shull Posted February 27, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2020 Hardly changed for years. They used to print the Stadium Postcode on the Cover for a couple of Seasons. Totally needless and irrelevant. Law unto themselves. Totally ignore new ideas and suggestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shull Posted March 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2020 5 minutes ago, Dickson said: Just had a wee read through Shulls posts on this. It made me chuckle. My youngest son is now a fully qualified graphics designer working for an agency that serves mainly sporting clients. He too is hugely critical of the St Mirren programme covers. Unfortunately I think St Mirren gave up much of it's editorial control over the programmes when they moved the service to a more generic company when Gordon Scott took over as Chairman. I find the content very good and enjoy the read .. I dislike the boring and bland Cover .. I don't expect them to change it every match . However ,every now and again a Retro Cover could be done or something else original .Even a special Cover to suit an occasion like at Christmas or Remembrance weekend .. Aberdeen do it all the time and are rewarded with having Programme of the Year most Seasons .. Curtis Sports produce our Programmes but the folk at St Mirren have final word regarding the Cover .. Curtis Sports assist Aberdeen and would help us do something different ,, if asked . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It didn't seem like the right thing to do to move the business away from a local printing company to a more generic company in Walsall. I commented on it at the time Other than that Shull I don't really have much of an opinion on it. My son does - but then he's a bit of a chip off the old block 🙂 I'm no expert on graphics design or on artwork but I would agree with you that these look really bland and uninspired. Maybe , your son could approach the Club and give them fresh ideas . I have tried three times and been totally blanked by the Programme people although the person I initially contacted was brilliant and very enthusiastic about different Covers .. The Programme folk must read the Forum and realised my real name thanks to a fecking weirdo sweetie wife .. So any input from me was booted tae feck .

shull Posted March 27, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2020 We finished 9th in the Scottish Premiership Programme of the Year. I am not surprised to see Aberdeen as the winners. 1 Aberdeen 2 Celtic 3 Sevco 4 Hearts 5 Motherwell 6 St.Johnstone 7 Hibernian 8 Kilmarnock 9 St.Mirren 10 Hamilton No programmes produced by Livingston and Ross County Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shull Posted September 30, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2020 I am delighted we are still producing a Match Programme, so well done to those involved. All Clubs should try do a Programme for all matches , just as a matter of record and history. Anyway, and unfortunately our Cover is still very poor. Boring and bland 1/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shull Posted November 9, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2020 They really should try harder. Pish Cover for a Match on the 11th of the 11th.
