As in where are Greg Florimos boots?

When I was trying to sell them last year it was like "pulling teeth " to be honest .I used to do a bit of a survey myself as to why folk don`t buy them and for a good many people it was the cost. I know to a lot of people £2.50 may not seem a great deal of money but in the East Stand it was more expensive to sit down and tea/coffee pies doubled £1 and £2 here and there soon adds up so they said the programme lost out.
We used to buy the minimum we could toward the end as contrary to what some people thought we found them hard to sell, can you not buy less.

If possible - you should have sellers at the bottom of each stand - a bit like ice cream vendors. Sometimes walking into the ground you just want to get to your place/buy a pint/have a pee before you take your place in the stands. With vendors at the bottom of the stand you can then purchase the program at your leisure. Problem is - it requires the recruitment of more volunteers.

There is no way I will volunteer to find your place buy you a pint and then take you for a pee.

I have bought a program at every game as I was one of the people desperate for the club to produce its own program again instead of that Game on dribble.

No there's a thought. Washroom valets



It's a bit "super-leaguey" though isn't it?

By the time you've paid the sellers and or given them free entry to the ground. Is it worth it to only make a pittence or a loss?

FC Halifax Town Programmes have a "Lucky Programme Number" on the frontpage, I presume there will be a draw with a prize, wouldn't have to be a massive prize but could provide an incentive, may be able to get a local company to provide the prize each week with some advertising space in the programme in return.

An alternative way of doing that which doesnt need any additonal printing on the front page (lucky number bit) is to do what Manchester Phoenix do, in their programmes if your Dominoes Pizza advert has a signature on it (store manager signs a set number of programmes before they go on sale) you get a free Pizza, they go as far as to deliver it to you at the game!

Something along those lines may help increase sales if their is a chance of winning something.

Programme sellers will be on free pizza all year.

But I see your point and any ideas like this should be looked into.
