What’s happened to programmes?
I’ve noticed recently that they don’t sell them anymore. I used to love a good programme for the collection. I have quite a collection spread around various ex’s attics.

Re: What’s happened to programmes?
Just not the demand for them anymore. They’re relatively expensive and pretty much all of the info in them is widely available already.
When I was a kid I used to collect programs to every football match I went to or every St Helens rugby match and I’d imagine that was common for kids. Now I rarely see people buying them at all.

Oh, there was nothing new in them, I still liked one though. You still get the A4 ones at amateur shows, but they’re actually very useful.maverick23 wrote: ↑12 Jul 2023, 04:53 Just not the demand for them anymore.

Re: What’s happened to programmes?
I’d be far more inclined to get one at an amateur show as the money would likely go to support the club and I wouldn’t know much of what’s in there already.mickey1975 wrote: ↑12 Jul 2023, 05:12Oh, there was nothing new in them, I still liked one though.

At a big pro show I think you’d be lucky to get much change from £15 for a programme and that would just fund the wealthy promoter.

i haven't been to a match room show for ages, not even for the AJ fights?

I know what you mean tho - its a bit of memorabilia
Re: What’s happened to programmes?
Still got my original Hatton - tszyu and Calzaghe Lacey programs
Re: What’s happened to programmes?
I kept most of the ones where I was fighting, however over half I was listed as TBA or someone else was listed!
It was nice to be listed on a few big bills, got them on my wall
