Yes I understood that too

Just a few random points here and ideas. Something I would personally like to see and perhaps could be looked at as options at some point. Maybe at the next meeting.

I saw on social media a poll on whether programs are worth persevering with on match day. This got me thinking about what I would like to see and what would sell.

So, would I buy a programme on a regular match day? The answer is no. And I’m pretty hardcore as a fan as are most here I’d suspect.

I would however buy it if there was a unique selling point such as…

A 2025 sticker book collectible - something for example like the old pokemon books or old football sticker books.

Pre season all sticker books are sold. Each match day there are 3/4 baseball style cards with each programme sold. Each one on reverse some career short details and front a players position etc.

Would I buy it then? Yes, I probably would as a collectible. I’d even pay £5 or so every match to fill my collection up.

The first one of the season could include an official trinity pin badge too.

That is the old reason I would consider buying a programme these days.

I don’t know if something like that is possible but it could be popular with kids and adults alike.

A programme in this day and age just wouldn’t sell as is.

Just a random thought that came to me this evening.

It may seem trivial but ideas like this cost nothing and can really promote engagement between club and fans of all ages. Collectibles like this are becoming a thing of the past but when you look back at them from years ago they generally mean something.

So yes I forgot to mention that. Matt did say he liked the idea of bringing a programme back.

Lots said it was a good idea

Personally I think it's an older gen thing.
I'd rather get the most up to date view on my phone on the morning of tge game.

Everything in a programme is at least a couple of days out of date.
Anything you can put in a programme you can put online.

Just my view.

In terms of your sticker idea.
I used to like doing the World Cup sticker books but as a parent they are very very expensive.
Not sure it would either be cost effective or if it was it would get bad publicity for ripping off fans.

I always fancied that a yearbook sold as a Christmas annual would be cool... I would certainly cough up a few Aussie dollars to collect those ... one for this last season would be a collectors piece!

That’s what I mean. I was just thinking what would encourage me and others to buy. You have to create a product that generates demand and this would imo.

That said I see PTs point. Whether it’s cost effective is another question but for every person like me there’ll be others who prefer the electronic scrolling on phone pre match.

This has got me thinking onto how we can improve the pre match technology element.

How can we get people like PT who would like an electronic programme or content pre match?

Could we sell digital programmes at the ground?

Could we create pre match specific interview, comment and digital wallpaper for purchase pre match to provide exclusive behind the scenes access to paywall content that can be watched pre game.


We are in the digital age afterall.
