I think the club have got this spot on. If it's free I think a lot of people will download it and it gives a a good feeling about the club. If the club charge realistically I think the income would be minimal.

5About time. Good to see the club entering the 20th century (and yes I do know we're in the 21st century now, it was a quip to illustrate how far behind technology the club generally is). My guess is that it's free during the pandemic but will probably have a charge attached when "normal service" returns. I would be happy to pay for it myself and hope that this is the beginning of the end for a printed programme and the costs involved in printing it.
Obviously any price for a digital programme should reflect that it isn't a more costly produced printed copy.

Re: Matchday programme
7Yes and I enjoy reminiscing when going through a pile of old programmes. It wouldn't be the same searching online to read a digital version of a 30 year old programme for example (if that was possible).Stan A.

Re: Matchday programme
8I agree that it’s a very good product, especially in these crazy times.
I personally prefer a programme to collect and have done for many years (as I know a lot of others do), so as long as both options are available, and the club doesn’t “lose” money, I feel it’s a good thing.

Re: Matchday programme
9Without the cost of printing but with a similar revenue it could become a better product. If I attend a match I usually buy a programme and will read some before the match and the rest at home. I used to collect them but in recent years chuck them in the recycling instead. The only programme that I haven't chucked out is the Carl Zeiss Jega home game. I know it's worthless but just seeing it brings back such memories of a game I still can't believe County didn't win...
Re: Matchday programme
10IMO that's where analogue programmes win hands down. Coming across it years later invokes such great memories of big games. In years to come today's youngsters will come across the programme for the Leicester City game and say yes that was the day we beat a Premier League side in the FA Cup.wattsville_boy wrote:Without the cost of printing but with a similar revenue it could become a better product.

Re: Matchday programme
11How do I access the programmes on a desktop machine? I can see the Southend programme but not the Brighton one.
