So yeah, fix that. Do people still buy the News and Record? You can get most of the same information for free on the website. I know for smaller clubs in League Two and non league most of the time it costs more to produce the match day programme than the revenue they get back from it.

The content is banal and there are countless errors. I suspect the powers that be at the club don't pay much attention because if they did, there would be a radical overhaul. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I suspect you’re right. It’s something that gets churned out because it’s always been done… you never know though it might get an overhaul soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted February 11, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted February 11, 2023 I stopped buying The News and Record not long after the kids were born as a cash saving measure. Then I realised I had always just bought it out of habit. I've not bought another since except for when I'd sent pictures of the kids in. I might buy one for the novelty soon, just haven't really thought about it recently. But yeah, you should be able to buy it without cash. Christ even some beggars have a card reader these days.

OutByEaster? Posted February 11, 2023 Author Moderator Share Posted February 11, 2023 You can buy it without cash. They all have card readers don't they? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hadn't bought one for ages, I always offer to get the lad (9 year old) one, he's always declined, more interested in phones or ipads. But I bought him one at the Leicester game and he loved it. Filled in the teamsheets etc, then kept him quiet on the train back. Definitely get him one again. Regret not getting the Queen memorial one, bet they're 50 quid on ebay now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imavillan Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 Can any Holte End season ticket holders tell us what the general gist is of the survey please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andycv Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 @imavillan I would be very interested in that too. I also wondered if the club will be doing anything similar for the Doug Ellis. Anyone know if this was discussed at the recent Fan Consultation Group meeting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 You'd think they were shaking out enough pennies at this point. No doubt you'll need your Claret Membership+ Titanium edition to gain eligibility for the privilege of trying to buy a GA+ ticket. Perhaps they'll throw in an exclusive desktop wallpaper to sweeten the deal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's interesting - I think it was card only in the Trinity and the Lower Doug Ellis for a period and card is still the preferred method in both of those areas - I'd assumed it was the same throughout the ground.

The Fun Factory Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 Do you remember when Villa tried to introduce healthy foods in Villa Park? That failed miserably. Look we are happy to eat dry burnt out pies with fizzy lager than you very much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
