Not at all, I'm not trying to justify anything.

Spidermanor - I could answer all your points in turn but I will pick up on just two if I may. Firstly your well intended theory may apply to the FA Vase but not the higher profile FA Cup.
Secondly you also miss the point like Petethegreek did, if you were a Football Man through and through, and lived by the Shankly quote, you would know where I was coming from, rules are immaterial where football programmes are concerned.


FA Cup Competition rule 17:
17. PROGRAMME
A Programme or Team Sheet must be produced for spectators with details of both teams.

Your second point is to be ignored as it is just your usual opinionated bullsh!t, designed to try and divert attention from the fact you've been proved wrong yet again.

But please carry on making yourself look stupid, we do enjoy it so.

Yes but try asking a groundhopper who had travelled a hundred miles or more to the game, or a Bowers fan, what he or she thought of arriving wide eyed at Herns Lane on Saturday only to find that a pathetic one page sheet has been produced as an excuse for a programme. That will be your answer, not Rule 17 of the FA Cup Competition.

I know the real reason Rhodes - it was an internal issue, with certain parties withdrawing their labour, "trouble at th' mill" style!

Still no excuse, they must have known about it by Thursday or Friday when alternative arrangements could have easily been put in place to produce a reasonable programme by lunchtime on Saturday, with another printer or such like.

clip Rods, read my first post regarding the WGC programme again. I said that they produced a single sheet of paper folded over. Effectively, a four page programme. Admittedly, I would have expected a bit more but it seemed obvious on the day that there are behind the scene problems there.

 

Everything should be taken in context though. Senegal charged £28 to watch their game against Ghana last night and there was no programme or teanmsheet!

No they are not. I have quoted the FA Rule regarding the FA Cup. Maybe you should pass on your thoughts to Soho Square.

The club met the minimum criteria for the programme and ,like me, have checked the Competition Rules. It may not please the fans but the club did nothing wrong.

As Petethegreek found out the WGC programme complied with the rules of the competition therefore it's acceptable. Whether a small bunch of groundhoppers have their nose slighly put out of joint by this inconvenience is irrelevant.

 

For the record I would be interested in a Senegal v Ghana programme as much as a WGC FA Cup one. At many of the Polska games I have been to there has been no match programme readily available (in Poland, Belgium and San Marino). Did get a programme from Polska v Austria and v Wales in 2005 though.

 

rhodes, think you are severely outvoted (again) on this one so shut up for once though I reckon you won't be able to resist a retort.

Lato - I happened to be here when you came home from work a few minutes ago, turned the key in the lock, closed the door behind you and made a bee line for your computer, switched it on, logged on to the Forum and started posting. Obviously you are bound to side with your partner in crime Spidermanor on this one but you know as well as I do that there is no bigger disappointment in life for a groundhopper to turn up at a match only to find no programme produced, or in Welwyn Garden City's case on Saturday just a single page.

I cannot see a mention of the programme 'scandal' in the match report taken from the Welwyn and Hatfield Times which is somewhat surprising:

No, probably because he wasn't playing, as was the case at Kingsbury the other week.
