shull Posted July 4, 2017 Report Share Posted July 4, 2017 (edited) Will there be one for tonight's Match ? Will be very disappointed if there isn't. We have had plenty time to prepare and produce a Match Magazine. Even a smaller version with a reduced price would do. We are a Professional Football Club and should issue a Match Programme for every First Team Game. Just as a matter of record.

shull Posted July 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 Curtis Sports do our Programme as well as Dunfermline's. Why no Match Magazine for our Friendly but one is produced for East End Park tomorrow night. St Mirren really don't have a clue about giving a decent Match day experience.

shull Posted July 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 It was the Club, not Curtis Sport who decided that no Match Programme would be issued. Because of poor attendance expected. Absolutely disgraceful decision by St Mirren, especially as they made Season Tickets valid. How much money was wasted giving away FREE FIXTURE POSTERS ? Time to start acting like a Professional Football Club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Posted July 6, 2017 Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 The fixture poster is a one-off that the club sell advertising for. Production costs are minimal so it will cover its costs at the very least and more than likely make money. Plenty of companies do this with wall money so there's obviously cash to be made. The majority of income from a programme is from the advertising, which is sold for the season and not per programme. Printing one would not have brought in any additional advertising revenue and it would probably have struggled to cover its costs (which I gather is not unusual for clubs of our status, although that may have changed since the contract programme changed). There would also be the issue of trying to produce it when the contributors, who are unpaid, are more than likely on holiday. Dunfermline maybe felt it was worth the risk that they'd sell enough or they may sell their advertising differently. Hardly the end of the world not having a programme for a friendly. I wouldn't be surprised if clubs at our level only print them because they have to and it's part of the benefits of match/player sponsorship as they won't generate much cash due to increased print costs, minimum orders etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
