Match Programmes this Season

[transitionperiod]

I've had a look through the forum and I havent seen this spoken about much but to me it's an integral part of going to football.... getting a programme!

 

Having been to quite a few matches this season it got me wondering who has the best match programme and for what reasons. Personally I cant stand buying a programme only to find it's full of adverts and very little content, I feel cheated! At this level of the game I know cost is a major factor as to the quality, as is people's time in order to make it so I dont want to be too harsh

 

Of the programmes I have seen I like:

 

St Margaretsbury - nice colour cover let down a little by not having colour content

Berkhamsted - Smart presentation - £1.50 let it down as there wasnt much to it!

Burnham Ramblers - Had lots interesting content & half time entertainment.

 

I missed going to Aylesbury Utd but i think they won programme of the year last season so it would be good to know what they are like!

 

What does everyone think so far this season?

Best programme is probably Hoddesdon Town's.

 

It's a regular award winner.

Maybe not in that season when your programme won the SSML award.

 

Have you ever stepped inside the Hoddesdon Town Boardroom and seen the numerous awards at League and National level that the Club has won for its programmes over the years?

And a good read it was on Saturday.

Yes I have, I've been wined and dined by Roger many times in there, Lowfield is another of the handful of SSML grounds I can visit without getting filthy looks and being treated like something I brought in on the bottom of my shoe

To be fair cliff, I am always delighted to see you at Lowfield just cos it puts my mind at rest that you haven't been beaten up yet!!

 

Seriously though, when you coming over next? I didn't get a real chance to chat to you at our doomed vase game at Bethnal Green.

I think it's again rather than yet.

 

I may be over to watch your game next midweek against London Colney.

How do you travel to Lowfield out of interest when you go under your own steam, I always find it a bit awkward and go to Broxbourne from Tottenham Hale and then walk which is quite a trek, is there an easier way

[NeutralFan]

Get a bus or cab from Broxbourne station? The walk is only about 15 mins mind you. Even less if you walk along the New River up to Admirals Walk

I walk from Broxbourne Station.

 

You can take a taxi from outside the station if you find the walk too far.

[The Doog is King]

I reckon Rhodes will know a more efficient route.......

It’s a lot longer than 15 minutes, I wouldn’t get a cab and get stung for £5 or £6 unless I arrived at Broxbourne station shortly before kick off and I’m sure that, being out in the sticks, the buses are once in a blue moon

 

[NeutralFan]

Rhodes... it's 1 mile, I'm sure with your lanky stride you could do that in 15 mins?

[Horace]

Google Maps says 1.1 miles, 22 minutes to walk. But they don't take account of large carrier bags full of old programmes!
